Home after HBR!

Burberry0421

After 6 weeks of hospital bed rest, I am finally home. I am on bed rest until Wednesday when I will be 34 weeks and can safely deliver at our hospital here in town. I am shocked the boys didn't make their debut before I was able to make it home, but they stayed in!

Having said that, them staying in is taking it's toll on my body. Holy shit, I'm in pain! My pelvis feels like I've been beaten with a baseball bat, their fat heads are squashing my ribs, and I have a hemorrhoid the size of a gumball that makes me cry. Is this normal? I assume it is, but good grief! I am so ready to be done. I don't know that my body can take much more of this. Just rolling over in bed makes me cringe from the pelvic pain. 

Anyone? Please tell me I'm not a freak.

You are not alone. I am 5 weeks behind you are feel exactly the same. I keep reminding myself that these 2 need to cook for 2 more months, in the words of my 4 year old...." That's for evvvveeeeerrrrrr" Took an Epsom salt bath last night and it really helped the hips and pelvis.

Yea it is normal. I made it to 38w (measured 51w) and it was really hard to stay positive and not feel bad for myself. Good job keeping those boys in!

Just keep drinking milkshakes and rent some good movies. You can do it! When I saw this post, I was hoping it was you that made it home!
But yeah, the last few weeks of twin preg are complete and utter hell. I think back to that time and shutter....
