scheduled c section? measuring small, & 24 week ultrasound

[@catecate2809]

C-section recovery tip… stay ahead of the pain by taking the meds as prescribed and don’t skip. I made that mistake night one at home. . Belly band a must. Make sure you keep a pillow nearby in case you need to sneeze or cough to hold tight against your incision otherwise it feels like your incision is ripping open. You got this! And the catheter being removed I don’t even remember so it must have been uneventful lol

[@babybx3]

I didn’t feel much when they removed my catheter. I had an emergency c section at 30 weeks. I healed really well. My scar is almost invisible. I know that probably has to do with the fact I had my daughter pretty early as well so I wasn’t that big and I wasn’t having twins. She weighed 3lbs. You both are going to do amazing and be the best mama and mommy ever! So excited for you both!

[@kathleenserrano928]

Allie looks like she has her energy back and both of you are glowing and so happy !

[@hesedr]

C section tip: Frida mom has some great c section products! My favorite was the disposable underwear. Wore that and a nursing bra with big a shirt. Doing things that make you feel comfy and go slow! I had my first incision open from over doing it so take all the help. My second c section I listened to my body and had no problems. Wishing you ladies all the best!🤍

[@LeahRuthEllenClark]

You guys are doing an amazing job growing those cute twins. I have been following your journey and I am praying for you guys for less anxiety and that God to just take all your anxieties and worries away so you can enjoy this magical journey . You guys are gonna be such awesome mummies to those twins. They are already so lucky to have you as their mummies 🌈💕❤️💙

[@MI-tj1dv]

Pregnancy suits Allie!! Her features are so sharp and the pregnancy has just brought on this ethereal glow to her face.. god bless you both and your little babies

[@katherinecarrara3379]

You look radiant, Allie. Carrying so nicely. Nursery is looking very comfy, cozy and calming. I’m sure babies will love being there. Probably will get stronger muscles pushing that stroller, but it makes perfect sense with twins. Thanks for sharing this video. Stay safe

[@lassam333]

The stroller looks very nice! I love the different options it offers! The nursery looks beautiful!

[@annmarieries8672]

Oh my gosh!!! I just found your channel. My mother was from Halifax NS! What a beautiful place to raise your babies.

[@caromccarthy1901]

I think it may be standard anyways, but ask for your IV to be put in your hand so you don’t have to worry about bending your arm/holding babes with it being in the way. You can also ask them to put a sticker/color stretchy gauze tape over it so you’re not looking at it the entire time through the see-through stick pad they use to hold it in place.

[@jodiwienkes6115]

My twins were born at 39 weeks. That wouldn’t happen these days but my twins will be 28 in three weeks. Love watching your journey to Mommyhood.

[@samanthacook8723]

The room is so cute. I think it has a neutral coastal/ summer kind of room. The one print you put up looks like bikini tops, boats and Pokémon balls on it. Could you mention what actually on the prints by the door. It’s hard to see even with glasses. You guys give off happy, safe cozy space vibes. Thankyou for being such a positive couple.

[@ginaandseason2774]

Honestly the babies ultrasound pictures are beautiful you can tell they are stunning!! And they are fantastic weights at 24 weeks! Also my guess for the theme is the colours of your logo with melons red thrown in..looking great guys!

[@louisacoote2337]

Sun(shine) and rainbows is the nursery theme, I think.

[@Shogundoxie1414]

You two are glowing and I'm so happy for both of you!

[@sarahaudrey8663]

The nursery is looking so nice, I love the colours you have chosen 🥰 I’ve had 6 children and the Donkey was by far my fave pram, I will admit I became a little too consumed by changing the fabrics and liners, there’s so much choice to personalise it for each baby! Also I’m a midwife and you know what, once your babies are born you won’t even pay attention to what we do around you, you’ll be too busy loving on your littles and Sam xxxx

[@lindsay32031]

Fellow c-section mom and I promise you shouldn’t worry too much about the catheter! I was so freaked out but it wasn’t bad at all! Also, my #1 recovery tip is to make sure you have a post-partum belly band! I had a really hard time standing up straight without one.

[@thekiahjane]

I get retro beach vibes!

[@joyswanson101]

You are both so beautiful and what lucky babies to have two such wonderful parents

[@janicemichaloski5292]

I love that stroller, those little snowsuit inserts are very handy 💕

[@chronicallyella1191]

I think the nursery is a sunset beach vibe 🏄🏼‍♂️🌈💫

[@danielleerin2303]

Such a cute vlog. My sister made it to 38 weeks with her twins and one was six pound the other 5.9 pound

[@nicolemeiner6903]

My mom had one vaginal birth and one (emergency) c-section. Definitely pros and cons to both and end of the day what the pregnant person feels more comfortable with is 100% what you should do! Definitely make sure you have places to sit and rest that you don't sink down into because it would be hard and painful to get up that way.

[@loupelizzo2399]

Thank you so much for this update and totally understand Sam, and the stroller looks and sounds amazing. Nursery looks great and thank you so much and I’ll be honest not sure what the theme of it is yet. Love you both

[@mahliekbenjamin174]

Good And Nice Aille And Sam

[@shellygreen3014]

They will watch you for IGUR …. Sometimes babies don’t get enough from the placenta, so it’s good they are watching carefully

[@khatrenreed731]

I was born at 24 weeks and weighed 1lb 7oz. Congrats on reaching 24 weeks and I hope the next ultrasound looks good :)

[@xxsydneypopytxx]

I was born around the same time and weight 1 lb 13 oz

[@Hor7236]

My wife was a 21 week premie, my anxiety was through the roof, even beyond the 24 week marker with both of our kids.

[@sarahkippel2417]

So excited for you two

[@fairyDaniful]

I actually have a friend that delivered twins in Nova Scotia and went to 39+5 days!

[@juliashepherd4123]

Love the pram!

[@noraMD]

[@shanabrown3077]

I’m a twin. My mom made it to 39 weeks 6 days with my sister and me . She had my sister natural unmediated and me by c section 26 mins later

[@quincerodriguez8044]

Hi Allie and Sam

[@theresalindsey890]

Lol they don’t leave the needle in your back. Just a small catheter. Don’t worry 😉

[@taradactyle262]

I had twins. Carried until 38 1/2 weeks. One was 6 lb 10 The other was 6 lb 14. I had a c section because both babies were breech. I was most scared about the catheter too. I just told them the give me the epidural first then do the catheter so I wouldn’t feel it.

[@emmaleeeadie1233]

I love your dogs! Are you preparing the dogs for the adjustment of bringing your babies home? You are going to be amazing Moms!!!!

[@christinaweaver6015]

Okay, I have seen LOTS of comments that you don’t feel them take the catheter out. Not the case for me, they left mine in for like 18hrs and I was not numb or on heavy pain meds. It was very uncomfortable and a little painful to me BUT it’s only for a minute and then it’s over!

[@nanstaten9973]

Congrats 24 weeks babies are doing so good. Nursery looking so nice. Both so Beautiful

[@annikaw3506]

Hey Allie, ex-nurse here! Just so you know, the needle doesn't stay in your arm when they put an IV in. It's just a little plastic tube, the needle retracts into the mechanism so it's protected. When they remove the IV it doesn't hurt, maybe the patient just feels some iritation, it's just removing the plastic tube.

[@wendylock6949]

Aww getting so excited xxxxxxx love always ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@joannemc350]

You don’t have the urge to go to the toilet with the catheter in and when they take it out you literally do not feel it. I think I was as nervous as you were over it and it was the least painful and scary thing about the C Section

[@breannslifetv3312]

Vlog 🎥 The Birth 👶 i Cant wait 4 the Twins 2 Come !

[@happysvenjaa]

Easy Beautiful and sweet couple allie and sam😍😍🌈

[@latoyaharris3858]

I’m getting California vibes with the nursery!!! I absolutely love the set up and where was that lovely stroller when I had my Irish twins lol!! I had to get that big stroller that was heavy lol!! My first 2 aren’t even a year apart and then my 3rd came the following year Sam would’ve sold that stroller to me quickly 🤗. I am enjoying seeing y’all’s journey I can’t wait for Vlogmas with babies 🤗

[@mkeri5121]

C-section tips: take morphine or extra pain medication home if they offer (Tylenol and Advil might not cut it), fridamom has c section postpartum underwear, get lots of light cotton robes to wear while you heal, high waisted loose underwear are great and some people like depends. The halo bassinet was great for us having the baby high up so that I could reach. Make sure you have a comfortable glider or chair that you can sit in that isn't too deep (Pillows behind your back can help prop you up), holding a pillow when you laugh is helpful. Make sure you have a ton of help at home! Getting up to walk as much as you can will help you recover. You won't feel them take out the catheter because you're still on pain medication (you won't feel it go in either), but you'll get up to walk and pee shortly after. You may have to teach yourself to pee after the catheter but that's the worst part! Everything you go through will be worth it for the two loves of your life! ❤️

[@AllieandSam]

Amazing!! Thank you for all of the helpful tips!!

[@jennp7]

All great tips ❤️

[@annarichter3690]

My twin sister and I were 3 days past our due date. My mom didn't know she was having twins until 3 weeks before her due date! Can you imagine?!

[@Emjcmt]

Ive had a catheter 3 times because of breast reconstruction surgeries. You do not feel it come out :) it slides right out 😊

[@tmilian46]

Don’t worry about the catheter, in fact don’t worry about anything lol. The reason is you are so numb you don’t feel anything aaand you won’t feel anything when it’s removed

[@amandaflowers1731]

I have 4 kids and its never real until they arrive and it still takes a few weeks afterwards for it to feel real.

[@MagnoliaPantherWoman]

Sunshine theme

[@Worldseesnormal]

I am a nurse who is also chronically Ill who’s had MANY IVs and a couple catheters myself. And has placed more IVs and catheters then I could count. I just wanted to pass on some info about the IV and catheter. The IV is obviously a needle, but they pull out the actual needle. All that’s left is a hard plastic “catheter!” So no needle staying in your arm. Also, the urinary catheter is placed after your numb. They will pull it when you are able to mostly feel your legs and everything. They wait to make sure you can actually go on your own. There is a chance that you will still be numb enough that you don’t feel the removal at all. But I will say it doesn’t hurt when they pull it it’s maybe just slightly uncomfortable. Personally a tampon is more painful then the catheter. (Sorry TMI) I think the only people that really complained about the removal were men. So there’s that. One last thought, you won’t feel the urge at all to pee while the catheter is in. Hope this helps. Big hugs.

[@kaylashae3915]

It’s quite normal for one twin to be smaller than the other one. It’s very common

[@Kyrriie]

twins are basically boxing in the womb, my brother who was born second came out bruised and bloody because older used him as a trampoline out the womb 🤣🤣

[@bayleysmith5875]

Theme is cali or vacationing !!!!!

[@seannaellis3987]

I went 38+6 with mine! The longer they are in there the better, you can do it ! I also had a vaginal birth with baby B breech. It is possible :)

[@emiliab5916]

My biggest worry about delivery baby was caterer… and I was waiting super long for epidural (both time I got right before pushing) I miss caterer part with epidural but second time they did like quick caterer (just to empty my bladder 🤷🏼‍♀️) and wasn’t painful and actually peeing was less painful this time then without caterer. I hope everything will goes well for you. (I hope I didn’t give to much personal/horrible details)

[@AllieandSam]

Thank you for sharing Emilia!! That's really good to know that it didn't bother you!

Where is that flower/butterfly dress from??

The catheter easily slides out, don't worry. Midwife here x

[@AllieandSam]

Oh that's really good to know! Thank you!!

[@bernardsenske9938]

I agree with emmagames below. I'm a guy and have had catheters a number of times in the hospital. I was asleep when they went in, but you do NOT feel anything coming out; takes maybe 2 seconds. Maybe for fun, you can have Sam do it; lol, lol (kidding)

[@ritagroomes8328]

Oh pretty momma you are blooming!💙💝

I've had natural no medication (child #2), I've had a epidural birth (child #1) and I've had a c-section birth! (Child #3@#4) My third pregnancy was twins!! And they were transverse breech!! It seems like your pregnancy is going along well even with you being small!! I delivered the twins at 34 weeks and it was my 3rd pregnancy!! FYI you won't feel the cath at all!! You will feel the IV but it's not the needle that stays in you it's actually a tiny itty bitty tube like a straw!!! I know your scared but the babies will make it all feel worth it!!
