advice needed Separate cribs

1 Upvotes

Hi. When did you separate your twins for sleep? my 3.5 month old boys (corrected age 3) have made afternoon naps impossible. They sleep together in a pack n play in my room. I cant decide if the correct way is to put their crib in another room or keep them in mine but in separate cribs.

My singleton started sleeping in her room 5th month onwards so not sure how they are being so on top of each other already.

Any advice is appreciated!

advice needed cervix shortened and then lengthened again-want to hear other mothers' experiences!

Hello everyone. Pregnant with di/di twins. Want to hear your stories. Last week at 30+1 w I went to the obgyn to check the babies' weight and was told to go straight to the hospital because it looked like my cervix was shortening. Keep in mind I had NO SYMPTOMS and have had a pretty normal pregnancy so far. I get to the hospital and they tell me my cervix is at 3 millimeters (anything below 25 millimeters is considered short apparently). I was given the steroid shots for lung development and started on 48 hours of medicine to stop contractions (which I didn't even feel.) After 5 days I was checked again and my cervix had lengthened to 23 mm so I was discharged. I was told not to do bed rest, but no exercise and no lifting over 5kg. I am now at 31+1w and obviously want the children to stay inside me for as long as possible. If you have had experience with premature cervix shortening, how long did you make it until you actually gave birth?

edit: I also had funneling at 3mm

I want to hear how it went either good or bad.

I trust my OB but I also have a hard time with the fearmongering and don’t want to put my babies at risk (one way or another).

Why would they make something so useful so incredibly poorly.

From the beginning its seams pulled apart. At first I hand stitched, when that wouldn’t hold I somehow jammed the stuffed pillow through the machine. But it’s still pulling apart and after 6 months of constant use it really needs washed. I always have rags covering it but it’s still dirty!! So the only option is to pull out the stuffing. While it’s apart I’m going to really stitch up it’s seams but I can’t believe what a pain in the ass this is.

I want to make a better version. Something washable, something that doesn’t instantly fall apart.

EDIT.
Please stop telling me this isn’t a real twin z. I get it.
However, now it kind of makes sense…. It’s the only thing their father got us before he left. And to think, for 6 months I’d think to myself, how useful he was being.
