Yes, waiting! Thinking of you and your little boy.

Hi Blue, how are you feeling?

 

[Blue12]

I'm so uncomfortable Mel's lol.

I'm just plugging away at getting things ready for babies. Lol

Mel's you are so close. Are you planning on bfeeding or formula or combination?

I understand being uncomfortable. I can't be in any one position for very long, making sleeping very difficult right now. Just remind myself everyday is a day closer and a day better for the babies to keep cooking.
I plan to bf as much as possible, but my realistic side says I may have to supplement with formula. I went to a bfing class and the lactation consultant told me she has several twin moms that exclusively bf...so I'm hopeful.

Too bad you, Brandy and I didn't live closer...we could have a triple twin girl play date!

 

[Blue12]

That would be so fun to be closer. Especially with the girls all being around the same age. I hope to bfeed too but am sure that I will have to do some formula if people help me at nights and if my supply isn't enough.

 

[~Brandy~]

Mells and Blue... I am in full on panic mode about BF too! Yes, I have 2 previous children but I was so young when I had them and had to work all the time that I made it just a few days with each BF'ing.. I remember thinking how painful it was and switched to formula. I am sure I just wasnt getting a good latch or something. I didn't have the support there for it with a lactation specialist or anything.

This time I am bound and determined to do it but still totally freaked out! I have my pump ready to go and everything. I met with a consultant etc.. But no matter what I do I just dont feel mentally prepared for this.

Brandy, just relax and try your best. I think we all have to do what is best for us and baby.

So I just got back from my appointment. Babies are doing well, but the stress test showed I was having some cramping. They checked my cervix and it is still closed, but I had both protein and blood in my urine. I have to do a 24 hour urine catch, and go back Friday for results. Doc said it could be the start of pre-eclampsia, so I'm officially off work and on modified bed rest.

I'm a little sad/worried about this news, but she thinks I should be able to make it at least another week if not two before delivering. She also said c-section is most likely since baby b doesn't have room to turn at this point.

Let the worry begin!!!

 

[Blue12]

Crazy news Mel's. you have made it so far and babies are almost ready. That would be great if you could get one more week. Do you feel ok though? Rest rest rest!!!


I breast fed my dd. it was hard to start but I really enjoyed it. I just really worry how hard it will be with two. I'm not planning on feeding them together at the same time. I can't manage that

You'll be fine Mells! You made it this far they are almost done cooking. I dont remember what threads I have posted what anymore lol. I just had something similar happen to me last week and ended up in the hospital for 3 days and it all turned out just fine They found blood in my urine as well turns out that it was a kidney infection and I am fine now that I am on antibiotics. Hang in there though I am sure you can buy yourself another week at minimum.

For a vaginal delivery do both of your babies have to be head down or just A? my doctor will attempt if A is down but she doesnt seem to have enough room to turn he said

IM finally home after 11 days in the hospital. Just wanted to send hugs and quick note that my sweet baby is doing so well. I really will write more later

 

[Mells54]

Brandy, I know things will be ok if they are born now. The doc today was just saying that she wants them to stay in as long as possible, like until 39 weeks, which I think is not possible in any twin pregnancy. At this point it is just a bunch of little things that are adding up, but I also read that 35 weeks is average for twins so I think I'm ok.

W8ing, so glad you are home and baby is doing well. Post when you can, we will be here.

A 39W twin pregnancy is almost unheard of for sure! Ya the average twin pregnancy is 35W usually because the babies are out of room to grow and the placenta is 'aged' and begins to slow it's function down. I can't wait to see your LO's pics!


W8- So glad you and the LO are doing well. I bet it's nice for you to be home for a bit even though I am sure you're busy with the NICU as well. Thinking of you and your family

 

[W8ing4ours]

How is everyone? Any babies yet?! Parker is the Nicu champion, exceeding expectations every day, he is 3 lbs today!! . Balancing the Nicu and my toddler at home is really hard and leaving my baby at the hospital every day is the hardest thing I've ever done, but I'm so thankful he is healthy and doing well. Hope everyone is progressing well, looking forward to hearing baby news soon

 

[W8ing4ours]

Mells, your ticker says your twins are two weeks old!! Eek!! Congratulations!!!

 

[Mells54]

Hi W8ing, so glad to hear about Parker. Sounds like he is progressing well. Yes Kaitlyn and Jocelyn arrived on. Valentines Day via emergency csection bc my pre eclampsia progressed to full eclampsia very quickly. We spent some extra days in the hospital but no NICU time needed. Doing well now!
