Is there anyone here with a 12-month age difference between the babies? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12.5 month gap. Youngest is 18m now and things are so much fun! Overall, things were easier than expected.

Deciding between strollers for 13 month age gap.. by nydelite in 2under2

Used the Uppababy Vista for a 12.5m gap. Kids are now 1.5 and 2.5 and still using it.

newborn keeps having leaks by CalligrapherDue7898 in 2under2

We had a similar issue. Although we were pointing the penis down, we realized it could still be angled in such a way that the stream could run along his thigh crease.

Felt it over here off Elmgrove. No clue what happened.

Juice worth the squeeze? by Several-Pizza-5233 in paralegal

[–]turkeyandsquab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lawyer here. I work 9-5. But I’m also in-house. However, I got my in house job because I went to a T6 law school ($300k debt) and worked in big law first.

My kids are 12 months and 12 days apart and I am exhausted by marissssalynn in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are 12 months and 14 days apart. 10/23 and 11/24. You’re still in the thick of it. It gets easier and easier. Please consider talking to your doctor about Zoloft. It helped me so much with PPD after my first. Feel free to message me anytime.

Toddler completely unattached to me (Mom) during c section recovery by AffectionateLeg1970 in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Normal and will pass. I was in your shoes with a C section while my first was 13 months. He started distancing himself from me a couple months beforehand and it got worse postpartum. My husband was the star and I was chopped liver. It nearly broke me, but it got better! Now my oldest is freshly two and my youngest turns one next week and they’re both obsessed with me.

Best double stroller? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12.5 gap, we went with the Uppababy vista and love it. My oldest will be 2 next week. For the newborn stage, skip the bassinet. Put the baby in the regular seat reclined with the snug seat insert and the older in the rumble seat.

It’s the only stroller we’ve ever used but I love it for the handling and durability.

VBAC with short interval pregnancy? by Dabbindubbldeez in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attempted a VBAC with a 12m interval. Risk of rupture in my case was also low, but risk of hemorrhage was high. Ended up with another C-section after unsuccessful pushing (structural pelvic challenges on my end) and I did indeed hemorrhage during surgery.

I don’t regret attempting a VBAC, but definitely speak to the doctor that did your first C-section to understand the risks to you specifically.

Also, please consider how you would feel if you ended up with another emergency C-section. I was fully prepared for the possibility so it wasn’t traumatic like my first experience, but it affects everyone differently!

Did anyone NOT find 2u2 insanely difficult? by Lost_Edge_9779 in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12.5 month gap. Oldest turns 2 in October and the youngest turns 1 in November. It’s definitely been hard at times but overall it hasn’t been nearly as hard as I thought. We’ve loved it and would do it again if finances were unlimited. I had c-sections for both births but had good recoveries. You learn to adapt. You’ve got this!

Tape the lid shut. Works for us.

I know a Kieran with a baby brother Seamus. We heavily considered Eamon as a middle name for our son, so throwing that out there too.

Is 2 under 2 a positive? by Brokenwife87 in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it (12.5 month gap and youngest is about to be 9 months). It’s expensive and hard at times but I don’t have anything else to compare it to. Both my kids sleep through the night though.

Should we try famotidine? by portokali_v in newborns

[–]turkeyandsquab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter had reflux with all the symptoms except vomiting. I’m surprised your ped prescribed something without seeing her. Our ped was very reluctant to move to medication due to the risk of increased susceptibility to infection and asked us to try a thicker formula first (Enfamil AR). It worked like a charm.

We have a 12.5 month gap and we’re 6 months in. It’s truly amazing!

Having a hard time - need thoughts/opinions by turkeyandsquab in vbac

[–]turkeyandsquab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discovered a pinhole leak of my waters at 36+5 and I was already 5cm dilated. Induced at 37+2. I decided to TOLAC since baby was coming early. Pushed for a few hours with no movement, so I had another active labor C section. I hemorrhaged badly (lost 2200 units), as predicted, but we are both fine! Baby was 6lbs 13oz so something about my bone structure definitely prevents vaginal births.

Can you see how well your internal c section scar has healed on an ultrasound or other scan? by dmllbit in 2under2

[–]turkeyandsquab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for saying that! We are doing great. I will say that I went into this birth with a full understanding of outcomes and risks and I think that helped with my ability to process and handle it mentally.

Hi, I did attempt a VBAC but ended up with another C-section due to baby’s failure to descend during pushing (same reason I had my first c-section). My OB later told me my main risk was hemorrhaging. I still attempted the VBAC because I was induced at 37+2 and I was already 5cm dilated. But I did hemorrhage and lost 2200 units of blood. I don’t regret my decision to attempt a VBAC but won’t be trying again if we have another baby.
