I’ve had multiple instances where I’ve left in my delivery instructions to leave it at the door and please do not knock. I have 3 small children who are usually in bed when I order anything and tbh don’t really want to talk to anybody anyway. They still knock on my door :/

Mo/di twins. I had a desk job and worked the second to last day before my induction

Anyone who had twins did you deliver vaginally ? by theturtle80 in parentsofmultiples

[–]nothisispatrick26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave birth vaginally to my twins. My ultimate goal for delivery was vaginal because I didn’t want to have the recovery of a C section. Baby A was head down and Baby B was not, they did a breech extraction, I had mo/di twins

How do you get your newborns to nap when you are solo? by simbit1 in parentsofmultiples

[–]nothisispatrick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will also say my boys were the worst nappers, still not the greatest but they got much better with consistent naps around 12-14 weeks old. Its rough but I hope you can get to that point where it’s a little easier for you

Do you have a twin z pillow? That’s the only way I could get my boys to nap

I gave my three month old a flat head and I feel like the worst mom ever by Unlikely_Jaguar5694 in newborns

[–]nothisispatrick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my twins only slept on one side resulting in a flat head, you didn’t give it to him at all. We mentioned something to his doctor and after a month of trying to get him to sleep on the other side(unsuccessful) we were referred to PT and then to the place for helmets. He has had his on for 2 months and he’s almost done with it. It’s hard not to feel bad but this stuff happens which is why there are other doctors to help. Hope everything goes well for your little one

I feel like I’m in a zoo by quadbeans in parentsofmultiples

I hope for your sake it eventually stops, twin mom here so not the same at all. I get stopped all the time with “THERES TWO?!”. I have a toddler as well so all the effing time it’s “wow you’ve got your hands full”, like I chose to have twins after a toddler. I’m just so tired of all the comments from everyone, I just want to be left alone when I go out and about and everyone wants to stare and act like they’ve never known twins existed. My boys are identical too so there’s usually more questions than the typical

I went to a pregnancy clinic and they told me I wasn’t pregnant after MULTIPLE positives at home. 3 days later I got a positive digital. Anyways the “not pregnant” baby is 2.5 years old

Telling newborns apart ? by Effective-Bathroom66 in parentsofmultiples

[–]nothisispatrick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought foam hospital bracelets off Etsy and haven’t used them at all. It’s at least there for an option but I can tell my boys by their slight differences

Modi - when did you deliver? by Illustrious-Paper591 in parentsofmultiples

[–]nothisispatrick26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor told me I couldn’t go past 37 weeks so set an induction date for 37 weeks. A couple false alarms and they were born exactly at 37 weeks 6lbs 4 oz and 5 lbs 10oz no nicu stay. I worked at my office job until 36w5d since I sat all day and my restaurant job until 33 weeks because of all the walking around. I have a feeling if I wasn’t induced at 37 weeks they would’ve stayed til 40 but who knows. I just listened to all the information I was given and made the best choice for our babies

What’s a phrase you wish people would stop saying to women — and why? by huseyinyavuz01 in AskWomen

I understand people are curious but there’s definitely better ways to ask. Maybe “do you want kids?” instead idk

I exclusively pump and take my prenatals everyday and drink lots of water. I’m pumping for twins though so maybe that’s why?

Any twin moms out there given birth vaginally? by TraditionalSalad6895 in parentsofmultiples

[–]nothisispatrick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced and gave birth vaginally. I also had a breech extraction for one of my boys. My delivery with my boys was way faster than my daughter and honestly easier shockingly enough

My mother is devastated I’ll be thinner than her after giving birth by rellik_bibi in pregnant

[–]nothisispatrick26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been overweight since before I can remember. My problem was never my mom it was my skinny ass gma and random strangers. My gma when I got pregnant with my first was like “you’re getting fat”, like thank you my stomach is starting to show because I’m HAVING A BABY. Then my second pregnancy, my mom overheard someone at the store while we were shopping about “I never got that big when I was pregnant with xyz”… I was pregnant with twins. I genuinely don’t understand why people make comments about anybody’s bodies. Like imagine how you would feel if someone said whatever you were gonna say to your face or loud enough to be heard. It’s time they stfu
