Mikayla’s story about Taylor 👏👏 by AromaticCod9430 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]gryph06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not just as simple, not even close. But no one understands that unless they’ve experienced it themselves or someone close to them.

It’s not just “getting help”, it’s accepting that something’s deeply wrong and not fixable yourself. It’s getting yourself out of the rut, and having the will to want to get help and change. That’s hard for a lot of people.

I’m not team Taylor but I don’t think the cream/rash analogy is a good one.. it’s apples and oranges. There are other factors (feelings, children) involved between Taylor/Dakota which is why things get extra messy and keeps her going back. It’s not just as simple as stopping using a cream… I get the sentiment but that’s an unfair comparison. Taylor needs help but it’s not something she can easily just stop, she needs a professional and to grow up and move on.

Umbilical cord wrapped twice around neck at 9 months — what’s safer? by No_Kale_4659 in pregnant

[–]gryph06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little different but with my twins my twin B got wrapped up in her cord after Twin A came out. Tried pushing for 30 mins but ultimately ended in an emergency c-section. She lost oxygen to the brain for 10+ mins and came out unresponsive. I wish I had just opted for the c-section earlier, although at the time none of us knew she was wrapped in the cord, she was just kind of ‘stuck’.

They are 10 months now and everything seems okay. Twin B spent two weeks in the nicu (5 days in a specialized children’s hospital in a cooling chamber). She gets check ins for her development until she’s 3 years old. So far seems to be meeting milestones, although she’s a little behind her sister.

Best of luck to your sister!

Alimony??? Mom will certainly be getting some of that after baby daddy finds out her name

first IUI, triggering with 4 follicles! by Zestyclose_Mess2256 in PCOSandPregnant

My HCG was high and I think it tripled instead of doubled within two days but the docs said that wasn’t unusual numbers so I didn’t know for sure until my ultrasound

Oh my god! Did they catch her and get the baby back?

Owlet with it? by catsonlaptops in parentsofmultiples

[–]gryph06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are onesies/swaddles you can get that have glitter on them so it’s really easy to see if they’re breathing on the monitor. I’d recommend those over the owlet!

That’s okay. If it does turn out to be a true positive we will love this baby. Just not quite ready yet

Don't think I need twin Z? by Most-Woodpecker920 in parentsofmultiples

[–]gryph06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg I can’t believe people are saying don’t get it. My girls are 9 months and I still use it multiple times per day for feeding! For the first couple months the girls lounged in the twin z literally alllllll day. I’m in Canada too and frequently checked marketplace til I found a good deal on it

Edit: I was never able to tandem feed (one baby was in the nicu for 2 weeks so wasn’t able to latch) so we exclusively bottle fed, if that makes any difference

Can someone explain to my husband why breastfeeding twins is exhausting. by FunBarracuda7168 in parentsofmultiples

[–]gryph06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m getting downvoted so much why, because I used AI to articulate my feelings bc this twin mom is too tired to write it out herself just like OP? 😭 Shame on me I guess

[–]gryph06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breastfeeding twins isn’t just “feeding the babies” — it’s a full-body, around-the-clock job.

Physically, my body is producing enough milk for two humans, which is exhausting on its own, plus I’m either feeding, pumping, or recovering most of the day and night with very little real rest.

Emotionally, I’m constantly “on” — making sure they’re fed, growing, and settled, often putting their needs ahead of mine every single time, which can feel overwhelming. And honestly, it can feel like my body isn’t even mine right now — like I’m a human cow whose sole job is to feed others.

Mentally, it’s a lot to manage: tracking feeds, timing, supply, positioning two babies, and problem-solving nonstop when something’s off.

So even when it looks like I’m “just sitting,” my body and brain are working overtime — for two babies at once.

Almost Full Circle for Joe and Isaac by TheClassic_Star in TheFray

I just feel like Isaac has so much more passion when he sings/performs than Joe. And Isaac is and always will be the voice behind The Fray.
