I don't want to be a misery guts, because I am truly so very blessed and so very grateful to be pregnant with our miracle babies, and I'd do this all again tomorrow to be having these babies - without question - but I've hit a brick wall. Been up most of the night in pain and had a cry this morning.
It's getting so hard to do anything at all, and the pain is really intense. My legs, ankles, feet, hands and face are permanently swollen, my pelvic bone feels like it's going to snap like a twig, all of my bones hurt when walking like my back, shoulders, and knees. I have a lot of pressure in my pelvis and in my rectum from one of my babies head being fully engaged, and at times I have to sit on an angle as the pain from the pressure of sitting directly on my bottom is intense. Laying down is a whole other level of pain. My tummy is so heavy and tight, I feel sorry for my precious babies as I don't think they've got any room left to move
. My tummy is measuring the equivalent of 45 weeks pregnant.
These last few weeks are a true test of physical and mental strength. I know I am so close, only 17 days left, but at this point it feels like 17 years away. I am so proud that my body is pulling through and cooking some healthy babies, but I am honestly in so much pain at this point that its hard to see the end of this pregnancy nearing. Final growth scan in 48 hours and then appointment with my obstetrician on Friday at 35 weeks for a check up. Hoping time passes by quickly for the next two & half weeks. We are so ready to meet you little babies, just a few weeks left. As excited as I am to meet them, and as much as I want my health back, I know they are in the best possible care in my belly, and each additional day I manage to keep them in there is a blessing.
Hope you ladies are well and had an enjoyable weekend xx
