***April Sweet Peas 2011*** join here (48 babies born)

Great to hear from you kenny, the twins are adorable. How are you coping with feedings etc? hard work isnt it lol xx

Thanks Tash, yours are gorgeous too. OMG it is sooo hard with two babies, just not enough hands to go around is there. I'm bottlefeeding (formula) the twins (Lucy had blood sugar issues at birth - not sure i could have managed breastfeeding anyway!!) and I'm doing all of the night feeds while DH sleeps in the spare room. They are feeding at around 1.30am (4oz) and then again at 5.30am (4oz) and if they both want it at the same time i basically prop them up on pillows and feed them at the same time - the worst part is burping!!

They then take another 4 feeds during the day each of 4oz approx 4 hrs apart, I feed them in the bouncy chairs unless DH is around to help (he generally works from home but is often on calls) - the last two feeds of the day (5.30 ish and 9.30 ish) DH and I do together. Friday night is my night off - DH takes over all night and i get some much needed sleep in the spare room.

Sam now weighs 8lb and Lucy weighs 6lb 7oz so still quite some way to go before we can drop a feed i think. :wacko:

How are you managing with your two - plus you have two toddlers - you must be Supermum!!! What's your feeding schedule looking like?

Mine are formula fed too and are taking about 4oz every 3 hrs. i have to do all the night feeds on my own, i never get a break. My OH is very selfish when it comes to this :-( I usually feed them in their bouncers or the boppy pillows and as you say burping is the hardest part.
Demi is only just 12 months so still depends on me alot and isnt walking yet so it is hard you just cope dont you. Very tired though lol xx
 
Bloody hell! Think it's happening! My waters broke at 12.30am. Had two huge gushes! Only just starting to feel some pains but very bearable at the min. Have to see what happens! Will try & keep you updated. x
 
good luck sazzle

my pelvis is still in agony. saw MW yesterday and as soon as she put her hands on my belly said blimey ur having a big one (thanx just wat i wanted to hear lol) then she told me LO is back to back and she should hopefully turn my OH said and if she dont, the midwife just turned around and said well a very long labour (thanx again) she said that is why i am getting so much bad back spasms. just my bloody luck. i am 4/5 i think is what i can make out from my notes.

hope everyone is ok.
 
Woohoo Sazzle keep us updated. Happy Hayley horrible midwife I had one who said that to me a few weeks ago when I saw my normal midwife she told me that it was rubbish and he would be no bigger than 8lbs.

A small update from me after feeling like poo yesterday, grumpy, sick and exhausted I have had my show this morning (well I like it was a show jelly like substance with spots of blood) so am hoping that this may be the start. Me and DH were laughing this morning as I said maybe he is like his dad and has to be on time for everything.
 
good luck sazzle :)
as for me had a second sweep yesterday and had pains all night which have come to nothing, ive been booked in for induction so will definately have baby by tuesday!
 
Oh good luck Sazzle how exciting!

And baby before maybe you wont be far behind!

Hayley sorry you had a rubbish time with the MW it always amazes me how some people go into the profession of caring without an ounce of empathy for the people they are looking after.

SoI have still had no signs at all, seeing the MW at 11 so gonna ask her to do a sweep, she will probably say no as she is going with the 26th as my EDD but its worth asking! Will let you know later xxxxx
 
Good luck sazzle!!! Hope everything is going well?!

I am still here lol! Absolutely no signs what so ever and I'm 41 weeks today - hope I follow your footsteps sazzle and my waters spectacularly break tomorrow!!
 
I've got a little Rosie butt cuddled in my arms so figured I'd check in. Good luck Sazzle!!

Jen good luck! I hope you go soon!
Same with all of you who have reached (or are just about to) your EDD. DH is such a blanket hog!

Atm Rosie is going through all the emotions on her face- I LOVE it! She also laughs full blown in her sleep sometimes. I'm in love! :D
 
Well I did it! Rex Charlie was born at 41+1 at 7.41am weighing a whopping 9lb 1.5oz! Will update with pics & birth story when I'm home & not on my phone!

Hope it gives all the overdue girlies some hope! x

good luck sazzle

hayley, my LO was born back to back, though not recognised until his head popped out! my labour was long but totally manageable for the most part, things didn't really hot up until the last 4-5hours! good luck hun, you can do it xxx
 
Congratulations SazzleR, looking forward to seeing the photos! x
