    What’s worse.. c section recovery or being pregnant with twins?

    @toniboykin84 2-3 weeks of progressively feeling better plus baby-fueled euphoria vs being slowly crushed to death Lol I mean, both sucked but c sec itself wasn’t bad. I had preeclampsia postpartum though and that caused debilitating headaches— that part was rough.

    Pregnant with twins and devastated

    @coolguy123 Honestly had similar feels. It turned out to be the most rewarding challenge of my life to “figure it out.” Kicking and screaming. But I did it lol. Still doing it. I’m a better human bc of it and so will you be!

    Older sibling sleep issues with new twins

    @yerin Oh here’s the answer to my question! I think he is just sensing the change. We actually set up the bassinets in our bedroom and he’s been less anxious since then. Seeing a concrete, tangible evidence of where babies will sleep somehow helped him feel better maybe. He had been asking if...

    Older sibling sleep issues with new twins

    @yerin I definitely don’t want to increase his anxiety. Hows your eldest handling twin siblings? Is it affecting his/her sleep?

    @angie28 I’m thinking baby gate may be best option but the timing feels off. Like if we start using it this weekend, and on May 11 I have my c sec and gma watches him, how will that effect things? Baby gate may need to wait until we’re all home again at this point...

    Older sibling sleep issues with new twins

    @pepey05 I feel like you and me have a very similar kiddo. He’s very good at boundary pushing if we waver at all, and I personally really find he thrives best when we keep routine and no negotiations. We have been getting him used to the nursery and reading him books about baby siblings and...

    Older sibling sleep issues with new twins

    @osacar1 You think the rhythm and sleep routine of a 3 yo can be picked back up in 2-4 months when we get twins more routine oriented? He’s never had any other sleeping arrangement (never co-slept or needed is to sleep with him in his room) so my worry is that he’ll use it as a sleep aid and...

    Older sibling sleep issues with new twins

    We’re due in 2 weeks with twins and my 3 yo son is just not sleeping well. He has his own room, a toddler bed, we have done the same routine with age appropriate adjustments since a baby. We start at 7:30, do PJs, brush his teeth, and he reads 2 books and sings some songs and lays down, lights...
