Dont let the drs talk you into vaxing them!

be sure to do some experiments over the years... You have a perfect sample size.

Congratulations, you will be very happy.

The first three years shape a child's personality. Always pick them up, never spank, breastfeed. It makes them smarter.

Whitenoise machines, dishwasher, hair dryer, car rides make them sleep.

As far as the insemination goes, you're both welcome. Glad to help out.

Congratulations! Buy your shotgun now because they'll be a lot more expensive when they're teens.

For mine, it was getting up 14 times through the night at first, and you have two! Hope you're caught up on your sleep...

On Monday? No homebirth I take it?

Inductions are the worst (one intervention leads to another, leads to another, may end in a C-section). The pitocin doesn't help, causes too much pain, leads to an epidural. Those sedatives cause mom and baby to lose connection and may cause the baby to go into distress.

Hospitals are for the sick and dying, not new life.

The "due date" is an estimation, dilation tells you nothing about when baby is arriving. The fetal ejection reflex will activate at the appropriate time.

If going to the hospital, you need to be a warrior. Get a birth plan. Make the staff stick to it. EVERYTHING is voluntary, no matter what the hospital "policy" is. Your policy overrides theirs.

Monday is the day of our C-section. Having twins makes this an automatic high risk pregnancy, and my wife insisted on C-section.

Be safe and have a good Monday. I understand that cesareans require extra recovery time. Take it easy.

[ - ] Althea 2 points 2 monthsFeb 23, 2025 09:22:44 ago (+2/-0)

I had 3 of my kids natural homebirth, but had an emergency c-section for one due to preeclampsia. In the hospital, they don't even ask for your permission for anything except Hep B and Vitamin K shot. They didn't mention delayed cord clamping (though I don't know how that works with C-sec), antibiotic eye ointment, cleaning the vernix, etc

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz 0 points 2 monthsFeb 23, 2025 11:06:11 ago (+0/-0)

my sister lost her child to preeclampsia a few years ago. i dont know what caused it since she wasnt obese or anything but she almost lost her life as well for this.

she cannot get pregnant anymore because she is susceptible to suffer from this. also she is post wall now lol

[ - ] Althea 1 point 1 monthMar 7, 2025 08:48:24 ago (+1/-0)

I'm sorry to hear the baby didn't survive, but I'm glad your sister did. It must have been a devastating loss for you all, especially if she is unable to have another child. I didn't know preeclampsia was dangerous for babies (unless they were extremely preterm) and thought it was mostly the mother who was at risk.

My baby and I were in dire circumstances (my BP was in the 200s/?? and they told me I could have a seizure at any moment)- the cause is unknown and the only "cure" is to deliver. My boy ended up having down syndrome and needing multiple surgeries. He was a little angel and unfortunately passed away a few months later. I was blessed enough to have my most recent baby VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) at 40 years old (post wall?), and he is a healthy boy. I've had many friends that have suffered with infertility, so I am beyond grateful to be blessed with my children.

I hope your family finds peace and solace from your loss <3

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz 0 points 1 monthMar 7, 2025 19:12:00 ago (+0/-0)

this happened years ago and yes it was a big trauma for the whole family and thank you for your message and sympathies. but yes this condition can fatal for the mother and the child. unfortunately the child was aborted, otherwise my sister and kid wouldnt be here anyway. it was a hard choice for the mother....

i dont know what else to say. hope my unborn nephew is reunited with unborn sister in heaven. yes i lost a sister in a similar situation when my mother gave birth

anyways think you so much for your kind words. hope you are not a stranger to these parts of the internet. your type of kindness and empathy is much needed in a cold cold world

I'm a twin. You're going to have your hands full.

Wait till they're 16! at least my mom had boys.

I have cousins that are twins, men now. When they were young if one got in trouble with the law he would give them his brother's name! LOL. Then one of them got a tattoo and that was the end of That game.

30 years after the fact I was having a background check for a nursing license

An open container ticket showed. I never got a ticket for that.

Somehow my brother convinced the cop he was me. Probably on the beach and had no wallet.

Here's a homemade baby formula I used with my daughter, worked great for supplementing when we couldn't breastfeed or ran out of breastmilk

[ - ] x0x7 1 point 2 monthsFeb 23, 2025 09:16:56 ago (+1/-0)

No. Humans suck at making artificial human milk. You have to go natural. But if you have to go unnatural the formula companies have it more figured out than the diy health nuts. Certainly has it more figured out than that particular health nut because if you do go diy it is goat's milk or bust.

Ranking:
Milk from the actual mother
Milk from a wet nurse
Formula
Goat's milk
Cow's milk

The further down you go the more likely they will be under developed, with goat and cows milk being likely, and cows milk as being a good chance you are straight up killing your baby.

The fact that the health nut you linked to's top recipe is based on cows milk and didn't treat goat's milk as a necessary minimum means she doesn't know the history of humans using other animals milk. She's not the first person in history to try it, obviously. Humans have a long history of trying other animal's milk. It's not great. Using cows milk in particular is a joke. And there it is, top listed option.

I want to like natural shit over big pharma too. If only the people posting their own personal solutions online weren't idiots you could put more trust in it. Natural isn't a problem. It's lack of effective brain power behind it.

This is where MAHA is going to be great. We're going to re-purpose the NIH to find the best natural solutions with real data behind it. Natural medicine will get better. But for now its dominated by blog-tards that will fuck up your baby.

First off you didn't read what I wrote. Secondly, you didn't read the article. Third, and most importantly, you're a moron, fuck yourself.

[ - ] Gowithit 0 points 2 monthsFeb 23, 2025 13:49:33 ago (+0/-0)

my second wouldnt even touch goats milk when I tried it during a no formula situation.

[ - ] NoRefunds 1 point 2 monthsFeb 23, 2025 14:29:39 ago (+1/-0)

My daughter loves raw goat milk, she really likes raw cow milk too. She's 2 now and does at least 16 oz per day but up to 32 oz.

She's been in the 85%-95% percentile in her weight, height and every checkup baby has been advanced in recognition, cognitive and other milestones by a month or two.

Also, zero vax as well.

[ - ] Gowithit 0 points 2 monthsFeb 23, 2025 20:53:21 ago (+0/-0)

Fantastic getting her to that 95% in her weight. Did you know doctors used to scold for that? I thought they were insane. Also couldn't qualify (in before times haha) for Wic if the child was in that range.

Little scam I saw a few years ago it seems they want the children malnourished in some way for an easy excuse to get cps involved. The new "diets" they were having NEW mothers put their babies on were ridiculous. One of the moms I knew was surprising and I asked her "why did you follow that, you have other kids you knew" she just said she followed what they said and boom cps. After a month of just letting the kid eat cps was off her case but it's still there..in files.. and you never know what they might use it on you later.

They told a cousin of mine wait until 12 mos to introduce solid foods. My sister went berserk (lived in same town) on her for following that. Told her thats what the different baby food stages were for and explained you couldn't just give them liquids.

Also wic and food stamps: here's your allotted amount. This is what you get makes retards think thats all you give them. Went through that row myself with my husbands niece. She was following the "diet" and nothing outside of the "diet" because "she would go through it too quickly if she allowed her to eat whenever". And now with these formula prices?? Have you seen them? I walked by just out of curiosity a few weeks ago and jaw literally dropped. There's no way a girl can afford it on her own. Totally by design to force them in government programs. Since mIlK Is sCaRy of course they don't feel safe trusting anything but The Best™ the state offers.

she really likes raw cow milk too

funny story, I give mine the a/2 a/2 but if i'm out I'll just give them the raw milk and I did run out a few days ago so when the youngest ( who has now started to pick up on reading) saw me take the bottle out and pour she looked intensely at the cup for a solid few seconds and then said "I don't want pet milk" and refused it. They have to label it "pet milk" in order to sell raw milk here. haha she doesn't know. From here on forward..LABELS OFF!

has been advanced in recognition, cognitive and other milestones by a month or two.

\o/ . yay fat! That watered down swill from the store isn't helping anything except lining lobbyist pockets.

Want to watch something with the wife?

Most formula is filled with crap including corn syrup. Healthy friends of mine that need formula usually have to special order stuff from Europe. In the NICU they only allow you to use their one "approved" brand of formula and you can't choose your own formula for your own baby. I ended up pumping extra milk (thank heavens I had good supply, but I had to work for it), putting it in the fridge, and skimming the "cream" off the top to add to other breastmilk because they insist the fat content in regular breastmilk is not enough for preemies. I froze the "skim milk" to be used at a later date.

Some advice: keep them away from dangus. He's a pedo but also a lardass and he might eat them.

Congrats!

I have two girls myself, who aren’t twins, but very close in age. Only advice I can really offer is to keep them off of phones and tablets, etc for as long as possible. Don’t let them get caught up in the brain rot or social contagions that go along with social media and modern society.

Interact with them, physically as much as possible. Be a presence in their lives.

And don’t be so afraid of being labeled “controlling” that you don’t push them in any direction. Instill real values and goals in them. When other parents are telling you that you’re raising them wrong or backwards, ignore them. There is nothing of value in the modern way these kids are being raised.

It's the big day. Be safe, and may your girls (all three of them) be happy, healthy, and blessed for all of their days.

If they do the "twin speak"

Make sure you encourage them to retain it so that you can sell them to the government as an unbreakable cypher

Like the Navajo, but without all the corn niggers.
