twin mamas to be when are you due and what/who are you having?

[jury3]

Just curious Pink Peony and Jury, why have you had c-sections booked?

My baby A is head down right now, I am hoping she stays that way. She is reallllly head down though, I've had to roll my underwear down (like not even covering half of what it should) and wear pants high on my bump or way low down too, because otherwise it feels like the waistband is right on her head. She is head butting my cervix all day long and feels like she's about to fall out!

Baby A was breech at our 31 week scan. So, we went ahead and booked the c-section incase she doesn't flip. Although at my apt yesterday my doc said she was wondering if they were both head down. I'm not sure what made her say that, she had used the doppler and checked my cervix. I have a scan the 24th, so we'll see then. I hope she's head down bc I really want a vaginal delivery.
Lol My baby A has been pretty low this whole time too, although she has been feet down...which means I get kicked in the cervix a lot lol My underwear roll down when I put them on. It's funny bc they fit perfect in the butt and then they are all poofy and bunched in the front. I wear my pants below the belly usually, so they are all baggy too. However, my belly is starting to hang out the bottom of my shirts so I have to wear the pants higher or wear my belly band when people can see me!

Good luck tomorrow Blue!!!

Had an ultrasound yesterday and babies look great! They are 2lb 10oz and 2lb 13oz! Cervix was closed and blood pressure normal. Doctor said baby A was vertex and we're hoping he'll stay that way. I'm hoping for a vaginal delivery if possible.

How's everyone sleeping at night?? I sleep well, but when I try to turn around two or three times a night, it's a killer! My hips/pelvic area are so achy!! Usually get up to go to the bathroom once or twice, so not too bad.

Sleeping is the worst! My entire belly feels sore and every time I try to roll over it feels like my pubic bone might break in half. It takes me a while to get going in the morning bc I feel like I have to stretch and wake everything up lol I usually limp quite a bit on my way to the restroom.

PinkPeony - how scary!

Yes! I've been a mess about it believe me. It really only sunk that I am really going to have 2 babies when I got that booking the other day because I've been so worried about the worst case happening. It's been stressful bc my doctors hadn't been giving me the full story about it, but I obviously had read up online about it. Finally the high risk ob who's actually the one that gets the final say on how I deliver confirmed what I had read. It was such a relief I can't even tell you. Now I just have to make sure I don't go into labour before that. I might put myself on self-imposed bedrest for the final week or so.

Sleeping is rough for me. It's so hard to get comfortable. I make a nest of pillows around me, propping me up in various ways but it's still not good. I'm up from 3-5 times a night to pee and it's like a major effort to hoist myself out of the bed.

 

[Dis3tnd]

Sleeping is hard - my babies are VERY active - and I have a hard time sleeping through it. They finally calm down around 4am, but I have to get up and pee at 6, which makes them start moving again, and then we wake up at 7:30 to start or day.

Looking forward to today being my last day at work so I can start getting naps in!

 

[Stinas]

Sleeping is a pain!! Like Pink said...it is a mission to get in and out of bed.
My twinkies are actually more often during the day....they pretty much sleep when I do. I hope this stays the same when they come out lol

Hi ladies,

Got a question. The last few days I've started to get some major muscle/body aches happening in my hips/bum/upper thighs area. Is this pregnancy related? I figure it could be my body changing and adjusting in preparation of babies but I had no idea it would happen this early on. Or maybe it's nothing to do with the pregnancy haha so in just curious if any of you experienced this early on. I'm 7 weeks. Thanks!

 

[Northernmonke]

I had aches for a long time hun, they come and go. Dont panic. Its normal x

 

[trgirl308]

Unfortunately it sounds pretty normal. Your body is very busy! I had a lot of pain my first pregnancy, this time around I guess my body doesn't have as much to do... the joy of having pregnancies close together!

Had my girls by Scheduled csection (I definitely prefer the vaginal birth I had with my daughter).

On right baby A - Maddie Isabella - 8:30am
On left baby B - Paige Mackenzie - 8:32

Love them to the moon!!!! I've been very lucky to breastfeed both babies at the same time. And they have been incredible at latching and eating. I never thought I could fee them at the same time

 

[~Brandy~]

They are beautiful Blue!!! What did they weigh?

I was shocked that I was able to tandem feed as well.

 

[Blue12]

They weighed 6lbs 15oz. And 6lbs 1oz. Pretty good weights.

And my dd is absolutely in love with them. She has been visiting the hospital 3 times a day and its all she talks about in between. She loves holding them, singing to them and kissing them.

 

[trgirl308]

That is so great, congrats! They are beautiful. Glad you were both able to tandem, I hope it works as well for me.

 

[mwb2040]

Congrats Blue!!! Those are great weights!! And so good to hear you ladies are able to tandem feed. I'm really hoping to do that, but I bet it's not easy! Enjoy your little princesses! When will you/they be able to leave the hospital?

 

[PinkPeony]

So sweet Blue!!!!!! Congratulations!!!

 

[Stinas]

Blue - congrats!!! Pretty princesses!!

 

[jury3]

Congrats Blue! They are beautiful! That's awesome about the tandem feeding too!
I am loving all these babies...making me excited for mine to get here!
