Hi thanks for the reply. Its a relief to know that it is possible to have an af when pregnant. I really think I am 4 weeks ahead..I just dont know how to get the midwife to take me seriously!

My sister did it and it worked perfectly :) She BF one and formula fed the other soy formula ~ then the next feeding she alternated ~ she did eventaully have enough milk to feed both BF but it took ALOT of time and she was never abel to get anything done and with one bottle feeding hubby or family could feed the other ~ I say its perfect. There are some who will say BF both dont use formula and that you can do it but you need to do whats best for you and that was best for her and she is glad she did it :)

i think it will be fine to feed one at a time and the other with pumped milk. i give my little girl both. i nurse her during the day and give her pumped milk at night (i'm so exhausted so the bottle seems to feed her faster and more efficiently then we can both go back to bed). especially since you are having twins this would enable other people to help you feed them. i use avent bottles and they work well so i think as long as you use a bottle designed to be combined with breastfeeding you should be fine. it's also very nice to have them used to occasional bottles for when you have a babysitter. (i started pumping in the morning and evening more to relieve my discomfort than to give her bottles and these times worked well for me so if you start a routine your body will adjust and make more at those times). sorry so long. good luck and congratulations!

I think the c-sec is my doc's protocol. Which stinks because I'm totally against it. Just got back from the u/s and they are both head down. Hopefully they'll stay that way and I can convince my dr. to let me try vaginally.

Hi, thanks for you thoughts on the baseball shower. My Mom and I were out today looking for those popcorn cups but didn't find any. Oh well. I'm sure the shower will go off just fine without them. The shower is tomorrow. YAY!

Hope you're feeling good.

Hey there, i responding to a question that you had left on the c-section forum. I have had 2 c-sections and both times ive had spinal blocks. I thought they were great. Usually spinal blocks are used for elective ceasers. Nothing hanging out your back! I would suggest to you to ask your doctor about the process or if you know the hospital that your bubs will be delivered at, call the midwifes and ask them about the process and about the spinal blocks. All i would say to you is keep up with your meds and make sure you know when and how often you are ment to have them. If they don't remember to give them to you, remind them. Also when your allowed out of bed, walk around. It aids in the recovery process. One last thing.... FIBRE..... you wont be able to leave hospital till you have passed a stool. If you are havin trouble, ask them for some fibre sachets. I hope this help you. Amanda

I've had both a spinal and epidural... honestly, in terms of getting the needle they both were pretty painless for me and over before I knew it. I couldn't tell you the difference between getting either one.

As far as pain relief during delivery... my epidural only numbed half my muscles and I felt the contractions on the left side of my stomach (this was during vaginal delivery). With my spinal, I had a c-section... it took about 20-30 minutes to numb me (which is longer than usual) but when it finally did, I didn't feel any pain during the section, just A LOT of pulling. After the baby was out they gave me a dose of morphine, but about 15-20 minutes later the pain from surgery came with a vengence and I had to get a morphine drip! I think I just have overactive pain receptors LOL.

I'd recommend using the magical internet to order some glass or BPA-free bottles. Why stress out? Just a few clicks and they'll send you some.

Thanks so much for responding to my question...My only other concern is when reading about trisomy 18 one of the symptoms is having clenched fist...and on both my sonos the babys right hand was in a fist and we didnt see him open it..Im trying to stay postive,and as far as I know all my other test came back just fine.. so, im not going to be content till my little guy comes out and I see him for myself...:)

I agree with these other ladies. You and your other half have your own family to consider now. And she has no place to treat you the way that she is. He should stand up to his mother, get the things that he needs to move in properly. If it was my husband and my MIL I would want him to tell her to treat you with some respect too. Your MIL sounds like a nightmare. Good luck.

Your DH needs to let the MIL Monster from Hell know that he's old enough to make his own decisions. He needs to grow a pair and go over there, get HIS stuff, and move in for real. I would also try to cut off all contact with this woman -- trying to bribe him with money to leave you and your kids for her?? Obviously she's a completely manipulative, psychotic bitch and needs to be left alone with the voices in her head.

nancy26 - Sunday, 11 May
Honey, I don't know how old your DH is... but you guys have got to stop letting your MIL dictate to you. I'd arrange a moving van to go over to his house, and just call and tell her that you're moving the stuff out. My MIL is not nearly as bad as yours... I still think she dislikes me somewhat because I "whirlwinded" her only son into a marriage, which I'm sure she thought at the time was for convenience or thought I was pregnant... she only now seems to be accepting me (also 3 years down the line), but loves to hold these little power struggles. You can't let your MIL win. They love these power struggles, and they love to have something to hold over your head! I spoke to my MIL for the first time in 3 years on the phone last week... you've got to declare yourself alpha, here hon. She might be his mother, but his time there as her little boy is over, and she needs to deal with that. I strongly sympathise with you, but the more the two of you cow-tow to her and let her get away with "hoarding" his stuff, the more powerful she feels and it will just reinforce the fact that she thinks your DH will go back to live there.

I would not even let MIL know I was in labor just to keep her away. What nerve! She can enjoy the labor but scorn you. The Bible says, "Blessed is he who does not sit in the seat of the scornful." Stay as much away from her as possible, and don't even mention to her anything about your baby from here on out.

nich-vegas-mommy2be - Wednesday, 7 May
your MIL sounds way too much like mine! They must be related somehow...

Amberizzle - Wednesday, 7 May
About your MIL... how to tell her not to come? Be a complete bitch, that's how! Obviously this woman has no tact or concern for how you feel, so it's time for you to act the same way. Maybe then she'll get the hint. Tell her straight up that she will NOT be in the delivery room and that you have told the staff not to let anyone but your husband in. I would also confront her about the statement concerning having your tubes tied and tell her that your husband will not be separating from you and she can kiss that ugly little dream goodbye. I'd also mention that "no one approves of you" comment and tell her to her face that you don't need her approval or anyone else's... your husband's is good enough for you! Honestly, she's never going to understand anything else than brutal, painful honesty.
