Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 CONGRATS TO YOU on your twins. All you guys are REALLY scaring me!! All these twins of post-WLS patients!! Yikes!! I already have 3, this one was a surprise, and I would just flip out if there turns out to be 2 in here!! LOL Too many twins in my family already. Grandmother (mother's side) had 1 set of twins. Grandmother's sister (father's side) had 1 set of twins. My husband's grandmother (his father's side) is a twin. My husband's grandmother (his mother's side) had 3 sets of twins!! Scary, scary, scary!! (although I've heard his side has NOTHING to do with it --- I have a friend who is married to a twin, they have twins, his twin brother has twins, and he and his twin brother's father is a twin....a little too much for coincidence for me!!) LOL Again....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Mandi in Concord, NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 My boys are identical and were born early at 32 weeks, I lost my water so I had to be induced. They were 4#10 17 1/2 inches long and 3#10 16 1/2 inches long. The smallest one only had to stay in NICU for 13 days for low blood sugar, his brother was out in the regular nursery after spending the night in NICU to be checked over but was released from the hospital in 5 days. They did awesome but did not eat alot at first so I was up alot to feed them. I did get very exhausted because I had NO help from anyone with them and NO SLEEP. I learned to get them on a schedule together so they would sleep at the same time. At first I got up every time one cried and let the other one sleep, then I realized I needed to wake the other up too and feed him too so they would sleep at the same time. I would out their car seats side by side on the coffee table and prop one baby up with his bottle while I held and fed the other and after an ounce of so ( all they could handle at first) I would burp the one I was holding then set him in his seat and pick up the brother and burp him and then hold feed him while he drank his bottle. It wasn't that bad after they got a couple months old and slept a little longer. You will do fine. I had a vaginal birth with them but I was induced with Pitocin and they took awhile coming out so I was begging for a csection by then, lol....Twins are ssoo cool to watch, they will entertain each other, feed each other, kiss each other, bite each other lol, but they always love each other. Mine are in a pile on the floor right now with their sister wrestling like hell and making tons of noise. I am trying to ignore them. Next is bathtime x3, ughhhh!!!! Good Luck, you will do fine and oh yeah, wait to you feel 2 of them moving in there, way too cool, mine were wrestling then and have never stopped HUGS, ROBIN, NY Age- 41 Due Date- #4 July 27th, 2004 OPEN RNY 10-18-02 378/246/170???

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I thought I was being silly for being freaked out by all the twin talk. I have been told by a few people that my HCG levels are real high and I may want them to check for twins. I think NO WAY!! Twins do not run on either side of the family. Well my 2nd cousin has twins, but no one else in the family. I go for my 12 week check up on the 27th and they are going to listen for the heartbeat, I guess we will see then??? Congrats on your big news!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 What a mess! Hope things resolve themselves soon, I would be kicking ass and taking names right about now, and I hope they are too.
