Twin pregnancy
Since I was pregnant with identical twins(only one placenta), the nursemidwife said it was high risk so I didn't exercise during the pregnancy. I was very very nauseated. More than my other pregnancies(which is pretty bad too!). I had to lay on the couch all day and just try and get my mind off the sickness. My water broke at 36 weeks and it was a strange labor. Nothing happened for a whole day and then boom! At 11pm at night, my contractions were so fast and close together. I barely made it to the hospital and my first twin was born at 1AM and the 2nd at 1:20AM. I birthed in a jacuzzi and they barely had time to put in an IV in case I needed a C section but I delivered the twins naturally. They were small(5.5 and 5.13)and easy to push out compared to my last baby boy who was 9.5lbs! I didn't even have to have any perineum stitches compared to the 22 I had with my last boy! So Things were very different with twins. After they were born, it was hard to juggle them around to nurse but I found the football position the most comfortable with a horseshoe nursing pillow(it goes around your stomach and sides). I also found that nursing them both at the same time was easiest. It kept them on the same schedule. That was very important. Also having 2 automatic swings was a lifesaver!! Now that my twins are both 5, they are always together and playing together and taking care of eachother. It is so much easier than just one child. Twins are a lot of work but they are also such a joy!
