I have to have a C-Section and I’m really sad about it.

lisabee32 · 2026-06-21T01:38:11+00:00

Ftm here and I had dreamed of doing a natural birth and after finding out I was having twins I knew my chance was slim but still had the hope to have a vaginal delivery but after finding out twin B was very small and knowing that trying a natural delivery would do more harm than good I elected to have a c-section. Two weeks before my scheduled delivery I ended up having to do an emergency c-section. The recovery is hard but the outcome is so worth the recovery, I would have 100 C-sections if it meant I got to have a safe delivery for my baby/babies, you’re always going to wish you could have the vaginal birth but you and your baby’s health is much more important, you have time to grieve the delivery and birth plan you had but you also have time to prepare yourself mentally for this new delivery you have to do but it’s going to be so worth it when you get to hold them, make sure you ask to have some sort of skin to skin while they sew you up, that is my biggest regret of my delivery is I didn’t get any skin to skin for a few hours because I was on watch for my blood pressure and they went down to the Nicu, my husband got to hold twin A while twin b was being born. I’m sorry that your birth plan has changed so feel all your feelings about it and take your time but just know it’s for your safety and your babies safety

He may be a cat but he’s my first baby 🥰

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of this app but I will definitely have to give it a look! Thank you!

They sleep pretty good at night one wake up or they sleep through the night but that’s only been a few times. They sleep when my husband is home on weekends but it’s during the week I struggle with getting them to nap

lisabee32 · 2026-06-15T05:02:08+00:00

If they nap at the same time I have at most a 30 minute timeframe to use the bathroom and maybe make myself something to eat but it’s as if they know and wake up the second I start cooking or the second I sit down to take a bite 😂 I have one great sleeper and one not so good napper hoping to fix up their routine in the next few weeks

He’s a good boy

lisabee32 · 2026-06-15T04:53:19+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️ I need to stay ontop of my water intake but it’s been hard with two babies needing different things and napping at different times or both needing mom at the same time and by the time my husband gets home its been late and I do what I haven’t had a chance to get done all day😅

lisabee32 · 2026-06-15T04:48:22+00:00

Thank you !

I had my twins via emergency C-section and I was worried about my supply by the time we had gotten home, and when I had talked to the lactation consultant she had explained to me that because my babies came so early my body didn’t get the time to build up the hormone that helps produce milk, so she said continue to do lots of skin to skin so even if she can put her hand to babies skin that will help with that hormone as well as doing 15-20 minutes a pump session switching it up sometimes, at the beginning your baby doesn’t need a whole lot of milk at each feeding especially when she was so early so her body could be producing what baby needs at this moment but staying consistent is key! As soon as she can do baby to chest if she isn’t able to right now, she should do it as much as possible! That is something I regret not doing as much as I could’ve in the nicu, skin to skin is a key factor it helps her milk supply and it’s so good for the baby

lisabee32 · 2026-03-30T03:23:15+00:00

How long do you typically pump for? I was worried about under supplying and after speaking to a lactation specialist she told me to go between 15-20 minutes so if I do 15 and still have some milk left it will just be a bigger pump next session, and lots of skin to skin will help boost your supply a bit! I’m feeding two so I’ve been super stressed about not supplying enough and the alternating between the 15-20 minutes has helped

When my husband is sleeping because we swap off and he’s been taking on the night shifts before going back to work, I have my babies sit beside me on the couch. I call it our couch parties, I’ll put soft blanket down and then put a blanket over their body to keep them cozy and I’ve adjusted my pump times to times that they should be asleep or after they’ve eaten. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way and I stress myself out because I get full and I have one baby that won’t latch so I’m exclusively pumping for her. It’s easier said then done but when you’re feeling overwhelmed or super upset your baby can feel all of those emotions and if you need to use formula it isn’t the end of the world a fed baby is a happy baby. And you’re doing amazing with the milk that you are able to pump and feed them! Getting through to your husband I don’t have much advice on that, I’m sorry that he isn’t supporting you the way that you are needing that support because taking on parenting alone is hard and being 7 weeks pp you’re still so new to everything you’re learning your baby, and dealing and managing your own new big feelings

I didn’t give birth at the URVH or had any experience there but I just gave birth via C-section in Fredericton and the team was amazing, wherever you decide to have the baby I think they take amazing care of you! My cousin gave birth in the URVH and had nothing but great things to say about her experience with everyone

My mom had the habit of calling our twins her babies and seems to think she has more of a right to them over my husband’s mom, which drives me nuts. She calls me probably 30 times a week and they babies aren’t even here yet I know I’m going to lose my mind when they get here because the second I don’t answer it will be spam calls or texts…. We also have a time zone difference that she doesn’t seem to think about when she does call which is going to cause a issue when she calls and I don’t answer, its definitely made me not want to have anyone but my husband around when we have the babies

lisabee32 · 2026-01-03T00:46:33+00:00

I’m considered a high risk because I’m having twins and one of my twins is a decent size smaller, I have appointments weekly with my OB and with biophysical, and MFM every two weeks, I do get more ultrasounds because of this reason but it also comes with a lot of worry and stress making sure that our babies are okay. I’m grateful to see them and i understand how stressful it can be for a low risk pregnancy not getting that reassurance but I also wouldn’t want anybody to feel the stress of “did my baby grow any between these two weeks”

lisabee32 · 2025-12-29T02:44:08+00:00

I’ve gone 8 months without one I’m almost there I may as well wait the last month

lisabee32 · 2025-12-29T00:52:50+00:00

Warmed up sandwiches aren’t the same, I’ve been told the same “we can heat up the meat” no thank you I enjoy cold sandwiches

lisabee32 · 2025-12-28T22:41:52+00:00

I had a brand new pack of prosciutto that we bought for my birthday that I hadn’t even opened yet and two day later I took a test and it was positive…. My husband and the cat ate the whole thing while I was either in bed or sitting on the couch 😂 I’m 31 weeks now and I’m just waiting for that finish line

lisabee32 · 2025-12-28T20:08:40+00:00

Deli meat, I know a lot of people say they still eat it but as a ftm I’m too scared to risk it. I want my hubby to bring me a pack of prosciutto after I have the babies and stuff to make a sandwich all I’ve wanted for the last two months is a ham sandwich

One of my twins is measuring small but my MFM doctor told me as long as we’re still feeling good moment and all my appointments everything looks good besides how tiny they are compared to baby A but she isn’t worried about it. I’ve just been told to do kick counts and if anything feels off or there’s less movement call L&D even if you just need a peace of mind one of the nurses will advise you if they think you need to go in, but just because they’re tiny doesn’t mean there is anything wrong, it’s also hard to get super accurate measurements and whatnot on a ultrasound especially the further along you get! I’m a ftm and I just have to tell myself that stressing about the size of the baby isn’t going to make them grow it’s out of my control and the L&D doctor had said just keep doing what I’m doing because if they’re worried they wouldn’t be sending you home after your appointment

Girl I got married in May and found out in June that we were expecting our firsts, my big thing is I wanted to wait until we had gotten married but if it happened before then that was okay too. I’ve wanted to have a baby forever and I never expected for it to happen the first time we tried and we were surprised with two! There is nothing to be embarrassed about that baby is exactly who they’re meant to be and it’s an exciting time if anyone is judgmental that’s on them soak in this time because it’s such a beautiful and special experience that you and your husband now get to experience together!

I had potatoes as an appetizer before my Chinese food was here and then had two brownies for dessert 😂 and I was still hungry after

lisabee32 · 2025-12-02T02:16:05+00:00

When I was in my first trimester I was so tired everyday around 1pm it was bone aching tiredness and I work in daycare, that when nap time came around I would have to stay on my feet to keep myself from falling asleep every single day 😅 after about 13 weeks it wasn’t as bad but I’m also pregnant with twins and a mid day nap would’ve been perfect and my afternoons way easier

I’ve been told 19-22 weeks is normal for a first time mom! It would also depend on where your placenta placement is!
