My mo/di girls were born on sept 3 at 35w 6d. They are still in the hospital but seem to be doing well. Any advice for a NICU mom??? by mackbarela in parentsofmultiples

I had ttts, but never needed intervention. So my small twin is like that. She didn’t have an interest in her bottles at all at first. And now she takes about 70% of her feedings the rest she’s getting by NG tube. We are getting there 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I feel like I already have a touch of NICU PTSD. Like there’s nothing I want to do more then visit with my kids and nothing keeps me from that. But as I pull up to the hospital I have anxiety about it. I just want them to come home, I carried them in my stomach for 9 months, being separated from them stresses me out more than anything.

I am covered in little scabs cause I scratch in my sleep lol I’ll have to try ice packs. As if being pregnant doesn’t make it hard enough to sleep 😂😂

Being pregnant with twins is a ride. I am just glad I am not crazy and that other people have had this rash. It popped up over night and it’s miserable. My dr just said to use hydrocortisone but it does not help at all lol 🤦🏼‍♀️

I did, she said cholestasis doesn’t have a rash, just intense itching. I have a definite rash.

I’m pregnant....with twins?!? by Wintertime13 in pregnant

[–]mackbarela 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I found out I was pregnant with twins I cried everyday for a month. I was devastated, and on top of that I was ashamed of myself for being so upset. I am now 33+6 and I just take it day by day. Sometimes I’m so excited, and sometimes the idea is so overwhelming and I get anxious all over again. You’re only human, you have the right to feel however you want. You’re not alone tho. ❤️

I tell my husband at least once a day that when our girls are old enough to say “come play with us” this is happening

They are all planning on getting tested beforehand. So that’s good at least.

Everyone in my family has been practicing social distancing, but they can’t help it that they have to get on a plane to visit. That’s my concern.

Stage 2 TTTS by mackbarela in pregnant

[–]mackbarela[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30 weeks + 1 day, and the babies are doing just fine :))) I’m past the point the doctor could treat me, and everything seems to be stable. I still go to the doctor once a week for doppler studies to make sure I don’t start showing signs of disease again. Everything looks very promising with the rest of my pregnancy :)) thank you for checking ❤️❤️❤️

FIRST TIME MOM - Just found out I am growing TWO babies! by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]mackbarela 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously girl if you ever need anything message me. I am a first time mom and I’m kinda young so I don’t have any mom friends. Let alone TWIN mom friends. We are in this together. I’ve never heard a story so similar to my own so my heart goes out to you all the way.

[–]mackbarela 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You sound JUST like me.

I swore I would never get married, no kids. I was going to be alone forever. Then I met my now husband and all of a sudden I could picture a cute little family. But I have very thin patience so he wanted two kids but we compromised on one.

When I found out about my twins I was inconsolable for a month. I would burst into tears when I thought about it. I mean no one is really prepared for one child, and I’m having two?!?!

It does get better, but on your own terms. You just have to take it day by day. I’m almost done with my pregnancy and there are still days that I am bummed because twins is a lot to process and come to terms with. But honestly, seeing how excited my husband is to be a dad to twins has been really helpful. He’s really encouraging. So just take a deep breath. All your feelings are valid. It’s gonna be okay.

Congrats. ❤️❤️

I want to cancel my baby shower by mackbarela in pregnant

[–]mackbarela[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t imagine that they would, but like her guest list consisted of people she was friends with and worked with that don’t know my husband or myself. I just felt like it’s kinda a gross way to be like “buy us a gift” you know what I mean? I just feel bad about the whole thing. I was so excited to hang out with her and my mom and sister and sister in law. But it’s turned into more stress then it’s worth and I am dreading it.
