Just a Day in the Life of a Mom with Twins

What’s in my hospital bag? (First Time Mom) I’m currently 35 + 6 weeks with my twins and finally nailed down all the things for my hospital bag. Since I’m a first time mom I’m not sure if I over-packed or under-packed but I guess only time will tell at this point.

I’ve heard horror stories of losing the babies after 38 weeks because of cord issues, placenta problems, etc. I don’t want that to be me. So we had agreed to the 38 week induction. With the scare in week 33 I thought they would be here a lot sooner but after each doctor appointment now they keep saying there’s really no sign of them coming early.
