You’ve got this Rachel!! Breathe. Trust the process. Have faith that God’s got you… and the girls will be here when it’s the best time for them. Breathe. Your health and the health of those baby girls is paramount… and you are a rock star mama. You’ve got this. Breathe…
You should put the date filmed at the bottom like you use to. I look forward to yalls video everyday!!!
Brad's driving comment reminded me of when we had our 4th...when we notified family I was in labor, my father-in-law responded with "so exciting." My husband's cousin, on the other hand, responded with "Exciting!? Once you get to 4, it's just like making a trip to the mailbox."
Still makes me laugh lol :)
Lol I'm 28wks with number 5🤣🤣 so true
Thus the reason babies after number 2 have no baby books and very few baby pictures.
I had 8 none fast. None! I had one c-section for my 3rd he passed away due to an undiagnosed heart defect. Then my last 5 we needed help getting pregnant. I have PCOS. I had vbac for all my other 5. Even the one I had to be induced. My last stubborn little boy on his due date.
@@cooperfreckles - Oh my you should get an award. Mother’s Day is coming up, certainly hope you get all the love and respect you deserve!
@@joytoyouandme4593 She will - Brad adores her! 🌼
Best of luck and love to you Rachel!!! Can't wait to see those girls!!!🌷💕🌷💕🙏🙏
Glad you went in! I had preeclampsia with my youngest. It can be scary. You've got this! So close now!
Laughing cause I know we are a week off in videos but screaming at you to uncross you’re legs in the hospital lol not good with that swelling 🤦🏻♀️😜👵🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You both look very calm and can still joke with each other. It doesn’t help anything when you panic. Take it day by day and prepare for everything. 🥰
Why don't you lay down no kids, no camera and REST . You need to calm down and get someone to help, don't bring things on
I am so glad everything is ok for now! Babies stay put until at least 36 weeks. Your poor feet look so painful!!
I think she said Thurs she would be 36 weeks!!
Prayers for u and your family from Illinois
Ohhhhh Rachel
U have done so well !!!!
U total have rocked it being pregnant with twins
Best of luck 🤞 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Prayers coming out
It amazes me how many are still telling Rachel to go on bed rest. She was specifically told no bed rest as it can cause blood clots. Please stop giving unwarranted and incorrect medical advice.
Praying everything goes well. Bless you and your family. ❤ ❤
I did wonder because of all the swelling
Trust your body Rachel. I had pre-eclampsia with my 3rd son. He was born at 36 weeks as my waters broke in bed with meconium in it. Born by c-section safety. Spent time in NICU. Hr is now a healthy 11 year old. All my love and prayers. Xx
Poor Rach.. those swollen ankles and feet are no joke. I had swelling with my pregnancies too..It takes it’s toll when you are only five feet tall (I am) Rach is petite as well. So excited to see the new babies.
@ Julie Bowers; According to the title of this vlog Rach is 34 weeks. She will turn 35 weeks this Thursday May 5, unless this is a delayed vlog.
My daughter is going tomorrow to possibly have my grand baby. Her bp is 161/110! I've been really worried. I had my daughter when I was 16 so we have grown up together really!
PRAYERS LIFTED🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻 GOD’S GOT YA RACHEL🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻🕊👑🙌🏻🌹♥️
My heart goes out to you and your husband this is just the beginning of having fun
Praying for u and the babies, I had the same problem with both my pregnancies. Congratulations can't wait to see the new baby girls and hope everything goes great.
Rachel I sure as heck hope you weren’t taking your blood pressures racing around your house like it appeared! My goodness mine was elevated just watching you. This is probably too late to post, from one medication taking anxiety person to the other, try and just sit back and take care. Your poor ankles do look like a disaster but the urine protein findings were perfect. If these babies aren’t here yet I hope you find a way to get some adult company and try and talk thru these horrible anxiety filled days while getting the rest you need. I know I know for a anxious person not a easy task!
I can’t believe you’ve made it this far so fast. Yes you need to slow down dear lady. I know high BP. 260/130. Not typo! But I’m old. You’ve got so much going on, you must let others help you. You’re gonna be very busy in a couple of shakes. You’re doing the right thing. Stay calm and soldier on for the beautiful kids and wonderful Brad! 😊🌷❤️🌹
My twins were eight weeks early and I totally understand the swelling! You don't think your belly can expand further or the swelling get worse. My babies are 24 yrs old now!
My bp has always been a little on the higher side, but I've always been over weight. But when I was pregnant with my son at 18 (now 31 and on bp meds) my bp was pretty decent for the most part. Around my 8th month I started swelling, it was pretty bad. I told my doctors I was swelling and they like naw, you're find. I went to my first one week appointment and got sent to the hospital. One of the doctors at the practice was like you will have a baby tonight. I was like what do you mean I still have over 3 weeks left. And he was like I'll put it to you this way, you won't leave the hospital til you have him. The highest I know my bp got was 188/122. I was in the hospital all together 5 days. I got put in June 5th. The doctor that delivered me 18 years before actually delivered my son. The day he induced me he asked me if he sent me home on bed rest would I stay on it. I looked at him with a straight face and asked him did he want the truth or a lie, this was June 7th. I was already going crazy cause I wasn't suppose to get out of bed unless I was going to the bathroom cause every time I did my bp sky rocketed. So when I asked him that he said I was getting induced. He broke my water about 3:30 pm on June 7th and I had him at 6:11 am June 8th. But I did have to start pushing before I was at a 10 cause my bp was going up again and he didn't want to have to do a c-section on me. Later that day I was put in ICU and put on magnesium to keep me from having g seizures. I left June 10th and my son left NICU June 17th. So I know how you feel Rach. It's soooo uncomfortable and scary. My lips was even purple at one point.
Love and prayers being sent for you all to be safe with whatever happens 💕💕
Hey Annie
Awesome news!! Prayers for you and that you get everything done and can hold them in for longer 💖💖
💝💝 C O U N T I N G. T H E. MOMENTS !!! 💝💝
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💝💝
Prayers for the next few weeks
Great trial run...glad the babies aren’t quiet ready ! 💕🙏
PRAYING NOW
This is getting bad. I wake up in the morning and check RUclips and Instagram to see how Rach is doing. I can't start my day without checking. lol I started to volunteer to baby sit the kids, but I live too far away.
I'm sorry, but your leg itself is enough of a reason to deliver. You OB is ridiculous, she's going to mess around and cause injury to you or one of your babies. I know from your insta you haven't delivered yet, they are playing seriously bad games with your health and the health of your babies!!
So glad you both are together during this! And very smart to be prepared since you currently are not as close to the hospital. Praying everything goes well 🙏👶👶❣
Hello
I can't beleive your doctors and MW have let you go so long with swollen legs and feet.
They know what they’re doing
Rachel you should uncross your legs as that is not helping with the leg swelling. Praying for healthy Mom and babies.
Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well just take one day at time love your family love from Eugenie your friend xxx 💓🌟👍
Do we need to start calling you Rachel Anklebarts?
Rachel, please stay in the hospital. I had it and it was terrible scary for me. Listen to the doctors.
Can I be nosey how long do you breastfeed your babies for only managed 3 months .
Glad that you are able to keep the girls in a bit longer. Get your bags packed and finish up all the things that you can. Prayers 🙏 love From your Indiana Friend.
God is in control! He has you wrapped in his loving arms. So.now. you can go home and hang out. We love y'all.
Praying for yall 🙏
Rach I had Rh problems with my son and had 3 intrauterine transfusions. While getting the 4th transfusion my baby had enough so 3 days later at 32 weeks pregnant I delivered via c-section my beautiful son. He weighed 4 lbs 8 oz and came home 11 days later. He is now 35 years old. Hang tough Doll. God and your doctors have you.
Rach you have got this i believe that god doesnt send us more than we can handle. Breathe trust yourself and the drs.
He does ALL. THE. TIME.
Such a exciting and stressful time! Prayers
Sending you big hugs
Delivery is the only treatment for pre eclampsia.
This month is preeclampsia awareness. My youngest daughter had her daughter at 26 weeks due to preeclampsia. My granddaughter weighed 1lb 6oz and was 12 inches long. She spent 118 days in the NICU and is 5 now and is thriving. She weighs 30 lbs now I believe. She’s amazing. My daughter was told that she would be a high risk to have other children and they wouldn’t recommend it.
Well you did predict you would not go full term.
I’m so glad that you are better!
Swelling can cause the skin to weep.
OH GEESH! I had just taken a big sip of Soda when Rach said "you should be rolling a bugger". I almost lost it.
That high number was definitely high, plus more importantly like you said "high for you". You are right the cure for Preeclampsia is delivering the babies, not bed rest. So glad you went and got it checked out, better safe than sorry.
I had to lay down while the hospital was trying to get my blood pressure under control (not pregnancy related) with meds. My numbers were through the roof, and I had fluid build up around my heart. It took the hospital a couple of days to get my blood pressure under control.
We are 🙏 praying I actually got Post clampsia after having my son
Oh my those feet and ankles. Wow
I gained 37 lbs with my first. 25% was water weight gain. At my six week checkup l lost 39lbs. All l did was sweat it off those six weeks. It was kinda gross! Iol
Wow, that’s amazing. I gained 23 pounds and had lost 25 at 6 weeks, but your leaps and bounds ahead of me.
I hope Rachel will have some good help for a few weeks after babies are born so she can get some recovery time. Trying to remember how much postnatal time Brad gets off, I think it’s a good amount.
Oh my I remember being swollen like that with my first son. It is no fun. My feet looked like balloons and my toes like sausages. Hang in there a little longer! 💕🙏
Praying for you Rach!
Dear sweet ones. God's in control and he's got you. Hugs and kisses and prayers for you all.
u all watch next blog babies will be here .
I am sure you are feeling overwhelmed. And get them here safe and sound.
You have been doing a lot
Hope everything goes well , what a trooper with all the swelling your having Rachel., I feel for you.❤️
Cute shirt Rachel
Glad things turned out for the best ! :)
Two of my daughters had preeclampsia! One delivered at 28 weeks! One just a few days early! My baby granddaughter (born 28 week gestation) has been in NICU since her birth four months ago! She is a cutie and a fighter! My grandson is 6 months!
Congratulations . I hope that your Grandbaby gets to go home soon.
💐🌼🌸
Prayers for you and the babies!
I am Praying for you .
Uncross ankles! Bed rest,stay off feet!
You’re not her doctor!
@@dearleah7299 How do you know?? I’m a Labor/ delivery nurse Don’t be critical of my advice unless you know me
@@susanworrell8141 her doctor wouldn’t be in the comments of her RUclips videos giving her medical advice. 🤦♀️ You’re in here telling her bedrest and her actual doctor who knows her is telling her the opposite. Leave it to someone that actually knows her and her current health status.
I appreciate your humor amidst a hard situation. “Yeah it’s Rachel, with the giant ankles” gave me a good laugh
❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️ for you all and those sweet Angels. I can’t wait to meet them.
I have never had heart issues. But after a cold in the fall that went to my heart I went into heart failure but didn't know it.. swelling in legs/feet I couldn't bend my legs.. or breathe... I was in hospital for 4 days dec 26 threw new years .. abd lots of new meds to help heart heal...
Praying you make it to 36 weeks! Glad you can be home. Praying you get moved in BEFORE the babies come!
My daughter (25yrs) just had her first baby a week ago and she ended up with Postpartum Preeclampsia. She doing so much better now. I hope you can make it to your delivery date. I’ll be praying for you and the babies.
Oh my heck! I had preeclampsia with both of my pregnancies (in the 80s) and they put me on bed rest!! The baby and/ or I could've died!!! Prayers for no more issues with this pregnancy! Hugs to all! 🤗🤗🙏🙏
Poor Rach. So sorry you have cankles That’s when you have no ankle just calves. I know that hurts. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and my hands swell. I can barely bend my fingers. I hate it. God bless you and all your babies. Outside and inside of your belly!
Are baby's will be close in age I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant due may 24th with are rainbow baby plus surprise gender 🥰💕 praying for u and babies for a smooth healthy delivery
Your baby tummy is gorgeous! In hospital bed! You look super great and are so fortunate to carry twins being as petite as you are. So thankful it didn’t turn out to be preeclampsia. The girls are reminding you of the days ahead, getting up at night, breast feeding two, now just add three helpers. Rach you are a pro at carrying twins. They should be fine if born this early.. How much are they anticipated to weigh? My guess is five pounds and a few ounces each. My tummy looked like yours on third pregnancy. He was ten pound 22 inches long and born day after due date. Love, prayers, and hugs for the big day coming. Question, have you thought about the twins having a present for the other three when you bring them home? Wonderful idea for new sisters to have gift for each child. Calms the jealouyness. It was done iN my family and I repeated with each birth. Lyndell and Eloise will be happy with a baby doll. Might check into doll that takes a bottle or food and then wets diaper.” Lyndell will be so excited. A piece of baby equipment for Eloise, a baby doll carrier would be great.
Here’s to an easy delivery. Lots of love!💕🌷💐💗🧑🏽
Oh Rachel , so excited for you ♥️👍🏻Your twins must be good size ! You certainly can carry the babies. Praise God 🙏. If you have the babies , Happy Birthing 🎊🍾🎈🎉
i had preeclampsia with my last baby glad you went in ...im surprised they just havent taken girls out especally at 34 weeks safer out if mom BP up what my dr said ....
Annoy wait to see your beautiful girls……GoodLuck…..
You should buy some crocs…..more comfortable than I thought they’d be and not horribly $$$
Nurse Betty here!! Rachel your a pro!! You trust your medical staff. I know that you will rock this!! Love and Prayers! Oh and hug for you both!!💞
I was a nursery nurse. Labor and delivery etc for 17 yrs. Many but not all babies were able to go to be monitored in the normal nursery at delivery. Like I said not all but most of the 35 weepers that went to the nicu spent a few days there. But steroids wouldn’t be a bad idea. Bed rest can help if your labs and urine are normal. Bed rest never hurts.
Oh Rach you are so precious! Those feet/legs look incredibly uncomfortable. I was hoping the hospital would put TED stockings on you & give you some sequentials for a few hours with a catheter to get rid of the swelling & literally make you rest for 4-6 hours. The sequentials would negate blood clot concerns because they are literally moving the pressure in your legs for you. I think if it’s your taped leg that’s more swollen since the tape was applied, I would take that off too. When you’re taking your own blood pressure, try to sit down quietly for 5 mins first, with your arms both equal in position in comparison to your heart (ie don’t have the BP arm up higher). Take slow deep breaths in your nose & out of your mouth. Any rest you do have, try to elevate your feet right up from under your knees first to your feet & another pillow cushion under the natural curve of your back but your head elevated the most. I know it’s extremely difficult to lay on your back but with knees & feet right up, back support & elevated head you should be OK. Incontinence pads to wee in & change regularly as the fluid leaves via your bladder would also be extremely useful. If you get a headache & swelling ANYWHERE else please go back to the hospital immediately. Pre-eclampsia that turns into eclampsia is life threatening. Take very good care of yourself 💞
Trust God’s plan for you and the babies take your peace and don’t fear the future it’ll be okay 👍 we pray for you all every day blessings from England 🏴
There’s a reason why God made your parents you get an a in my book you are so good with children you’re gonna be just fine you’re gonna have healthy babies because you are a baby incubator you have the best body for it you’re just so little and so there’s no room for the babies to grow now but I’ll come when they’re ready I have my father’s hand will be guiding you I love you guys your family so great don’t listen to the naysayers they don’t know what they’re talking about
159/100 not pregnant. 🤣👍 now on blood pressure meds for Eva !
I had preclampsia with my daughter and ended up having her on due date...sending positive thoughts and prayers for you and the babies!!
Oh Rachel your poor ankles, very best of luck with getting car seats, your bags packed and moved in to the Villa before you have the babies. Lyndle smiles just like you, really noticed it when you were standing 'in civilian clothes' lol and saying its best case scenario. take care and accept all offers of help from family, so you get to your goal. You are an amazing woman and mom Rachel and with Brad besides you - what a team xx
When taking your blood pressure you should be sitting quietly. I’m sure your amazing family will step up and help with the children Rachel and you should be listening to your doctors. Thinking of you and can’t wait to meet the new girls.
I was going to ask you about pre eclampsia. As I looked like you. I had pre eclampsia. BP 200/100 spilling protein. Only cure for pre eclampsia is delivery. My son was born at 31 weeks. Hopefully all is well and if you have 2 news princesses all will be well. Prayers and hugs ❤
Rachel I think it every time I watch and never comment though.
I can not get over just how beautiful you are and how soothing your voice is! ♥️
Your poor feet look like mine did 40 years ago. Pre eclampsic that was me. Baby next day but I was over due. Prayers.
Things have changed so much. I had pre eclampsia with my 1st nearly 40years ago. I was on bedrest in the hospital for 4 weeks. They tried inducing 4 times, the 4th time they got fetal distress with my 1st contraction. Emergency c-section full term on her due date. I had a tiny 5lb 4oz little girl. Fine with my 2nd daughter she was 2 weeks early by c-section 6lbs 8oz. My 3rd i started to develope pre eclampsia again at 36 weeks so they delivered him 7lbs 7 oz. They thought he may even have been eager than 36 weeks as he had no suck reflex and no eye lashes or eyebrows. After a couple of hours he was fine, no nice in our tiny community hospital. We went home in 5 days. So many changes now.
Preeclampsia both pregnancies and I was put on bed rest both times. For me, it did not work, the protein in my urine went higher and they admitted for continued stay on bed rest in the hospital with 4 different blood pressure medications that all did not work and the final medication they put me on was Macrobid. When it got to that point and 2 weeks in the hospital, they decided Caesarean was the only option. The swelling in my ankles never really went away after that. Now I'm 45 and still deal with swelling in my ankles all the time.
I’m sure it was just over a year ago when Brad was like no more babies. But here you are. God is good all of the time. God Bless at this precious time. 💕
Prayers and hugs
The swelling is unbelievable! I had swelling with my son who has a July bday. That has got to be so uncomfortable.
I am hoping and praying all is and will be well for you and the babies. It might help if you lie down and prop your lower legs up a full 12+" above the top of your chest for about 20 minutes every couple of hours and especially before you go to bed. Trust me, this will really help. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
