@balancedworld I definitely get the constant feeling of being overwhelmed and I occasionally get the feeling of thinking things would be easier if I just had one. But then I try to REALLY think about it. Having only one would mean I would only have one….. I can’t actually imagine not having...

@ntlfr8 C section at 36 weeks. Both of my babies were head down 3 days before my water broke…..so planning on a vaginal birth…..got to the hospital and Baby B had flipped. Doctor made the choice for a c section and an hour later I was in the OR. I had complications with my c section…..nothing...

@shaz7 Not that I ever figured out. Once they got strong enough to hold their own heads, I could hold both at once. But before then, it’s pretty hard to get ahold of two at once time. You can use things like double baby carriers but every time I tried, it took a good 15 mins to get the babies...

@kamleshchristi I have a service come in twice a month for actual cleaning. My sister helps me with organizing things (swapping out clothing sizes and getting all the toys organized) every month or so for half a day to keep everything from being a disaster all the time.

@debbie351 It didn’t 😂😂😂😂 This is what came of just what I could do postpartum with two babies. They napped on the Twin Z bc they spent 90% of their daytime on it, so in the early days they would just drift off to sleep on it at random intervals. The unofficial sleep training at night is...

@taliporos For naps, they slept on the twin z for the first 10 weeks. By then they had a pretty good track record of going to sleep on their own in their bassinets. I’m a single mom, so rocking them to sleep was literally impossible. I would swaddle both babies one by one and put them in a side...

@komdiarect I wasn’t given a choice 😂 I desperately wanted a vaginal birth and was kinda of put out when my doctor said she wasn’t comfortable with Baby Bs position and insisted on a c section. I had a less than ideal surgery and recovery BUT turns out Baby A (who we weren’t concerned about at...

@grace92 6+5 is pretty early still…..I don’t think my nausea kicked in until around 9 weeks and then it lasted until 15/16 weeks. But regardless symptoms aren’t telling……different pregnancies can make you feel different.

@theophilac20 Sharing a crib is not recommended in the US and in most other countries only considered safe until they start being able to move (which isn’t much time…..around 3-4 months and they can usually move enough to make this dangerous).

@lishanaidoo I worked from my couch from like 26 weeks on. I would half recline and have the laptop on the arm.

@lisajcoleman1 So I had almost the same thing happen to me and I was very upset……..however one of the nurses said something that really rings true. You don’t want to do anything that the doctor isn’t comfortable doing. Yes, maybe a different doctor WOULD be comfortable but unless you can find...

@chuckm Look I did this……I was at the end of my rope and transferred two embryos and both stuck. While I don’t regret it, but it turned out reasonably well in my case in terms of long term health complications for me and for the babies. A twin pregnancy is a LOT more risky!!!!! It’s far more...

@cinder7 It’s rare for twins to be that big…….buuuut…. my doctor wouldn’t schedule an induction/c section before 38 weeks. I believe 38 weeks is the normal medical timeframe for a scheduled c section. I do also know one twin mama that did insist on a natural delivery and went to 40 weeks but...

@rrruff The first 12 weeks were unbelievably hard………but NOTHING as bad as the last 12 weeks of pregnancy. I had c section complications and was on a LOT of pain. My core was like jello and I couldn’t sit up without rolling to the side for honestly probably 5 months. STILL soooo much easier than...

@mndad2 I have 1 year olds and man…..I’m not going to lie, I think they are MUCH harder to handle now than when they were newborns. They seem very determined to spend every minute of every day TRYING to hurt themselves!!! But that’s ok…..as you said….it’s a stage. I don’t like this stage...

@zeezee The most they ever let me have was 2 follicles for IUI. There’s a really good chance you have 4-5 mature follicles (depends on the individual but a 14 mm follicle can definitely produce a mature egg). That’s very risky in almost all circumstances. I’m sure there are some medical...

@mrsstylz My twins are only 9 months, but one of my friends singleton didn’t cut her first tooth until around 15 months. As far as I know, her doctor said it could be normal to go up to 18 months before getting the first tooth.
