Did anyone just feel like they were in pain....all.the.time.....

lrrb · July 2011

I'm 19 weeks and there really isn't a day that I feel great. My uterus hurts like all.the.time (like a dull ache), I get Braxton hicks a lot and I have bad pubic bone pain. I feel like my body hates me and the twins and I'm scared pretty much every single day that something is really wrong. I go tot he doctor Monday then I start going every two weeks which will make me feel much better to be going that much. But when I talk to other pregnant moms (not MoM) at this point in their pregnancy they are loving life. Please tell me this is normal for twins or I just might lose my mind.

Yup. Actually, i started seeing a chiropractor about 25 for the Webster technique hoping to avoid a breech baby. It helped a TON with belly and pubic pain. Webster involves a lot of gentle ligament work, and it turns out my rib pain was not baby head but ligament pain.

I would think a good prenatal massage person could help with that too.

I was pretty miserable too at your point. Still am You just can't compare yourself to those pregnant with one around you. All my friends are doing prenatal yoga and have tons of energy. I remember that from being pregnant with my daughter. This is just so different.

Ditto to chiropractor or massage. They can relieve pain temporarily.

Hang in there!

I agree that you can't compare your pregnancy to singleton pregnancies. You're carrying more than one baby, which means extra weight and strain on your body sooner, and your uterus and ligaments have to stretch to accomodate your pregnancy sooner and faster.

I'm 21 weeks today and am definitely sore and achy at least part of every day. And I'm also paranoid about each new ache and pain and twinge. You're not alone!
