    Does anyone still use this table for 2 or twin z after the first 6 months??

    @ktb I never used mine for feeding. It was a safe place to set them while (monitored of course) and now they just sit on the ground in it and use it as a backboard

    Tell me your stories of your 28-30 weekers

    @kimhimmel 31 weeks. 2 pounds 9 ounces. We were on CPAP and then had to get bumped up to nasal IVM (a me step down from Intubation). He had a lot of fluid build up so he was on diuretics for a while. Eventually he made is way down to a nasal cannula. He had a surgery while in the nicu for an...

    Can I/should I ask NICU not to give my baby formula if we have enough EBM?

    @imchad You can absolutely mix them together. My husband chooses to when he makes bottles. I don’t. I feel like if it was me I would rather enjoy one delicious meal and one iffy one rather than mash them together lol. In the end it doesn’t really matter, they eat both just fine and are always...

    Can I/should I ask NICU not to give my baby formula if we have enough EBM?

    @imchad I think it was developmental for sure. They were so tiny that even purely breast milk days caused reflux. There was also just no way to guarantee no air gets in with the feeding. For one of my twins specifically, his feeds had to be given over a much longer amount of time or he would...

    Can I/should I ask NICU not to give my baby formula if we have enough EBM?

    @imchad My babies had reflux until they were about 35 weeks gestation. My breast milk was being fortified. Now they hardly ever vomit. Usually just a one off random thing. Maybe your babies are just tiny still?

    SIUGR baby

    @usesoap4life Hi there! I continued to have umbilical cord flow issues that was variable. Sometimes it was pretty bad, sometimes it was only kinda bad. The last couple weeks of my pregnancy I was going to the MFM 4 days a week for NST’s. Baby B was still extremely small and I had an anterior...

    I’m 8 weeks pregnant with twins and have a 10 week old baby

    @asdgho The sheer terror of the possibility of getting pregnant so quickly would have deterred me I think. I was soooo fucked up physically and emotionally (c section, nicu babies, then gallbladder removal 6 weeks post partum) though so it wasn’t even on my radar.

    @raaven They are Modi. I’m just struggling with so many feelings. If I go through with the RFA I feel like I’m murdering my kid. If I don’t do it I’m knowingly putting a perfectly healthy baby at risk. It’s an impossible choice. I’m seeing a neonatologist and another MFM at the local...

    I’m 8 weeks pregnant with twins and have a 10 week old baby

    @agape49 I’m almost an Irish twin. My brother is 13 month younger. It got really hard when we hit middle school because our friend groups were mashing together too much and we were on all the same sports teams and it just felt like we could grow on our own. We fought like crazy. We loved each...

    I’m 8 weeks pregnant with twins and have a 10 week old baby

    @agape49 Be honest…did you have 5 seconds of horror when you found out you were pregnant again? I would have died I think. Happy would have come later hahaha

    Very very mild symptoms at 6+5 with di/di twins. Minimal nausea. Concerned

    @grace92 I didn’t have any symptoms other than one night after I ate something the babies apparently did not care for. Threw up like 12 times haha

    @katrina2017 I have been seeing an MFM once a week due to the size discordance and the changes today prompted consultation for the RFA

    @treacle99 They didn’t give me a specific stage. My notes say “S/D Ratio: On occasion the end of diastole, there is a “gap” in diastolic flow.” Then later on “Twin B seen with rare AEDF at the end of diastole, no REDF seen. No TTTS, no TAPS”
