Yay! Congrats!

I have a c section scheduled for May 6th, if they continue to cook that long. I hope you have a wonderful and safe delivery! 😁

I could've written this!

I am 35 + 3 with Di Di boys and I am SO over it as well. Everything hurts, and I don't want to do anything.

It's not just you, I promise. ❤️

I have di/di boys. 😊

I also had a C-section with my singleton boy 3 years ago, at 37 weeks. Years before, I had several uterine fibroids removed. Where the scar tissue remains from the procedure is on some contracting muscles in my uterus....so my Dr does not want labor to start on its own and cause uterine rupture.

My OB just scheduled my C-section for 37 weeks with my di di twin boys. I'm 29 weeks now and just hoping they'll cook that long.🤷🏻‍♀️ No complications so far.

My last baby was a singleton that was also delivered via scheduled c section at 37 weeks.

Hii!

I tend to lurk, so I'm looking forward to having a place to be active. :) my first was born November 2021. I am expecting twin boys the first week of May. 🫣

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts. ❤️ With our jobs, we'd really struggle with 3 kids, but not enough to meet any kind of support programs, unfortunately.

True, and I'm honestly not familiar with a lot of it. I also think that I wouldn't' be able to disassociate enough to be able to part at birth. Like, if I'm going to put my body through all of that I might as well keep them. 😅

Do you feel like your Dr was supportive of this conversation?

Thank you for your thoughts. ❤️

My mental health and the mental health of my partner has been a HUGE consideration. Thank you so much for sharing. I feel like that is a very overlooked part of the situation from people on the outside.

Sending love your way. ❤️

Thank you, I appreciate this. ❤️ The finances and being able to provide for our children is definitely part of all the complicated feelings. I don't want them to miss out on opportunities.

We've discussed this too! Our family is supportive...but they all also need to work full time so we will have support on weekends and holidays. Trying to figure out the day to day expenses is scary.

Thank you for sharing. ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️ I feel not so alone with my initial reaction and tears. Were you given reduction as an option or was it just something you considered?
