advice needed

So we have the graco 4-in-1 and the mattress pad it came with is exactly that, a pad, not really a mattress. Like the pad you get in elementary school for nap time, but bassinet size lol. When my baby starts to roll, should I switch to an actual mattress from graco? The pad isn’t breathable so...

Hey there, My wife is 34 weeks pregnant with Di/Di boys last Thursday we were sent to L&D triage to address high blood pressure (140s/90s). After labs we found that her urine marker for preeclampsia was just over the 0.30 reference range at 0.34. Today we went in for a growth scan and twin A...

My LMP was 10/16 and I conceived 11/3 (CD 19). I'm supposed to be 7weeks 3 days. Baby only measured 6w 4days, but HR was 128. I'm really confused and feeling a little concerned. I go back in 2 weeks for a second ultrasound (they said so they can get a better idea of the due date). Any thoughts?

My twin girls are currently 5 weeks old and I’m dreading the day my husband goes back to work (they will be 11 weeks then). I get so nervous to be alone with them right now. I have a lot of anxiety and seem to get overwhelmed easily. The best I can do is a tandem feed in the twin z during the...

EDIT — thanks to everyone for sharing their stories and advice! I made a decision to put the phone down and walk away yesterday, once I realized I had been glued to reddit and google for over 5 hours 🥴. Limbo sucks but I am looking forward to seeing what a doctor says. ❤️❤️❤️ Hi everyone —...

…and they want to raise the price of daycare from $325 per girl per week to $480. Almost $1000 a week! Has this ever happened to you? What would you do in this situation? Are these prices reasonable? The daycare workers insist that the girls are a delight, but I can’t help but feel that my...

Basically just looking for reassurance or advice. I tested positive on a FRER ~9:30pm on Tuesday night, probably 10DPO. By complete chance, I had a doctor's appointment scheduled the next morning at 8:30am and when I told my PCP the news, he kindly offered a blood draw to test my betas (and...

So, I got frisky tonight and (somehow) forgot that I am 16 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I decided I would bellyflop onto the bed. So I did. And now I'm freaking out. What the fuck was I thinking?! Ugh... I'm seriously stupid sometimes.

Next pediatrician visit isn’t until 5/4. Last visit she pointed out a flat spot and I mentioned baby had a very obvious favor for turning her head one way. I hold baby other direction, we do tummy time every wake window for 15-20 minutes. What I’m searching for is a pillow or device that holds...

We’re outgrowing our pack n plays. (16 months, swiftly approaching 30 lbs.) What’s next?… It’s too late to buy proper cribs. But they don’t know how to sleep in floor beds; they’d go wild. I am thinking maybe we invest in twin beds with guard rails from Amazon that go the whole way...

I am currently pregnant with triplets, due in May but I’m expecting them in March-ish (that would be 30 weeks which is my goal). I also have 3 other kids (3, 20m, 20m). For some unexpected reasons my cousins children (11,M and 6,F) need a place to stay for an indefinite period of time. And...

Our twins have arrived at 33+3, one day ahead of when their big brother arrived. We used the Nanit baby monitor for our singleton. We were thinking we would buy a second Nanit and use those for the twins. We are in the U.K. and the advice here is to co-bed twins so that is what we intend to do...

. Our boys just turned 4 and yeah..... now they insist on.... if it was yes before now it's... we used to be able to....... they push all of our.... i cant even explain.... things that were easy are now.....if its dangerous they are attracted to..... feeding is.....yeah. Fuck.

I currently have a Buick encore and I use the baby trend snap and go stroller. Even with that stroller, I have to shove it on top of the seats to fit which then limits the rest of my trunk space. I was looking at the baby trend sit n stand double stroller but wasn’t sure. My twins are currently...

My 4 month old will not sleep by himself, every-time we lay him in his own bed he starts kicking and wiggling free of being swaddled, rubs his eyes and starts to cry. The only way we have successfully been able to get him to sleep for long stretches of time is when he sleeps with us and we wake...

I had 5 follicles 2 days before my IUI appt 18.8, 18.5, 18.8, 16.7, 14.1 with taking fertility medication and a trigger shot 36 hours before today. Just wanted advice if anybody else went through the same process and if so what was there follicle count? What are your thoughts? Update: 7w appt...

Have any twin parents had success with Taking Cara Babies' SITBACK sleep training method? Our boys are getting closer to ready for sleep training. One already puts himself to sleep well after a calming routine, but the other gets anxious any time he's put down not fully asleep. When he cries...

I’ll try to keep the details to only what is relevant, as this account is obviously a throwaway, and I want to remain anonymous-ish. Also, I don’t want to write a novel — I have ADHD and know that a wall of text rarely gets read. My partner and I have suffered multiple pregnancy losses over...

I am about 27 weeks with di/di twins. I failed my 1 hour glucose test today. I go in tomorrow for my three hour. I’m sure I’m going to fail. Yesterday was my baby shower and after I ate, my heart started beating really fast, I got a headache, and I got very thirsty. It was pretty scary but I...

So…babies are 7 months (5.5 adj) we’re slowly starting to try food. We have tile but I’m hoping I can get some pro tips from y’all on how to wrangle the mess most efficiently. Realizing I’m going to be doing this multiple times a day coming up crushes me.
