twin mamas to be when are you due and what/who are you having?

Forums New posts
I worked until 32 weeks. At that point the commute was getting too hard for me as was waking up early and getting dressed ha. I was also in the middle of a move though so nay have contributed to the exhaustion. I probably could have worked until 34 in hindsight, but after 34 I just want to sleep all day. Both babies are head down for me so adding a lot of pressure as well!
 
OMG this twin pregnancy thing is no joke!

Went to Babies R Us to get last minute things so I can finally get my bags packed, we were there about an hour and I had to sit down twice during that time. I then had to go sit in the car while DH stood in line and paid, I was sweating from the pain I was in and I'm still in soo soo sooo much pain!
 
I totally understand! I always sit in the gliders for a little bit to rest. Any type of walking/shopping hurts my lower back so bad. This week my entire pelvis has been hurting...I can barely move around to clean up the kitchen at this point. These babies are just so heavy!
Doc said she wouldn't be surprised if both babies have gained a pound (that would put them at 6lbs). She said I'm starting to look like a triplet belly bc they are getting so big, which she is very happy with. It measured 48cm...12 weeks ahead! However, my cervix is still closed up nice and tight. It amazes me my body is holding them in there still!
 
This is definitely the hardest thing I ever had to do, I feel like death today, I have had a painful headache since Wednesday morning, no relief from Tylenol or the stuff my OB prescribed with codeine in it. I read that some caffeine can usually help with the pain so I will be trying that, its safer than the codeine in terms of my babies safety.

I feel like absolute crap, I sit on the toilet and brush my teeth, I battle to shop as well, luckily we got a few things, its just my hospital bag that needs to get sorted. I just wish I could get some energy. Babies are really kicking as well, starting to poke out my tummy, don't know if its a foot or a butt or what?

You ladies have done so well getting so far, I feel like I am so far from the end today :(
 
:hugs: Some days were harder than others towards the end, and I wish I could say it gets easier.... but either way it isn't forever. Just take it one day at a time, every day your babies are in there is great, and once they are out you will forget all about how hard it was. :hugs:
 
Thanks for all the advice ladies! Hope you are all okay coming into the home stretch! Sounds like a lot of aches and pains are in my future haha! But just remember you're almost done and it will be sooo very worth it! Hugs and well wishes for you all!
 
Can't wait to see the next bunch of twins to be born
 
Ibelieveitwil-If you have a headache that won't go away, you might want to call your doc just in case...that's a sign of preeclampsia and that's nothing to mess around with!
My doc told me to take tylenol, if that doesn't work take tylenol and have some caffeine. If that still doesn't work, come in.

I've been sitting in a fold out chair to get ready for a while now lol Shopping takes real motivation and I usually bring someone with me if I can, just makes me feel better. I have this big long to-do list with cleaning and all sorts of things...I'm lucky if I get one thing done a day!

It's so fun when they really start poking things out! I love watching their little alien movements lol Don't worry, I feel like after I hit 30 weeks, things have really gone by pretty quickly. You'll be where we are before you know it!

Me either! lol I feel like we had several at once and now there's a lag...I'm pretty much ready for mine to be here. I want to see what they look like!
 
Thanks Jury, I definitely called my doctor after it refused to go away, he had me test my bp which was really good 101/64 so ended up just taking Tylenol. Dh gave me a good massage last night which seemed to have helped, so the headache is slowly subsiding.

Back pain has started though :(
 
Glad your bp was good! I'm just so paranoid about pre-e lol Glad your headache is letting up as well...
Back pain sucks! Mine wasn't horrible until after 30 weeks. Usually after I've been on my feet for a long time. Now I'm starting to get pressure in lower back and pretty sure I've had a few contractions...not fun. I just have to keep reminding myself I only have a little bit longer...lol
 
Here's a question....baby dreams

I don't have them all the time but I've had a few and everytime I dream about them, in my dream my mind makes reference to the fact I have twins but I never ever see both babies in a dream. I always see one or the other and even though I know I have twins the other baby isn't around. Anyone else have dreams like this? It's so weird. Like my brain can't yet comprehend fully two babies at once! Lol
 
I actually had my first dream the other night where they were both there. Even this one I had her and laid her on the bed next to me, then picked him up and he was asking me about boob milk...lol I've had a few where I would have one and then forget that the other was still in there...that was a weird one. I'd say that's pretty normal.
 
Grayson and Olivia will be here tomorrow! I had some spots in my vision fri night so I've been keeping an eye out for other pre-e symptoms since. Last night I had some pain in my upper right stomach I thought might be indigestion but can also be a sign. Today I had the lightest headache that would come and go, never took meds or anything bc it wasn't that bad. Around 5, I had something weird with my vision again (a line off to the side that wouldn't go away for several minutes). So I told DW we should go to L&D just incase.
My bp was slightly elevated (140s/90s when normal is 120s/70s). They tested bloods and said they were a little off. So, they called my doc and she suggested we do our c-section at 7am tomorrow. So I'm stuck in L&D all night hooked up to monitors. They'll check bloods again at 1:30am to make sure it doesn't get crazy.
Luckily I get to eat one more time. My mom is on her way and should be here soon. I'm nervous as he'll lol I was like "I'm not ready to have kids!" Lol DW went home to take care of dogs and get our bags and everything together.
Anyway, wish us luck! I'll post pics as soon as I'm up to it!
 
Wow exciting !!! Good luck tomorrow. It will be amazing meeting your babies for the first time.
 
Good luck tomorrow jury,so exciting you'll see your babies very soon :)
 
Good luck!

I've had a tough week. I've had to go to the hospital every other day to get IV fluids because if I eat anything other than crackers and ginger ale I end up with vomiting and diarrhea and the most painful cramps in the world.

Both babies are head down though so we're set to try for a vaginal delivery. I will be induced on the 26th or 27th, right after I'm 37 weeks.
