I guess I having normal mom of twin fear. I really don't know anyone who has had twins. I am apart of an online community that has lost of twin moms and I'm sure they mean well, and have tried to reassure me that even though the babies are identical I as their mother will tell them apart or will find a way to. And I am sure I will.... But what if I don't. What if after we are home from the hospital I don't find the way and get them mixed up? I am prepared for a few things.
1. I am prepared for these babies to be born early. I'm praying I can make it to 28 weeks. I am hoping to not have anything happen before 26.
2. I am prepared to leave these babies in the nicu. I've done it twice. It's not easy. I'm prepared to do it.
3. I'm prepared to have a c-section. I hated my section and recovery but I feel it's the safest thing for my babies.
4. I am prepared to be a dairy cow. I want to pump for these babies. To give them the best start. Even if its just whole they are in the nicu.
5. I am prepared for feeding issues.
I am having problems preparing my mind with other things.
1. What if they need meds? What if I give the wrong med to a baby?
2. What if they are on different formulas?
Do I make sure they have different bottles as well so I don't confuse the two?
3. What if I screw up big time?!?
