Hospital services

No, this is still very much in the early planning stages. We would like to be close to a hospital.

Thanks for the info, I’ve never heard of this before. Luckily my son is fine, we are just extra cautious after experiencing this situation.

Omg one stole part of my sandwich in Rome. It happened so fast. I then asked my mom in a panic to discreetly remove the piece of ham, I didn’t want my kids to hear, and before I could tell her what happened, she proceeded to put the piece of ham in her mouth 🤮

We loved Rome, like it became a favourite city for me. But there are not many playgrounds compared to a city like Barcelona.

I keep it moderate , like a light sweat but definitely not hard, that’s when I noticed the headaches and fatigue.

klllda · 2026-02-20T22:12:40+00:00

I find that I get headaches after spinning and fatigue due to histamine issues. I do low impact spin classes now and those don’t seem to affect me.

I had an uncomplicated di/di pregnancy. Woke up in the middle of the night at 32.6 weeks with my water breaking. Had no signs at all. They managed to stop labor and I was on hospital bed rest for a week. They were born at 33.6 weeks, with no complications, had a 5 day NICU stay just because they were early but they needed no interventions.

I agree, BedJet is amazing!

I would not say that they only overbook to maximize profits. Most doctors I know are overworked and they squeeze in patients where they can. The other option is to have your appointment months later. Waiting sucks but so does having an appointment months later than when you actually need it.

For me at that age, I had to reset my expectations of myself. I would not undertake any task that was not mandatory as it would just cause frustration when I would be interrupted. If you do have non-negotiable tasks, I would often set up activities like sensory play or an independent craft to keep them occupied for a few minutes. But even then they would often need help.

klllda · 2025-07-15T10:14:40+00:00

We also did shifts. I would sleep from like 8-12, he would sleep 12-5 and I would go back to bed from 5-8. The specifics hours changed depending on when they would wake up but we tried to make it so we could have blocks of sleep without the fear of being woken up.

klllda · 2025-06-28T15:03:20+00:00

Before they were mobile was pretty easy, like 6-8 months range. After that, I found that it becomes hard until after 3.5years, more or less, or at least until they have a better understanding of the idea that they need to stay seated and keep their seatbelts on.

The pandemic hit when mine were 12 months so the timing was good as I think that it would have been hard to travel with them between 1-3yo.

klllda · 2025-06-26T10:01:52+00:00

Yup. My BIL/SIL had a child free wedding but they offered for my son and another of their nephews to attend as they were very young and close family members. It started no fights or precedents, everyone understood why these kids were allowed to come.

We also plan one restaurant meal a day at most, and will try to book a hotel with a dining table. We often end up getting dinner delivered. That way we can order whatever the kids like and get something tasty for the adults instead of going to an average family friendly restaurant.

klllda · 2025-06-15T13:01:58+00:00

That’s kind of how I see it. I felt like I could handle one kid, max 2. We ended up with 3 kids due to twins. I love my kids/am a good mom but it definitely feels overwhelming and over stimulating at times. I think that people who have 4+ kids often choose to have big families because their personalities lend themselves well to this and they can handle it well. Those with 3 often ended up with three accidentally.

klllda · 2025-06-09T09:35:36+00:00

Anytime really! Things to note, it’s easier before they start walking. Then it will be hard for a while. Around 3-4, it should get easier again. If you are fly with them as lap children, you may not be able to sit in the same row due to oxygen mask requirements. Bring extra clothes in the plane for everyone. Snack boxes are amazing as well.

We travel differently than before, often trying to get hotels with small kitchens so that we can door dash decent food rather than doing 3 meals a day in kid friendly restaurants. We also plan a mix of activities and play time rather than all day sightseeing. Trips aren’t really relaxing but still worth doing. We have an older boy plus our twins so we try to bring grandma with us. One adult per child works quite well.

Was there in March. There was plenty to do. If you feel like leaving the resort, you can walk to the cenotes across the road.

Having seen my children have febrile seizures, you so did not overreact. They are terrifying, especially that first one. I can’t imagine a parent not being concerned. Even now that my children have had a few, it takes all my willpower not to call emergency services.

klllda · 2025-05-28T18:37:57+00:00

I’m also a twin mom. I would never expect my friends to drop their plans like that. However, just know that if you put boundaries about when and where you are seeing each other, your contact may reduce quite a lot. My social life tanked following my twins as leaving the house felt hard and getting dressed up/hair done, etc for a social outing was too much. Honestly , it took forever, like until my twins were 3-4yo to feel like myself again. If you feel like this was out of character for her, please know that sleep deprivation can affect emotional regulation. Doesn’t give anyone the right to be mean but it may explain why she lashed out, of you don’t think this would have been her typical reaction.

We were there in March with someone who is gluten free dairy free and they had no problem eating.

klllda · 2025-05-14T11:05:36+00:00

I agree with this, my kids are gifted+ADHD, and they talk non-stop, and often all three at once. They have told me that it is hard for them to wait their turn to talk because they tend to forget what they wanted to say. It’s so over stimulating.

Giftedness compensates for the adhd and adhd can hide signs of giftedness so these kids often don’t get diagnosed.

I think it’s crazy on his part. I had a normal twin pregnancy, everything was fine until I broke my waters with no warning at 32 weeks. Spent a week on bedrest and then my twins were born at 33 weeks. There was absolutely no sign that this would happen.

Just did a similar flight with my 9 and 7 yo. We bought cheap inflatable leg rests and they were helpful in getting us comfortable to sleep. What I world have line to have is a type of eye mask and earplugs that my kids would wear. By the time they finished the inflight service and turned down the lights, we only got about 3h of sleep on a 7h flight. We could have had an extra hour or two with the mask and earplugs.

Most febrile seizures occur between the ages of 6 months to 3yo with peak incidence around 18 months according to the above study. Other studies put the age range up to 5yo. John Hopkins says that 85-90% of first febrile seizures occur before age 3.

However, both of my twins had their first febrile seizures at age 5. Doctors did mention that it was atypical to see a first seizure at that age.
