How did you all move forward with your normal day to day tasks? I am beyond grateful to my have my almost 2 year old son, but I want to just crawl in bed and deal with 0 responsibility right now. My D&E was on Thursday so everything is still fresh for me.

I also feel guilty not being my happy self around him and keeping him entertained.

How also did you handle those you haven’t even told you were pregnant? We have friends and family that we never told we were even pregnant but now we are going to be seeing them and I feel like a shell of myself. Should I just tell them?

How many overnight getaways have they had since the twins were born? It has to be atleast 5 or 6 right? It’s so so crazy to me. Sure parents need a date night here and there but this is insane. My son is a month younger than the pockets and me and my husband don’t want to do any overnight getaways or be away from him for too long because he brings us so much joy. It makes us so happy experiencing new things with him and getting to do things as a family. If we were going to spend time away from him it would have to be for a legitimate reason and not to just bed rot. It’s so crazy to me

My husband and I are both carriers for a POLG-related mitochondrial DNA depletion disorder. Im currently pregnant and our CVS results showed that the baby inherited both of our familial variants.

My variant: POLG c.2209G>C (p.G737R)
My husband’s variants: POLG c.[752C>T;1760C>T] (p.[T251I;P587L])

Has anyone had experience with either of these variants, or especially this specific combination? I’m looking for any information about known cases, phenotype/severity, or personal experiences with an affected child.

We’ve been having a really difficult time finding information about this particular combination, so any insight or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry there’s a couple things that got glossed over cause of flood gate but:

-Her and Jesse are already planning another “date night” but it consists of staying over night in a hotel again. Why can’t they just go to dinner? Why does it always have to be an overnight thing?

-She mentioned her period phases and that she needs to get an iud in but they aren’t with that same private clinic anymore. So obv the third baby thing is a big lie

-Did anyone catch the story of P seeing the ghost of the failed embryo transfer?? That whole thing is SO strange like is she making it up??

There is no way they’re a “no screen household”. It’s obviously a bold face lie, but there is no doubt in my mind that whenever they take them out to eat (which is the only place they go besides Canadian tire) they’re giving them Ms Rachel on their phones. Going out to eat with toddlers this age is stressful and a challenge, but to do it with twins, order drinks, sit there and “eat” your meal, it’s just not possible.
