something I will definitely not miss after this pregnancy is over

The seemingly never-ending contractions.  I've had enough of going about life doubled over.

Poor girl!  I struggled with this too.  I am sure your doc has told you but make sure you are drinking enough water and putting your feet up etc.  Take care hon!  You don't have much longer!

OMG I hated that.  Ugh.  Make sure you stay on top of them, and go to L&D if they get too close together.

Yeah, I drink like a fish and have been on modified bedrest since 17 weeks.  The contractions aren't affecting my cervix at all.  Its more about discomfort at this point.  When they started around 14 weeks they werent too bad, but lately it feels like they are crushing my ribs

I feel like your ticker just went backwards. It feels like just yesterday you were 13 weeks, not 31! Didn't you just find out you're having twins?

Wait, so it's possible for me to start feeling contractions within the next week?!? 

I really hope I stay contraction free until the end!

Its not normal.  The doc thinks it was a combination of low body weight and twins

It's common with multiples to feel contractions (more like braxton hicks) early.  I started feeling them around 12 weeks, and they got really bad around 15 weeks.  My cervix DID start changing around 19 weeks though so it was a big deal for me.  Most people with braxton hicks just feel the tightening of the uterus, maybe a little pain, and that's it.

Well, neither of these are an issue for me!  I'm glad you're almost done cooking so those contractions are nearing the end!
