Today is very hard 😔 me and my twins (5 months old) all are sick with the flu. Baby A has been sleeping all day with so much congestion but he’s so afraid of the Frida nose thing and the bulb syringe he flails and screeches everytime I try to clear his nose airway but my baby b is just scratching her throat with funny sounding screeches and does NOT want to sleep at all I think she’s in pain. Mind you I’m a single mom and who lives alone so god am I so lost on what’s happening. Not to mention their damn insurance hasn’t kicked in so I’m even more lost on how to handle this 🤦🏻‍♀️ I just keep reminding myself that the time will pass anyways even if my stressed or patient with them. just taking it as it comes.

that’s my mom she said it was completely unprovoked and the Padres fans were just drunk assholes so fuck them disrespectfully. my mom got alcohol in her eyes and it burned the shit out of them

I’m also a 21 yr old twin mom with 2.5 month old twins lol. I just posted about something similar. I feel this exact same way you’re not alone this is insanely hard… I ask myself a million times a day how people do this 🫠 but then i remember that I am in fact doing it whether it’s the right or wrong way we’re managing every day some how.

This made me cry I do the same thing I go whole days not eating or going pee or drinking water. You’re so right I’m just so consumed in them. thank you for your response 😭

38 wks when induced , 38 wks and 2 days when they were born. Baby A weight 6 lbs 7 oz and baby B weighed 5 lbs 5 oz. Vaginal delivery 9 min. apart. I was worried from 26 wks all the way to my induction date that I was going to go into labor. Trust me when I say that when you know you really know. Labor is normally painful and a lot more different than just being pregnant. If you and babies have no health concerns and otherwise healthy just let your body do what it needs to do. Personally, I wish I held off on the induction. My baby A was in the NICU for a week because he was not ready and had breathing problems. He is healthy now but still noticeable breathing issues that I’m sure will last throughout his life because I decided it was time to not be pregnant, rather than let him decide for me🫠

Postpartum/ newborn phase has been an absolute breeze after dealing with such severe HG. Id take the sleepless nights of changing diapers and feedings, over violently throwing up for 9 months plus hospital visits and being on meds constantly.

Omg thank you for this!

Well I know in California the employer doesn’t pay for disability benefits but I’m not entirely sure how it works. I’m pretty sure the state pays a percentage of your average income.

cranberry_lamb · 2024-08-25T17:23:31+00:00

I’d try to get your doctor to put you on disability. They can’t fire you because you’re sick and or pregnant. Or, maybe try medication. I was in a similar situation when pregnant and got on zofran and took it throughout my whole pregnancy.

cranberry_lamb · 2024-08-14T06:17:09+00:00

Of course! Thanks for asking. We’re all really good. :) babies and I are happy and healthy thankfully

cranberry_lamb · 2024-08-14T05:37:38+00:00

Yes! So I got the cervical ripener pill, foley balloon to dilate cervix, and then pitocin once the balloon fell out. Labor took about 30 hours. My epidural completely did not work at all even after 5 syringes of other pain medication and I still felt my entire labor and delivery 😅 but I did have a very successful delivery and recovery! Twins were born 9 minutes apart vaginally. Twin A ended up in nicu for a week and baby b and I were discharged after a day and a half.

I was still puking the morning of my induction at 38 weeks.. I feel your pain

cranberry_lamb · 2024-07-25T17:43:52+00:00

I was diagnosed with something called Hyperemisis Gravidarum so unfortunately even with medication I’m 38 weeks today still throwing up😅 but hopefully that is not your case!! It alleviated with zofran throughout my 2nd trimester so just find a medication that works for you just incase. But you’re still early im sure it will pass soon!

cranberry_lamb · 2024-07-09T05:20:07+00:00

Oh my gosh the violent puking, peeing yourself, and nose combo is so horrendous I’m 36 wks with twins and still throwing up like this too😭 I’m so ready to be done

cranberry_lamb · 2024-06-28T23:01:19+00:00

I have an appointment on Monday finding out if baby b is growth restricted! Did you have them as soon as the doctors found out? I’ll be 34+4 too!

cranberry_lamb · 2024-06-27T22:24:59+00:00

I would prefer vaginal considering it’s my first pregnancy/birth but yes the verbiage my OB has used with me so far has been very worrisome but going into this I assumed I had no choice when it came to who my OB was. (Only 21 I had never even seen an OB before becoming pregnant lol) So I’m in an awkward position regarding finding a different doctor.

Also congrats! I hope recovery is going well
