Mine are DCDA so we are scheduled to be scanned every 4 weeks after 12 weeks. My midwife said if they're head down then a vaginal delivery is better as recovery is quicker, but consultant recommends an elective c-section as often second baby gets stuck and then it ends in an emergency c-section. So we're thinking c-section is probably better to avoid any emergency situations hopefully. We;re thinking the same as you!!
Also recommend this, it’s what they give you after you’ve had your baby too to help that first poop scenario and also major constipation due to childbirth in generalFor anyone wanting a good laxative ….try this. You can get it at the pharmacy and it’s safe for pregnant women. It works a dream. Nothing else helped me apart from this.
Now I’m 36 weeks and even on iron tablets I’m having the opposite problem🫣
That is good to know! I need all the TMI, hahaha.I take them as the iron makes me constipated but they don’t give me what I imagined- it just makes my stools ‘softer’ so it comes out easier(?) Not like the runs haha. Sorry if TMI but the thought scared me at first too as I didn’t want to have to be dashing to the loo at inconvenient times but it really isn’t like that for me!
Yes! The boy is absolutely plonked on my bladder, the second I stand up or walk I feel like I need to pee. Even when I’m standing up from the bloody toilet! The physio told me about how to move myself about in case I was struggling to fully empty my bladder but it’s more my son’s position than anything else.I’ve been trying to up my water as I’m so thirsty and definitely getting constipated but I’m not loving having to pee every 45 minutes
I didn’t get any with my first.If it makes you feel any better I had some pretty “bad” ones at the bottom of my bump which have now pretty much gone away, I’m 9 months pp and have done nothing to try and get rid of them. Think it’s just the skin shrinking back up. Hilariously I thought I’d gotten away without getting any but realised that actually my bump was just so massive I couldn’t see the underside of itLittle muff is so low (although is able to kick me simultaneously in my mole and top of the uterus so god knows what position they are in - feels very low the last few days. I’ve also developed some mildly angry stretch marks on the bottom of my tummy. I’m not fussed about them now but will probs be devastated post partum!
was having toast and running a bath by about half 4. The drive to work was painful as was my ability to function cognitively so I stayed an extra 45 minutes just to be able to get tit done. I’m working from home tomorrow I had this really bad a few weeks ago! I find sleeping with a pillow or cushion between my legs at night really helps. It’s barely noticeable pain wise nowRound ligament pain is kicking my a today, feels like the bum muscle pain after you go on a bike ride for the first time in ages but round the front
Yes this is exactly what I heard - I can’t imagine having to recover from both a c-section and vaginal delivery!Mine are DCDA so we are scheduled to be scanned every 4 weeks after 12 weeks. My midwife said if they're head down then a vaginal delivery is better as recovery is quicker, but consultant recommends an elective c-section as often second baby gets stuck and then it ends in an emergency c-section. So we're thinking c-section is probably better to avoid any emergency situations hopefully. We;re thinking the same as you!!
Have you picked a pram?!! There's not too much choice for twins and what there is.. my god it's expensive!! Then I keep thinking about 2 car seats, 2 isofix bases.
We're looking at cancelling our Disney trip at the end of the year as I'll be around 29 weeks and I already have to catch 2 flights to get to Paris as it is. Disney is the easy bit to cancel, but Easyjet are proving to be a pain!
I definitely had them early-ish and I definitely wouldn’t worry, mention to the consultant and go to triage if you can’t wait til then 🩷
Could it just be that you’re carrying baby lower this time and it’s just moving around and balling up? I get a tightening and a bulge almost daily - lasts for a bit and then baby moves again. I’ve always just assumed it was little muff just moving rather than Braxton hicks. I asked dr google:
Is your Moses basket mattress an oval shape or a rectangle?
It’s an oval one
Basically it does go underneath the mattress.. like covers it almost totally underneath too, like this..It’s an oval one
Ohh that’s a relief!
