Hi Bimboo,
Thanks for the info on how you fed your DD, I am really glad it worked for you. I have read plenty of books on twins and believe that you still have the option of demand feeding, however life might be bit easier on a routine. I loved the book by Tizzie Hall called Save Our Sleep, and plan to follow as best I can her recommendations with regards to feedings and routines. She is not a advocate at all of controlled crying, instead recommends, teaching baby to self settle, so I will be doing my best with this, though have no illusions that it will be hard.

Good on you for going for a home birth, I guess you can feel more comfortable given that this is number 2 & 3 for you. It took me so long to fall pregnant and a lot of intervention I wouldn't be comfortable to do it. But am very happy with my OB and after doing the research am happy with his recommendations for epidural, just hoping I can get twin 1 to flip so I can have a VB. I guess this is my small attempt to have at lease some natural component to the birth .

I have the same pains, and feeling incredibly stretched too, and I have bad groin pain on the left side, swollen feel, a bit of relux, am super tired, but overall have been very lucky I think, so now just hoping to hang on as long as I can.

I would love to catch up too, I am in Broadbeach Waters but happy to come to you. Let me know where you are or I will try to PM you privately.


Jenc, sorry to hear of your troubles, is this a growth spurt? Are they ready for solids yet? As long as they are putting on weight that is a good thing. And I have always read that it can be hard to compare with what the tin says. I hope you can work it out or someone has some suggestions.

Bella, so glad to hear things are going well with your boys too, gosh 6 weeks already, the time have flown by. Good luck and have fun with getting into your own routine. How exciting. Are you following any particular feeding routine?

I am sure I will have so many more questions for you both once the girls arrive. Now just patiently waiting, am not yet at the point where I am so uncomfortable that I want them out. So now just hoping that they turn in the next two weeks before my next OB appointment. I guess we will be talking labour and delivery then.

Hi to anyone else who is reading, xx
