All About My Multiples: Pregnancy & Birth
My twins were my first pregnancy and it was wonderful. I wasn't sick or I hadn't any complications at all. The only problem I had was water retention toward the end and I was induced 3 weeks early because my blood pressure was climbing. Brinnley (Baby A) was 7 lbs. 19 inches and Brianna (Baby B) was 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 19.5 inches. They stayed just a few oz. between them the entire pregnancy. I labored for 12 hours without much progress (but alot of back pain!) and after two epidurals I ended up having a C-section.
My Multiples Are Special Because...
Our twins are special because they make the sun shine brighter, the stars sparkle more and they make our whole world sweeter! They are our first children and are such a blessing. I love every teeny tiny bit of them from their blue eyes and long lashes to their curly brown hair and stinky little toes. They fill my heart with joy and wonder everytime I look at them.
Advice
- The more organized you are the better! It makes life less stressful.
- Keep your twins/multiples on the same schedule as much as possible (when one eats so does the other, when one sleeps put the other one down too...this will give you time to get other things done or just take a break!)
- Make sure you give each baby individual attention. If one baby is asleep and the other one won't go down, then use that one on one time to share extra cuddles or have a little playtime or reading time
- Most important....just go with the flow and don't be overly critical of yourself. Enjoy being a mommy of multiples.
