So miserable and trying to hold on...

lulugirl

I am 35 weeks today and happy to have made it so far. But I cannot describe how awful I feel. My right hip is killing me - I am now not sleeping hardly at all - maybe 20 minute stretches. Walking is a joke and when the babies move it hurts so badly.

This morning my legs were so swollen that I was leaving dents in my calves when I pushed in. Nurse was not concerned unless my vision was blurry.

We have had mini-goals and my next one is 37 weeks (was in hospital at 30 weeks so goals have been 2 week increments to keep the babies cooking). I think I can make it I am just feeling very tired of this. We have the 36 week c-section date on the calendar in case medically I need it but our plan is to ignore it otherwise.

I'm sorry you're so uncomfortable, but look how far you've come!  Whether the babies are here in 1 week, 2, or 3, you don't have long left.  Do what you can to be comfortable.  You have a lot to be proud of!

I am so sorry. Hang in there. One of the great things about having twins is that even if you have a c-section, being not pregnant afterwards feels so awesome. Do you have access to a pool? I used to hang out in the one at my local Y. It was the best feeling ever.

I feel for you...we all do.  I know you can hang in there.  It will be so worth it when those babies come out.  RIght now you get those babies all to yourself.  In a few weeks you'll have to share.  Enjoy the thought of "cooking" them so that they will come out thriving and healthy and won't need any NICU time.  It's totally worth it!  GL!

Yep! I try to go to the pool every other day now - you should see the looks I get with my 46 week belly now! :-) Makes me proud...

I am so happy they are still in but my belly just aches. I have made the same comment to my husband - that my C recovery shouldn't feel that bad this time since I am in so much pain now! :-)

LOL

Well, it sounds like you're really suffering, and I can only imagine how you feel, but all I can say is that I would give anything to be you right now. You at least know that your babies have made it to the safe zone (and that's not a small thing). I'm 10 weeks behind you and my doc pretty much devastated me the other day, telling me that I'll be lucky if my babies make it to 30 weeks.  Believe me, I'm sympathetic to your situation, I'm just saying, try to look on the bright side, you're in the home stretch.

Hang in there!  Those last few weeks are so tough.  I so badly wanted my babies to come at 35w for me, but in the end, it was best for them to come at 38w.  They were so healthy that it was worth the torture I had to endure.  They needed those last few weeks and now those are just a distant memory.

I have no doubt that you appreciate that you are still pregnant. I am glad that you are still at the pool. This is me at 31 weeks.

Confession I did not wear this in public.

That is a great pic! I wear black boy-shorts (swim shorts) and a black tank top (not a swim top) when I float around. The looks I get crack me up but oh does that water feel SO good.

just wanted to send lots of (((hugs))) and "you can do it!" cheerleading. I hope the next couple of weeks go by quickly for you.

Congratulations for making it this far!  That is a HUGE accomplishment.  So sorry that you are in pain.  I can't even imagine, but I hope and pray that I'll be in your shoes soon and make it to 35 weeks.  You only have a short while to go and you can do it!

Sending you ((HUGS)) and good sleep vibes:) You are doing great to have made it so far!!!

To me, any MoM is a superwoman, hang in there.

And, complain away, I can't even imagine how you are feeling, I'm only at 28 weeks and end up in tears a few times a week from the hip pain.

Hang in there girl!!  I was right where you are 7 weeks ago.  Just do what you have to and rest as much as possible.  You will have your little ones in your arms soon!!!
