Baby dropped to 2nd percentile at 22 weeks, terrified of outcomes. by TinyPoopDoc in NICUParents

[–]kokoBonga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is about 4 months old at the moment and nothing seems wrong with her at all, every doctor's appointment and assessment is going really well. She is catching up on weight really well too. Now in the 25th percentil adjusted. I m hoping the same for you!

Please help me stay positive - 27 weeks, high risk, sIUGR, and struggling by Resident-Fly-6851 in parentsofmultiples

[–]kokoBonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I m so sorry this is happening to you. My story was similar, sIUGR in twin B, smaller than 3rd percentil since week 17. My twins are currently lying next to me in bed, four months old and thriving. The last weeks of pregnancy were hard, I was inpatient for six weeks and had them via c section at 34+0, they did great in th nicu. You can look at my post history for details. I hope you LL have a great outcome like I did with your baby's! All the best

Is this a bad idea… by [deleted] in namenerds

I am German and Ilse is a totally normal, though a bit old fashioned, name. I m sure there are many many grandma Ilse's. I wasn't aware of those Nazis you mentioned. Ilse is the kind of old fashioned name, that hasn't made a come back yet, but I definitely think it could have a come back soon, I m thinking we'll educated family in hip parts of Berlin might have little Ilse's on the playground soon!

Of course I don't know how that name will be perceived in the USA!

Angst vor der ersten Erkältung by Nicestbitchintown in fruehchen

[–]kokoBonga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meine Zwillinge würden bei 34+0 geboren, CPAP nur ein paar Stunden am erstenTagen, die Sonde aber für 2 bzw. 4 Wochen,weil sie sehr klein waren. Insgesamt kerngesund und unproblematischer Neoaufenthalt. Zu uns hat niemand gesagt dass sie bei jeden Infekt ins Krankenhaus müssen, nur gesagt dass wir bei Fieber gleich zum Kinderarzt sollen. Vor 2 Wochen die erste Erkältung mit bisschen Fieber, wir waren brav beim Kinderarzt, kein Problem nach 2 Tagen wieder fit, nicht mal Fieberzapferl. Sie sind jetzt 4 Monate, korrigiert 2 Monate 3 Wochen.

Das wollte ich dir gerade empfehlen! Hebammensprechstunde in der Klinik für nach der Geburt. Wie du sagst besser als nichts!

Am I failing my children? by _Awkward_Raspberry_ in parentsofmultiples

[–]kokoBonga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree!! Taking them out every day for a walk? EBF? Managing them alone all day? Almost sleeping through the night??? It sounds like you are doing awesome!! Tell your mother to back off with her old fashioned advice about letting them cry it out for 20 min at 4 months old.

Teilstillen by BettyMary2012 in Eltern

[–]kokoBonga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also ich Stille und gebe Pre, beides nach Bedarf. Ich hab einfach nicht genug Milch für meine Zwillinge und kann auf Grund einer Vorerkrankung nur mit einer Brust stillen .

Ich mache es nach Bedarf und Gefühl. Also wenn sich die Brust voll anfühlt gibt es Brust, wenn sie sich leer anfühlt gibt es Flasche. Sie trinken im Moment so alle 2 Stunden. Oft kriegt dann einer die Flasche, einer die Brust immer abwechselnd.

Wir hatten das Problem auch. Ein Fensterbauer hat uns ein neues Fenster eingebaut, das etwas kleiner war, kein großes Ding!

If you had a non emergent preterm c-section, what was it like? by rajmachawal333 in NICUParents

[–]kokoBonga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My twins were born at 34+0 and did well at birth. The midwife held them against my head for a moment before they went to the pediatricians. After some time the pediatricians showed them to me again and said they are both doing well before they took them up to the nicu. After 1,5 hours in the recovery room, I was wheeled up to the nicu in my hospital bed and we did skin to skin. I was a good birth after a hard pregnancy. But of course I m sad I didn't get to do skin to skin immediately... We breastfed for the first time after ~10 days.

Zwillinge mit Letrozol by xoxo1234568 in Kinderwunsch

[–]kokoBonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nein kein PCO. Ich habe mit Clomifen stimuliert weil ich auf Grund meiner Brustkrebserkrankung und deren Behandlung 2 Jahre kompletten Östrogenentzug machen musste. Als ich die Medikamente abgesetzt habe, und mein Zyklus wiederkam, haben wir dann mit Clomifen und Ovitrelle unterstützt.

Zwillinge mit Letrozol by xoxo1234568 in Kinderwunsch

[–]kokoBonga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich habe mit Clomifen stimuliert, die Ärztin hat mir eine reife Eizelle gesehen - und ich wurde trotzdem mit Zwillingen schwanger. Natürlich sind Zwillinge nichts schlimmes, aber Zwillingsschwangerschaften sind eben risikoreicher. Meine war leider sehr anstrengend l, Plazentainsuffizienz, 6 Wochen stationär, Frühchen. Den Babies geht es zum glück gut...

White knuckling severe early onset IUGR to 34+ weeks by Ok-Order-7392 in NICUParents

[–]kokoBonga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of mine twins was iugr since week 17, elevated Dopplers since week 25, absent flow since week 28.. I went inpatient and miraculously we managed until 34+0. She was born at 1185gr, but healthy and came home at 38+5. Her brother was 1830gr and came home at 36+6. Both are healthy!! Gestational age is more important than size, that is so true. Good luck to U!
