New mommy and babies introduction

OK, I finally have this twin thing down well enough to write my birth story. I hope it’s not too late to share with you all!

My darling boys were born at 38 weeks at 12:30pm on Tuesday, March 10. They were delivered via C-section since both were breech. Max was 6.1 lbs and Levi was 7.1 lbs! I couldn’t believe that I grew such big babies, especially considering that my older son (who was also born at 38 weeks) was 6.13 lbs on his own.

As much as I was ready not to be pregnant anymore, I must say that I was not a fan of the caesarean birth. I am a big wimp with pain, but I much preferred the natural delivery. I didn’t like the hospital part, didn’t like the recovery part and overall the whole thing was just plain icky. But…

7 weeks later and I feel like me again. I’m having such a good time conquering the challenges of twin motherhood and I can’t believe that I am doing all of this on 4 hours sleep. I tell you, everyone says it will get better at 6 weeks, but in the beginning it feels like an eternity away. And then suddenly it’s here. We’re having smiles and cooing and maybe someday we’ll even start sleeping longer than 3 hours straight.

Anyway, I read the forums every single day and it’s such a comfort to hear everyone’s insight, problems, encouragement, etc. thank you!

Congrats! Those were some great weights. I too did not like the c-section part. It also took my 7 weeks to recover. I had two infections in my incision. Post some pictures when you get a chance. And thanks for sharing your birth story. I hope you get some more sleep soon.

 

Congratulations! Welcome to FY!

 

Congrats and :welcome: to FY :babyflips:

 

Welcome to the First Year Maggie! I'm so impressed! We hit our big struggles around 6 weeks so I'm really happy to hear about all your smiles and cooing. That is wonderful! What awesome weights they had! WTG cookin' them!

 

Welcome to the FY! Welcome to the world Max and Levi! I am so glad to hear that you and the boys are doing great!

 

Congratulations and welcome!!! Those are some fabulous weights for 38 weekers, I can't imagine how uncomfortable you were at the end. I know at 36weeks I literally popped like a water balloon.

You're going to find a TON of helpful people and information around here. Everyone's super nice and it's such a relief to know that you're not the only one experiencing x, y or z.

 

Congratulations! It's great to see some more big twins! I felt like a freak show towards the end. I too felt like, How did I grow these big babies?

 

:woo: Congratulations!! :woo:

 

Congrats!! What big, healthy babies you have! Look forward to hearing from you in FY!

 

:welcome: You're boys were almost the same weights as mine; I bet you feel a lot lighter now
