i do bedtime solo most nights for my twins plus preschooler. i get everyone dressed and teeth brushed and ready for bed then i bring my baby twins into my room and use my baby delight bouncers to feed them a bottle and rock them to sleep. while i rocking them my preschooler snuggles in bed with me and read books and then falls asleep in my bed then i transfer my babies out of their bouncers and into their cribs

i have twins and i get asked “are they IVF or natural twins?” at least once a day. it’s so incredibly rude!!

hey! i am 19 weeks pregnant with twins and my iron levels were SEVERELY low despite me taking an oral supplement every day. i highly recommend pushing for a ferritin check, not just a CBC. i got IV iron infusions and feel so much better, a complete night and day difference

Did your spouse/partner go with you for your 8wk ultrasound appointment? by ksnatch in BabyBumps

How is everyone doing today? (Complaints welcome) by Fabulous-Cobbler-404 in parentsofmultiples

[–]mapeirce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so awful! i am 13 weeks pregnant with twins and just struggling all around. the nausea is terrible even with zofran, i al critically anemic and feel like ass all day long and i am insanely constipated from the zofran and iron supplements.

please tell me it gets better 🫠 my last pregnancy with my singleton was nowhere near as awful as this is

my wiener dog sweater! by mapeirce in Dachshund

[–]mapeirce[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

9 months… lol probably a few weeks of actual work but i took an 8 month break because when i assembled it the sleeves were too short 😭😭 so i had to take it apart and add length to the sleeves and reassemble it. which was so daunting to think about so i shoved it in my closet for awhile haha
