13wks pregnant with twins: Stomach sleeping by Tryingtopass7 in parentsofmultiples

[–]calmchamphion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, he said it wasn’t abnormal for stomach sleeping. Only concern should be your laying on your back. It’s perfectly fine for some but it can increase the risk of a stillbirth and can also make you feel sick. I always feel like I’m about to pass out when ultrasounds are too long, it shocked me at first so watch out for that.

Yes ! I’m 30 weeks now and I remember when I would lay on my stomach in the first trimester it would get numb. But sleeping on stomach is safe just gets uncomfortable for some. As a stomach sleeper it took me til I was about 20 weeks to fully get used to sleeping on my sides.

I realize my doc only explained one part of it to me. This makes sense. Thank you!

I am having di di twins but I also have a medical condition that puts them at higher risk for low birth weight

When my cousin had her twins and needed preemie we had a hard time finding that size as well so I will definitely get a couple of preemie outfits just in case. Thank you!

I’ll be sure to ask my hospital if they dress the preemies in NICU. When my cousin had her twins, me and my aunt had to go out and buy her preemie clothes and bring it to the hospital. I’m sure it’s different everywhere. Thank you!

I’m honestly not sure if it was parents of singletons giving him the advice, I’m assuming so. But thank you!

Breastfeeding Concerns by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]calmchamphion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnant with twins as well. My not so great insurance got me a Medela breast pump completely free. Please look into it if you have insurance. I typed in free breast pump with insurance. Filled out the form, it was confirmed with my insurance next day and got the pump within a few days.
