34 weeks and just wanna be done!!!

[katrus78]

We are being discharged today in the evening! Babies are well, and I am ok too. I wanted to thank you guys again for all the support and advices you have given me in the past few weeks. I will still hang around though, as I am sure I will have many questions down the road about raising twins

Little update. Feet even more swollen, now I can't bend my toes up without feeling like feet are going to pop open. And now I have noticed the dents in my feet from the slippers! Or if I put one foot on top of the other, and leave it there for a few minutes, it leaves a big dent in my foot. Wow.

I have managed to have bowel movements, twice today, thanks to the milk of magnesia!!!! They have been giving me stool softeners but it didnt make me actually go. So if anyone is looking for stuff that gently relieves constipation, the formula is: stool softners + milk of magnesia! I feel so much better now

Also, finally a lactation specialist came by and showed me that I do have colostrum in both my breasts!!! It did give me the encouragement to keep trying to breastfeed, and I think I made some progress!!

Thank you, hun! It's my bad, I didn't do the "this is it thread"!

just a heads up my swelling was like that too and it took about 3 weeks for it to completely go away so i guess it's normal. but if they get more than that achy pressure pain and get really painful get them checked out.

So nice your doing so well so far. being a twin mom is such a great experience your going to love it.

and love the pics of the girls they are so adorable.

Glad the bf is going better.

Sucks about the swollen feet, I'm so hoping mine go back to normal when the babies arrive, but maybe not...

Hey Hun, I didn't get swollen feet/ankles during any of my pregnancies, BUT I did get it 24hrs after the section. Doc explained that it is common but temporary after section, and sure enough it had vanished within a few days. If yours were already swollen then e op has likely added to it. Once you move around a bit more it should ease xxx

So far, the swelling is the same. I will update how long it took for the swelling to go away.
We stayed home for the first night. Not much sleep, gotta tell you.

Congratulations!!
What a relief that everyone is doing great...so happy to hear that! What part of Chicago are you from? I live in Northwest Indiana so not very far away.

I know I should be wishing to have my girls baking for another couple of weeks, but I just can't take this anymore! I am just so uncomfortable, and I still work full time while I can barely walk, thanks to SPD! I am not a big whiner usually, but I am just so so so tired now! I want my body back!
Rant over.

Don't feel bad. Around 34 weeks I also wanted my girls out!! 35 weeks I went into labor and the doctor stopped the labor with medication and I almost attacked him!!!! I was 35 weeks they were fine and huge by the way. 36 weeks and 6 days my blood pressure was so high so I was admitted to the hospital. They got it under control and were going to send me home!!!! I HAD A FIT AND STARTED CRYING AND WITHIN 2 HOURS I HAD A C-SECTION!!! My doctor told my mom he delivered me bc I cried. Well come on DR. CRACK HEAD!! I was pretty much 37 weeks pregnant with 7 pound twins!!!!!!!!! And you were going to hold me off!!!! You will have your girls before you know it. Hang in there.
