spoke too soon (slightly long rant)

So yesterday I was feeling pretty full of myself. I hit 30 weeks and I got the girls ready and took them to the zoo. I was even bragging to my DH how I didn't feel too bad even though I was tired and my feet hurt. WELL today I feel like I have hit that wall I have heard about.

I am hoping maybe it is a one day thing from overdoing it yesterday, but I feel like I can hardly move. The BH are getting ridiculous. They have been a constant for a while now, but they just are getting a little more intense now that my stomach already feels so sore and tight.

I am SO grateful to have gotten so far with no complications, but I have to admit that bedrest ALMOST sounds appealing today. At least just for a day or two ; ) I can't even stop work unless I get put on bedrest, so I STILL have my daycare kids as well as my own.

Definitely give yourself permission to take it as easy as possible these last few months! That's a lot to handle at 30w with twins; I wouldn't go beyond what you need to do.

you over did it a bit it sounds like.  Drink plenty of water and lay down when possible.

Ugh, I can relate.....just 29 wks but I definitely overdid it yesterday (cleaning carpets, organizing our condo, which meant carrying things up and down stairs too many times) and had to spend the rest of the night off my feet chugging water....and am still kinda feeling it today.....the BH have gone from annoying to pretty darn uncomfortable/kinda painful. :-P Take it easy mama!!

same thing happened to me...at 33 weeks I overdid and ended up dilating 2cm and having to get checked into the hospital for steroid shots for the babies and for the magnesium sulfate drip to stop the contractions (which I didn't have until I checked into hospital).  They send me home on modified bed rest and things have been great since. No further dilation and very few contractions.  For me, the rest really made a big difference.

Thanks ladies! Amazing how we all think we are super heroes and over do it. We are already being super heroes just by carrying the babies this far in my opinion : - )
