Also I ALWAYS want to hear that everything is normal. Wth?

pfarmand

What's qfp

pfarmand

Not when it does consist pain, and discomfort .. I'm 32 weeks with di/di twins

LaxMOM44

Yes even when it's consistent pain and discomfort. I didn't sign on for a spa day, I signed up for allthethings that come with pregnancy and yes that includes discomfort. It's 2 effing months and you get a baby at the end, or in your case two!

Ooooh @alissendis‌ we got told!

I'm confused as to the point of this post, then. Did you just want to complain about being uncomfortable?

Umm you said you didn't want to hear that pain was normal, so that would mean you wanted your pain to be a SS situation, also you clearly indicated in your OP that you thought your twins would be coming sooner. Pardon us that we inferred that you thought this pain was early labour and that you were disappointed when your doctor told you that it wasn't.

Negativity? Who's being negative? The one whining about having to carry her twins full term with some discomfort or the one amazed at how flippantly you wished this pain was early labour.

Not the right place to complain that you're not in PTL. The goal isn't your comfort. Motherhood will be hard, too. Harder than your misery right now, so you might want to learn to be uncomfortable for a few more weeks for the sake of your babies health.

 

riansmommie

Yeah.... Not sure what you were hoping for in response to your post. Suck it up we are all uncomfortable, we just don't all start individual posts saying woe is me. You get no pity from me.

JRod13

I personally am praying to make it to 32 weeks. So yea, your bullshit complaining rubs me the wrong way. Suck it up buttercup and be THANKFUL that your babies are causing you discomfort as opposed to laying up in the NICU. I'll take all the discomfort in the damn world if it gives my kid a better chance once he's on the outside. Whine and do whatever, but to be upset about your pregnancy progressing normally is some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Ever.

Eta- autocorrect

Shortstack06

I am a FTM, compared to some of the ladies on this board my pregnancy has been a breeze. I would never try to insult them by saying something like you have. You said if you have nothing nice to say, well your post had nothing nice to say and was insensitive. So maybe you should move along.

hellopartyof5

Honestly this is just sad. Some of those November superhero babies are now angel babies - and you have the audacity to wish you were in labor to get rid of discomfort? Shame.

CandEChicago

You do know labor is more uncomfortable and painful than Braxton Hicks, correct?

Hahahaha that's what I was thinking. She is so screwed if Braxton hicks are too uncomfortable for her to bear.

A lot.... A LOT of women have been experiencing consistent Braxton hicks since earlier than 20 weeks. I get it, pregnancy is uncomfortable but reread your posts.

You are upset your Braxton hicks are normal? I have an appt in about and hour with fx that they will tell me my Braxton hicks are normal and not PTL. I just want to know that they ARE normal so that I can stop having panic attacks at the though of going into labor at 33 weeks.

@amw0914‌ - please keep us updated.

JRod13

Yes @amw0914‌ - keep us updated. FX that everything is ok.

Also: (ETA: I recognize having multiples is no walk in the park), but I'd be EXTREMELY cross at you right now if I had dealt with infertility, were PGAL, or lost my own child in the process and still hanging out on this board. Even though I'm not in any of those categories, I will take the discomforts of the third trimester gladly. Your original post came across as very insensitive in that light, and ironically, very negative in that light.

And if you had the further insensitivity to criticize me for being negative whilst calling you out in these cases, G_d help you. I don't anger easily, but when you tick me off, my anger would be like balefire.

2nd edit to fix typos.

ALL OF THIS! Between my losses (including of a twin with this pregnancy) and infertility, it was so hard to read this post. I actually deleted 1/2 of my original post because it was a little much. Or maybe it wasn't?

LaxMOM44

Warning potential trigger in last paragraph:

Ok OP I realize you think I am just a cranky bitch that doesn't get your pain. First of all, I've been through labour and I know what's coming and I can tell you right now suck it up.

If you can't understand the idiocy of your complaining that your normal Braxton hicks weren't real contractions, please read the high risk checkin a few threads down. It's an eye opener.

Then read some of the posts from moms desperate to get even one more day of baby cooking.

Try to understand how lucky you are to have inside babies that are still growing and healthy.

Do you honestly think Braxton hicks are more painful than watching your 4 lb preemie through the plastic cover in NICU? Just honestly, there's your dose of reality.

Edited: add trigger warning

HEY GUESS WHAT:

My Braxton hicks are normal, too. But I'm glad unlike you.

Yay for normal Braxton hicks and for that epic use of turd ferguson gif.

leoandethansmom

As someone who just passed a milestone last week (PTL with my first at 32 weeks and now I'm 33 with no official PTL yet) I find your whiny post very annoying. Does my back hurt? Yup. Do I get BH all day every day? Yup. Am I happy that I still have these pains and not heartbreaking ones with a premie? Hell yes. Ok, bye now.

I remember when our biggest problem was 'am I going to throw up?'

Or when am I going to get my appetite back again? 

ColeyCannoli

Is this really just someone trying to be whiny about her healthy pregnancy? After we had a premie post just a page back? And all the high risk moms and those on bed rest... Gods, this made my blood boil. OP, you need to get some fucking perspective. "Everything is normal" is the best thing anyone could hear when pregnant, especially with twins.

How did you think we'd respond to this?

aksue22

I fall into the "infertile" category. I have aches and pains, too, but I feel so incredibly lucky for so many reasons. So as many times as I hurt, have to prick my goddamn finger or can't poop, this is still the happiest times of my life because I'm having a baby. My friend had premature twins and it was such a scary experience for her. They were so tiny and had to remain on oxygen for quite a while after birth. I just want my little girl to be healthy, and that takes as long as it takes.

@bowlwoman always good for a WoT reference!

WoT is the bomb.

And OP: I'm on my third high-risk pregnancy and I'm AMA to boot. You don't get to whine about a healthy twin pregnancy. We get it. The third trimester sucks balls. Guess what? It does for everyone.

@Hufflepuff42‌ I did read that post. I understand people have it worse than me. And I am very lucky bc I've been to a doc who said I couldn't get pregnant, I did have a miscarriage and now I have a healthy baby. I understand why people are enraged at the post of me complaining. But I have a right to complain. I have a right to not like it at the moment. And I'm I said in an earlier comment that if it offended them that much to just keep scrolling. And I don't feel like I have anything to be sorry for because I was posting my opinion and what i was going through. I'm just waiting on the mod to delete my account so no more of these women get offended. And I'm sorry for any of the women who have to constantly worry about their baby comin out healthy. That's not what I was getting at all. So I do have my "perspective"

You see though, you are new. You appeared out of thin air.  There have been women on here since BFP and have been lending advice and an "ear" for those going through hard times. What makes you think that those women want to "support" you because you decide to appear and want to complain about how miserable you feel?  Where is the justification there? I don't walk up to a stranger and complain about how the baby kicks my boobs or who-ha. They ask how I am feeling, I smile and say I feel pretty well, thanks for asking.  Everyone on here has some kind of pain or some kind of misery, no you are not alone and no you do not deserve any kind of "support" from the ladies on this board.

I love you! In so many ways. Both sexual and more platonic like if I'm ever over near you we should get a coffee.
