Well it's certainly nice being in the 3rd trimester! I only have about 9 weeks left for my twins to show up. Looking forward to meeting them! Thankful that we finally have names picked out. Cuinntin Aeneas Ozzy, and Jaetin David Lynn. Although we are keeping the names secret from the rest of our family.

I've been testing my Sugar due to GD and everything has been great. I didn't even change my diet in any way, and my numbers have still been great.

I was sleeping great until the last 2 nights and now I toss and turn all night. Very annoying!

OMG these freaking muscle cramps in my legs while im sleeping. Usually i can work it out like a normal person in ten seconds... Not last night. It went on for like fifteen minutes.. I couldnt make it stop. It felt like my muscle was about to rip apart quite literally. From behind my knee cap alll the way to my ankle.. And anything i did only made it worse. I was screaming like i was being murdered.. Dh had to help force me to work it out. At one point he yelled at me telling me to shut up.. Lol so this morning it was a big joke.. I told him hes going to be terrible support when i go into labour and ya know what he says? 'Well i was sleeping, you woke me up ' lol like wtf you think i wanted this pain? And you think ill get a choice whn i go into labour? Lol

Now today im exhausted because i was terrified of going back to sleep thinking it would happen again.

I had a charlie horse a few nights ago. It was horrible! My husband went into massage mode and got it worked out. Now I try and stretch my legs out before bed. I haven't had any more since.

What happened at your appointment? Did you get a date?

Charlie horses are the worst. I get them about once every two weeks.I had one last yyesterday and my leg is sore today. I find that maneuvering my foot into a flat position (like when you are standing on the ground) it stops it. The Charlie horse pulls my foot into a "tip toe" type position. It's so weird how much it hurts.

Regarding leg cramps - pointing your toes is the natural reaction to it but makes it a hell of a lot worse!! Pull your foot the other way so your lengthening your calf muscles instead and it will stop hurting sooner xx

This wouldnt e en work for me the other night lol nothing was working.. Any which way made it so much worse

So that appointment did not exactly go as planned...

Babys tummy measurement has dropped from the 32 percentile to the 10th. I am having another scan in a week to see if baby has grown or if there is a problem. CTG and scan next week and then I see the head consultant. Trying not to Google or freak out but its very scary.

They are concerned that I am at massive risk of blood clots with being immobile so am now having to give myself injections daily. Did the first one on my own this morning - not helping my hatred of needles!!!

I will be having a c section but don't know when and didn't even end up discussing tubal ligation

My head is a mess right now

 

[apreslaube]

I'm sorry crazymumma you had a bad appointment. We're his other measurements ok? I didn't know tummy was a big deal...

 

[Aliop]

CM fingers crossed all is well and you are just baking a little bub

 

[GingerPanda]

Sending love, hon. I hope all turns out well. That's scary, for sure!



My first ever baby shower is today! I'm excited! I am also excited to be going back home tomorrow, as I miss my husband very much. Been spending the week with my family in Nashville where I grew up.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I have been so bad at updating lately. I am having some bad back and pelvic pain and haven't been sitting at my computer, and I find posting from my phone to be awkward.

The boys are continuing to thrive and still measuring 1 week ahead. Twin A still had the echogenic spot on his bowel at my ultrasound last week which may be a Meconium Peritonitis/ Meconium Illeus, but because he is growing well and the spot is staying more or less the same my doctor feels it is best to keep him cooking and continue to monitor him every 3 weeks with an ultrasound. I also have NST and exams at the hospital weekly now.

My goal is 37 weeks now, if I make it to that then I can deliver at my local hospital. If I go any earlier I will have to be flown to the closest hospital with a NICU which is about 430km away, so that would understandably be a great disruption to our lives.

I am happy to be having no real complications except for a lot of body pain, which is understandable as I am huge! Measuring 41 weeks fundal height at my last appointment. So I am as big as an overdue singleton pregnancy even though I have only just entered 3rd trimester.

Reading other people's posts I realise I must be quite lucky-I'm still managing a full night of undisturbed sleep. I'm at the loo every 20 mind during the day but for some reason I don't wake in the night for the loo. Once my toddler goes to sleep at 9-9.30 pm (she goes to bed far too late for a 2 year old) I'm out like a light until she comes toddling through to say good morning at around 7 am! I starting to feel fatigue again during the day but have gone into fully blown nesting mode and keep over doing it at the weekendand evenings (I'll be working 4 days until 2 weeks before my due date). Today I've bagged up all my toddler's clothes which are too small, taken a load of stuff to charity, deep cleaned the kitchen and cleaned the nursery ready to get small clothes out again. Also caught up on thelaundry mountain. Oh yes, and just bought a window vac so been doing all the inside windows and anything else I think it'll work on!

I am sleeping like a log too this time! My kids all go to bed at 7pm and come 8pm I am in bed too lol I have been attributing my solid sleeping to no resting/napping through the day just go, go, go haha!

 

[apreslaube]

Oh man. I haven't slept through the night in weeks. I get up just once or twice to use the bathroom. Last night when I woke up my lower back was hurting so bad. I almost woke up husband to have him rub it. It hurts when I go to bed. I am having a really hard time getting comfortable for sleep, even with the maternity pillow. I'm just achy.

So I'm going for a promotion at work. My boss and her boss have not kept it secret basically since I started that they want me to move into this position. Unfortunately noone was expecting the position to open now. I've been at the company since September. I'm honestly not sure what will happen - my short time here plus upcoming 3 months off really don't bode well. I don't know if they would pick one of my coworkers just to get the position filled or if they would feel I'm worth the wait. I really want to move up.

 

[tallybee]

I've not had a full night sleep in forever lol x

 

[CrazyMumma]

I wish I could sleep! I get a couple of hours of broken sleep at best. Yay for spd!
