Jamie Otis Instagram – 32 wks pregnant w the twinnies TODAY🤰🎉 Every day we get further the least likely they’ll have to be in the NICU!🙏🙌
I know they can come any day👶👶… but being 32 weeks feels like a huge triumph & my anxiety has eased up so much with each week they get bigger!🙏
And speaking of getting bigger – they’re each the size of a cantaloupe.🍈 If my girl math is mathing correctly, two cantaloupes = a watermelon!!!🍉 😆
With every pregnancy Doug has done the watermelon challenge.🤣 I thought it’d be the perfect time for him to wear it and remember just how heavy it is for me to carry his babies around for him😉 … but I dont know?! I genuinely think my belly is *bigger* than the watermelon on his???😂 What do you think???🤔😅
The other thing we did today was meet with a doula to help during labor. I think I should really have one there for personal support!🙏 I am doing everything I can to prevent postpartum depression this time around – it was so severe last time & I can’t imagine going through it again with twins.🙈
I used to try to be “strong” and not ask for help or lean into support – now I know only the strongest women get by because they do have help. They aren’t scared to accept or ask for it. And since we have no family here, I think having an experienced doula will be so beneficial during the tough parts of labor.🙏🙏🙏
I’ve never had a doula before but my friend Diana and so many others really believe they’re so helpful so it’s def worth a shot!
Have you ever used a doula??🤷🏼♀️ who/what was your best support during labor? I think @doughehner legit gets scared of me (🤣) and all the pain during labor so he kinda just disappears!😅 After chatting with some friends I think most men kinda get freaked out by labor and even the delivery … with Hendrix I was like “Doug!! Where are you?!?” Every ten minutes bc he was gone!😂 Sooo here’s hoping the doula will be helpful and supportive for BOTH of us!🤪🤣🙏❤️
