Looks like another C - Section ( bugger)

Well i had my scan yesterday and everything is great the babies are growing well.  She is 2lb 9oz and He is 2lb 6oz and there sizes are perfect with my dates aswell so it was so good to know that they are growing well.  He is still head down but she is breech but if i do decide to have a c- section then that won't matter at all. And yes it cost me $20 which i didn't think is would as i had been referred by my obstetrician but never mind.

Thanks to everyone on the advice and your experience's with c-section's i guess now its just a matter of me making up my mind as to what i want to do.

Cool Delaneyhoes glad your babies are doing well there is abit of a weight difference but i guess one is always gona be bigger then the other, i was surprised because my girl was bigger then my boy but i guess that could all change no doubt he will catch up one day.If you have to end up having a c-section will you pick a date or go into labour and then have one.  I don't really want to pick my babies birthdays but at this stage it looks like i might have to. 

Well Had another scan today and the presenting baby is now head down. The other baby is back in a breech position. I have to see the specialist on Wed and the decision will be made then if I am going to have a c-section or an induction.
I have heard bad things about being induced and I am not really looking forward to that being a posibility.

Anyways baby A the littler one is now weighing about 5.5lbs and baby B is about 6.5lbs give or take and I only have 3 weeks to go until they want the babies out of me.
Fun fun fun.

LOL its never that bad when you look back aye!!!

I have spoken to a friend of mine who had a similar experience and she said it wasnt as bad as she thought it was going to be.
I guess at the end of the day, I want the babies out - I have had enough - so what ever method I will be happy with i think.

Well I saw the specialist on Wed and she has booked me in for a c-section on 21st June. I am a bit freaked but also excited! They will do another scan on the day and make the final decision then for either a c-section or an induction.
Only 19 days to go. YAY

Are you having separate rooms and beds for the bubs or are they going to "room-in". Just curious. I don't know anyone with twins. Although I saw a special pn the discovery channel about quads the other day. wow!

My specialist picked the 21st as that is after my 38 week mark and when she is doing her thing in Hosp.

Also in my situation the babies are going to share a room, they will be in our room sharing a cot for the first little while and then I think we will just take it from there. For me too this is all very new to me... only this morning I was doing a list of things to take to the hospital and man oh man there is so much when you have twins! 2 lots of everything adds up, lets just hope they dont think I am moving in LOL.

I have to admit I am getting really nervous now, not just about having the twins and how that will all go but afterwards as well. The sleepless nights, feeding, changing - all the stuff that you worry about with a singleton...multiplied!

If you don't mind me asking, where in NZ do you girls live? The reason I'm asking is because in Hamilton, at Waikato Hospital, there's a place called MotherCraft. They are a sleeping and feeding help specialist type of place. You stay in a private room with your baby/ies and they help you establish appropriate routines. You are there for a week, Monday afternoon until Friday morning. Oh, and it's free.

I went there with Kiya when she was 6 months old. I was living with my parents and my (then) primary-school aged siblings. There were 6 of us in a three bedrooom house, and I couldn't let Kiya make much noise at night. My Mum was working full-time, my Dad was a full-time student, and my sister was 10 and my brother was 8, so everyone needed their sleep more than I did. Plunket refered me to MotherCraft so I could get Kiya used to sleeping in her own bed again.

It was great. They (in their own words) be the "bad guys" and keep putting baby down while you relax knowing you are getting the help you need! While I was there, there was a Tauranga mum who had just had twins, then transferred over to MotherCraft. They were helping her establish sleep/feed routines she would be able to impliment when she got home. They helped her to offset the twins by 20 minutes: so one would wake, be fed and changed and sorted out, then the other would wake and so on.

Maybe there's something similar where you are, or you can go to MotherCraft.

A mate of mine had twin boys last year, and seh tried breast feeding the 2 of them but one prefered the bottle so she BF one and bottle fed the other.

I live in Te Puke and am having my babies in Rotorua we just moved here.  Yep they have a mother craft unit in Rotorua my sister in law (nicky) stayed in there when she had Kyan who was premature so i've had abit to do with it and also spent abit of time in SCBU.

The whole breast feeding thing is abit scary but will give it ago and see how it all works out.
