Put on a happy face...(warning: whining inside)

Man I am miserable. It's not the tiredness or the throwing up in my sleep either. It's my hips. My right hip hurts so damn bad that I literally want to cry just trying to move. I am in so much pain I can barely stand it. And I have a high threshold for pain!

However, I am trying to put on a happy (well as happy as I can face) for other people. Everyone asks and I say I am okay. And I say I can do this. I know that the pain isn't hurting babies - just me - so I am trying to suffer in silence. There isn't anything I can do about it right? But inside I constantly feel like I am going to bust out crying at any second. I can do this. Right? RIGHT?

 Any other ladies want to complain with me. It helps to have other people who truly can commiserate with you.

    I'll dive in with ya!  MY BACK!!!  AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    I pulled a muscle a few weeks ago (doing prenatal yoga of all things), and it just won't heal.  Maybe if I wasn't carrying 30lbs of stomach around and maybe if I took some meds, but it's beyond uncomfortable to get around. 

    Gah, I just want my own bod back somedays.  Preferably in pre-baby form too, please.

    My stomach is so stretched I am pretty sure it is going to split open or I am going to tip over soon.

    Oh I so feel you... from lower back to bottom of hips and EVERYTHING in between is just keeping me in misery. I can't even fake it since when I stand up I walk in a really slow shuffle... oh yeah suuurrrreee I'm just peachy LOL! Chiropractic has really helped tho if you haven't tried it!

    Have you tried chiropractic? I started going every 2 weeks, and it's made a difference w/hip pain for me. I still have it (particularly 1st thing in the morning), but it's not as severe/pronounced. My chiropractor also gave me a sheet with various stretches to do several times a day to help with the hip pain.  

    Sorry you're miserable!

    I'll join in too!  My belly feels so heavy that I can't get comfortable in any position.  Then there's the swelling of not just my feet and ankles, but my calves and thighs.  Ug!  I try to lie as flat as I can with my feet up to help the swelling, but almost any position other than sitting up straight feels like I'm suffocating.  I know I need to keep drinking tons of water, but getting up and down to use the bathroom is killing me.  My knees feel like there's no cartilege in there anymore.  I know we can do it if we take it one day at a time, but these days are really starting to drag on.  I just keep telling myself how worth it it'll all be.

    I would LOVE to whine with you!  

    I spent 6 weeks on bed rest because of PTL ( I am 4cm and 100% effaced), I've now been off of bed rest for about two weeks and have no signs of the babies coming! I am so discouraged and MISERABLE! Every night I have contractions that are timeable and painful, then all of a sudden they disappear, so I am barely getting any sleep because the contractions are keeping me up. My doctor won't induce me until I'm 39 weeks, so if they don't come on their own I have at least 2 weeks left.

    Top it all off, my cousin had her baby last night, and yes she was due before me (she was actually 4 days overdue) I am SO jealous, I had a major pity party when I found out her baby was born. The logical side of me knows it is ridiculous for me to be jealous that she had her baby first but the childish side of me says "I'm more pregnant than her, I have TWO babies in there".

    Ok, I'm done taking over your post and whining now. Being pregnant with multiples is SO much harder than I ever could have imagined.
