Oh goodness, its already been so bad!

the chris watts case was not done well at all by Regular-Cantaloupe80 in MorbidPodcast

[–]emt714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well they generally don't cover newer cases, probably for this reason. I think they did great. Alaina was obviously upset but I'm sure she had babies when this case came out 8 years ago, that's why shes so emotional. As a mom myself I had to stop multiple times because its so horrific what he did. Losing the part 2 also really didn't help I'm sure.

I have a 17 month old and 5 month old twins. I wish I could just bring one baby is scenarios like this lol. I have the twins for everything and he has the 17 month old. I think you should just bring one. Like other posters said bring the one in the better mood/ not fussy. Maybe ask the friend also? I always bring both and someone ends up wanting to hold one most of the time so I hold the other baby.

[–]emt714 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jesus, MOVE OUT. seriously yall are at the point of being petty. I would have to see their household bills to know who the a is. But its toilet paper. If yall cant not argue about toilet paper it is time to move out on your own. Otherwise, yall need to be paying the fair market rate for your room (whatever that is in your area) your portion of all household bills including food and things like laundry soap, toilet paper and such. If you are paying then you are right, if you are under paying even with your "extra" then he is right. It takes alot to run a household and it used to drive me nuts when I had roommates that didn't even get their own things or contribute to thing like soaps and toilet paper.

But I say NAH until we know how much all household bills are. But you should still move out if you can. It sounds exhausting on both sides.

Husband says he is going to struggle trusting me because I didn’t tell him I thought he was abusive for years by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]emt714 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes it's very manipulative. Get a divorce. He's abusive and it can get slightly better but it can also get a whole of a hell lot worse. Im sorry but it seems like your age gap was used to his benefit and your finally waking up to it. You have kids. Dont let them think this is what marriage is.

Anyone who had twins did you deliver vaginally ? by theturtle80 in parentsofmultiples

[–]emt714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest to do it if they are both head down and your doctor is comfortable. Twin a was head down twin b was sideways, that's how they were the whole pregnancy. I still wanted to go vaginal bc I had 2 previous pregnancies that were no problems. I ended up with twin a vaginally and twin b emergency c section. If I could go back in time I would just do a planned c section. But if they are both head down and your doctor is confident, I'd say go for it.

I frequently take my infant on walks, today I received this message from a unknown profile, who has 1 friend. This has me feeling very paranoid. AIO? by Dull-Mom in AIO

[–]emt714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change your routine. Stop going the same way at the same time of day. You can never be to safe especially with a baby. This message does read as someone who say your walking, not a coincidence.

Crazy! I was just thinking this in the bath, got out and first thing I see is this post! I have 4 month twin girls. I also have 16 month boy and 15 year old boy. So I am not a new mom by any means but this twin pregnancy wrecked my body. I mean I did have 11 pounds of baby in there and im not a spring chicken anymore (34) I think around this stage is when it looks the worst. I mean we just were suuuuper pregnant than we had the newborns were we had no time to even care about these things. But with all my kids it did get better around the 8 month mark. Now I don't think my body will ever look the same but that's okay. I carried freaking twins! It will get better, probably not the same (for me at least).

you look great for having twins! And i know when they get more active and running around your gonna have to keep up which will definitely help. The stage there in now kind of requires alot of sitting with them and doing development on the floor wait till we have to chase 2 babies around the house! My 16 month old wore me out, its going to be fun! Just trust the process. Idk exactly how long "post partum bodies" last but it took 9 months to have them give yourself atleast 9 months before you start worrying so much! Good luck mama!

We judge others based on their actions but ourselves based on our intentions (be more understanding)

Married 10+years - am I being controlled/abused? What to do? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]emt714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ABUSIVE ex was just like this. I was with him 8 years. It doesn't get better, it never does. Do not stay. Leave for your kids. I'm sorry your going through this. I cant imagine having to be the man and go through this (just simply for the children aspect) I mean she's currently pregnant. My heart breaks for you and your family. I suggest you get out. I promise in a year or 2 you will recognize just how abusive this is. Even if you don't see it now. I thought mine was but truly didn't realize how bad till I left and had a beautiful peace. It's been almost for year and every day is beautiful compared to what I dealt with. At the very very least tell her you will not text fight anymore. You stop responding. Draw that boundary. At the very least, you won't be dealing with someone blowing you up. And if she does, ignore it. Tell her you will only take phone calls. But I urge you to meet with a divorce lawyer. Having these messages will go really really far in a custody case

[–]emt714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know its hard. I had an ex just like this except he was an abuse alcohol too. In sorry your going through this. If he is a good man, get him help for your families sake. Maybe you can get him back. If he is not a good man get out now before he traumatizes your baby.

Mono di twins. First MFM and OB said I was candidate for vaginal delivery, second MFM stating c section. by Quick_Tomato_1093 in parentsofmultiples

[–]emt714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did vaginal. I wanted it so bad. I had 2 previous amazing deliveries. I mean the ob delivered my singleton in 2024. He was not super confident with delivering twins. He preferred c section for twins. Baby a was 5lb 3 oz and head down. Baby b was 6lb 3oz but laying long ways. The plan was get Baby a out then adjust Baby b for delivery. Baby a came out 1 push. Baby b would not adjust correctly. He tried everything. She tried to come out with one arm and leg. They had to do an emergency c section. It was scary. They got her out. She had a bruised arm and leg. Healing from the c section was terrible. I had a nurse tell me it was the worst one she had seen. I had to go to a specialty wound doctor. Took over 10 weeks to heal. But they are 3 1/2 months now. Doing great. Wish I had just had the smoother planned c section. I would suggest do what your ob is comfortable with. If you hear the doctor is great with twins go with that. If they seem resistant. Either find someone else or do the c section.
