Twin Mommies (or Trips too)

Thanks Marsha,
I feel like a big baby!  I honestly do look forward to my weekly dr visits just so I can get out of the house!  But I haven't been on bedrest nearly as long as you.  It's so hard with my two boys but I am getting some help here and there.  

I'll have to send hubby to the store for some Epsom salts.  Did that help for swelling or itching? 

Thanks for your reply!  I appreciate it!
Sandy

Epsom salt helped with the swelling and the aches and pains.  Then
I alternated btw the aveno oatmeal bath and lotion for the itchiness. When it it felt like i was going to jump out of my body which was mainly at night,  I took benadryl at bedtime so i could get a good two- three hours sleep before i had to go to bathroom for the millionth time lol.

That's EXACTLY how I"m feeling! 

I went 36w6d.   Jack needed a day and a half in the NICU, but we all went home in 4 days. 

I was put on modified bed rest at week 20 and full bed rest at week 27.   I was bored, but I used the time to get the rest I needed, play on the Internet, shop, watched TV, etc.   I didn't have other kids in the house so it was a little different for me.  

Trustt me when I tell you, you will not make it to 39 weeks.  Just hang on a little longer.  As you know, it will be well worth it in the end.  

I was hoping you would respond!  LOL.  I am hoping to have a VERY similar experience as yours.  I notice that many moms of mults seem to stay for 4 days.  Is that normal?  They just put that ban on 12 years and younger visitors at our hospital and I couldn't imagine not seeing my little ones for that long!  My husband says the boys are coming and meeting their sisters either way.  We'll see!  LOL.

Thanks for your response.  I hope to GOD I don't make it to 39 weeks...sounds so bad but UGH!  

Sandy

They actually wanted to kick us all out after 3 days.   I said screw you and demanded they keep me another day, primarily because I felt jack needed the extra day in the hospital.  

I think had Jack not spent time in the NICU we would have gone home in two days.   I didn't  have a c-section though.  

not a multi mom... but i had a 35 weeker... he was healthy as an elephant and over 6 lb... the only problem i had was his suck swallow reflex was kinda of weak... but that didnt stop him.. he found a way LOL... we came home at the same time

Thank you!  That is encouraging!  I am hoping to have a VERY similar situation.  I have a couple of little elephants here too.  LOL. 

Sandy

it will all work out... girls are stronger then boys... i feel your pain... well not really... but i feel for you!

Oh Sandy, it sounds awful.  I hope some relief comes really soon.

Best,
Leila
