I'm f*cking miserable today

I am going to complain. If it offends you click out of the post. Sorry. But I have nowhere else to say this and I'm so upset right now I just need to say it.
I was doing awesome up until week 27 and now I'm so goddamn uncomfortable. My hips hurt so freaking bad and the bottom of my belly aches. It hurts to lay on my side because my hips hurt so bad. I actually had to find a way to lay on my stomach last night just to get some sleep.
I'm hungry all.the.time. and I feel like an enormous beast and I'm emotional as all hell right now. I think mostly because I'm afraid at how much worse this is going to get over the next few weeks.
I love my babies, I want to keep them in as long as possible for their health, blah blah blah, but I don't want to feel this way anymore and I feel guilty for saying that.
I pretty much have burst into tears about 5 times today for no reason. And I've only cried two other times during this whole pregnancy.
Please tell me it gets better. I can't do this for another 10 weeks.
Re: I'm f*cking miserable today
((HUGS)) I'm still behind you but I also have some incredibly uncomfortable days and wonder how the hell I'm going to carry these babies 8 or 10 more weeks. It's so tough and it's OK to complain sometimes, especially to us.
The only thing I've been able to do that helps is to occasionally pop a tylenol PM before bed, it helps me not to wake up quite so much and in the morning I wake up feeling actually rested and able to handle the rest of the discomforts a little better.
You CAN do this!!!!!!!! It's probably not going to be fun but I know you can do it.
thank you for not judging me
I feel so guilty over feeling so unhappy.
I'm probably just exhausted, even getting out of bed last night to go to the bathroom was awful and sitting down on the toilet was worse. I really had the worst 24 hours of my pregnancy to date yesterday. And I got SO much done, but I paid the price for it last night.
I hope your next 8-10 weeks is a breeze and you get some relief too!!!

My really miserable days were usually followed by a break for a week or so. Hang in there.
ETA: Here's my 27 week blog post. Seems like I was in that "break" period.

After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Being miserable doesn't mean you don't love your babies or that you aren't thankful that you are pregnant.
It is hard work growing one baby - I tip my hat to those of you growing more. I can't imagine how hard 3rd tri is with multiples.
Just know that you will forget all of the pain, aches, and discomfort of these last few weeks when you hold your babies.
No flames here! This pregnancy stuff is hard! I'm definitely noticing a difference between this pregnancy and the last. Maybe because I'm almost 5 years older, but I think carrying twins is just harder too. My belly isn't that big, but it grows so damn fast that it HURTS! I'm way too small to have this much trouble rolling over in bed, but there it is. I think the sling will help you a lot. It has me, and I'm way behind you
In the meantime, do you feel up to going swimming? I went last week and the weightlessness felt great. It helps with swelling and stuff too, if you're having any of that. If not, even a hot bath feels great (just skip the hot tub, obviously)
Speaking of being behind you, just this week things started to hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm starting to have a really hard time picturing working 2 more months. I'm just completely sore and exhausted, and I've been on break this week! (Though possibly entertaining a 4 year old has been more exhausting that teaching. Let you know next week.)
Anyway, you don't really have any control about when the babies come, beyond taking it easy to keep them baking. So given that, it's got to all be attitude and doing things to make yourself comfortable. Pillows under the belly, prenatal massage, chiropractor, whatever it takes to get you through!
At any rate, vent away. Hope this is just a growth spurt and you feel better next week!
Niki - no judgment from me. I am feeling EVERY single thing you are feeling. We can both do this.
Big hug from another twin mom to be that's also struggling.
Big hug right back at ya, hon! We can commiserate together.
I cried so hard this morning that I definitely scared our dog and maybe even my husband
Niki - If there's one thing I know about you, it's that you are one strong woman. I know you are uncomfortable right now. I can't imagine having two of these little ones inside of me. But you can do this. I know you can! You went through hell to get here, and I know you can make it a little longer to the end prize. Before you know it, you're going to be holding your LOs in your arms.
Try not to be too hard on yourself hon.

Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
No judging. Ever. That was me most of this week. My emotions are whacked and now I've developed sciatic pain . . . needless to say, you are NOT alone.
Vent and complaint away! I don't believe that just because I went through IF I surrendered my right to complain when in physical pain or feeling emotional/irrational.
Well said, LCB.
Reading this actually brings me comfort! Obviously I am at the very, VERY beginning stages of my first pregnancy and I am so nervous and anxious about what's in store for the next 8 months, but hearing everything you ladies are going through makes me appreciate the process, and also lets me know that it's ok to not feel GREAT about this all the time. Of course we are all incredibly grateful for being pg, but it doesn't mean we won't be miserable at times. I am looking forward to the ups and downs of my pregnancy, and I will remember this post waaayyyy down the road when I get to the point you are at, so thanks for that
I hope you get some relief soon hun! Hang in there over the next several weeks. You can do it!!
