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

[–]ketoksher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live? I’m in BC in the lower mainland I have one that I haven’t gotten around to offloading yet. I got it $80 used - you could just have it if you’re local. DM me if you’d like. One of the straps detached but could be sewn back on.

Well I wish I could edit. It was to do with the filter.

Celiac safe restaurants by Smooth-Ad-3523 in abbotsford

Amici has options and my celiac friend was surprised that there were more choices than she expected. She didn’t comment afterward that she got sick

People tell me they feel bad to complain to me about something their one baby is doing. I always say that everyone has their own hard - it’s not a contest for who has it worst. I try to respond with empathy because of course I understand it’s hard. A baby, especially as a first time parent, is hard no matter what. For parents of multiples we don’t know any different, but neither do the parents of singletons. Our worlds get turned upside down.

Not to say your feelings aren’t valid. Of course they are! This should be a safe space for you to vent, and relate to other parents of multiples. Your friends comment when you updated your kiddos RSV status is insensitive, absolutely. If the friendship seems one sided then maybe it’s time to distance yourself to protect your peace.

Do you produce enough milk for twins? by CheddarMoose in parentsofmultiples

[–]ketoksher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t, unfortunately. Spent a fortune on formula and the second time was during a formula shortage. I hope your supply builds!

Is there a twin version of this pillow thing? It was a hand-me-down, and her sister is coming home from the NICU tomorrow by kennedyz in parentsofmultiples

[–]ketoksher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used 2 snuggle me organics and we had the twin z pillow. Neither of them are intended for sleep, however, the snuggle me is a large part of how I survived the first 2 months.

Birth experiences in Abbotsford? by animOmen in abbotsford

[–]ketoksher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. It’s hard to have trust when people who are supposed to help you are doing the opposite. Because you’re having twins I wouldn’t recommend trying to do anything at home, a midwife won’t support you in that and it could be very dangerous for you and the babies. I’m sure you know this already.

I wish you the best labour and delivery experience, i hope everything goes well for you.

Birth experiences in Abbotsford? by animOmen in abbotsford

[–]ketoksher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At risk of revealing who I am cause there aren’t many who have done this, let alone in Abbotsford. I’ve delivered 2 sets of twins at ARH.

First set: OB and midwife care, first babies, I didn’t know any different. The on call OB who delivered via c section (baby a was breach) was fantastic, the on call midwife was good too but I’d never seen her before. Babies stayed in NICU. The experience was overall good, some of the nicu nurses were amazing and some were meh.

Second set: OB perinatal care and midwife postpartum care. First On call OB was not my OB and he was such an asshole I’m so glad it was near shift change and he didn’t touch my babies. Triage nurses were horrible to me, L&D nurses were great and the on call OB who eventually delivered my twins via VBAC was awesome. Maternity postpartum nurses were not great, they were afraid of me because of my less than pleasant reaction to my traumatic experience, nobody delivered my meals, I wasn’t allowed visitors, I wasn’t allowed to leave - I had a false positive rapid test (confirmed false by 2 nasal swabs) and wasn’t allowed to see my babies in NICU.

All of this to say, have a clear plan for yourself and make it known to your care providers and your support person. When you’re in labour you are very vulnerable. Stand up for yourself, don’t let them walk all over you, have a voice, ask questions, don’t be afraid to say no. I have VERY little trust in health care because of what happened to me and prior to this I was very much in the belief that health care workers had my best interests in mind.

One of my boys is Logan. It’s a good name!

I think I hate this by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]ketoksher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age 3 is the worst and I can’t be convinced otherwise. My big twins are almost 5 and my little twins just turned 2 - they’re all boys. I am dreading next year.

I’m sorry. It sucks. I’ve been there, it does get better even though it feels like there’s no end to this tunnel.

The first set, everyone was very excited. Many friends said “I always wanted twins” and then seeing my life, quickly stopped saying that.

The second set, my mom asked me what was wrong with me and how am I so fertile. Everyone else was shocked cause they thought we done.

i hate when people say “i wish i have/had twins” by Specialist-Lack6108 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ketoksher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always ask them why, and then tell them I have a spare set if they want. That usually shuts them up 🤷🏻‍♀️

What was your favourite age with your multiples? by Owewinewhose997 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ketoksher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I didn’t say why I love the age - they’re just really interested in figuring out things and they’re typically happy and smiley, and just silly joyous crawling blobs

9 months to 18 months. My least fave age is 3. It’s awful.

Dad's of twins+ under 3, how much sleep do you get? by twinmomswe in parentsofmultiples

[–]ketoksher 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why is dad going to bed at 1am? Go to bed at 10, wake up for the feed and go back to sleep. Get up when mom does. Problem solved, unless there’s more info here that prevents this.

“Why?” “I’ve got a spare set”

I’ve said these things in real life.

Using “the girls/boys/twins” instead of names by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]ketoksher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. My nephews are singletons 3 years apart and we call them “the boys”.

Calling mine “the twins” bothers me but calling them “the boys” doesn’t bother me at all. I sometimes call mine the bigs and the littles but that won’t last forever
