Please flame me, but...
I was lurking on first tri.... Which is a huge mistake! There was a girl complaining about severe back pain. She is 11 weeks pregnant with one baby. Made me want to punch her. I am so not a mean person, I just think this bed rest thing is getting the better of me. I would gladly trade her severe back pain, for the back and front pain I'm having : /. Oh the life of a bitter me! Rant over

No flame attack here...I'm with you! I try not to get too upset over what other people say because what we each experience is all relative anyway but I do get tired of hearing complaints about such piddly things. I was having some BH at work yesterday and a coworker (who has had one baby) said, "Well just wait until you're full term, then you'll really have something to complain about!" I wanted to punch her, too. I was quick to remind her that at 29 weeks I AM measuring the same size as a woman who is full term with one baby. Some people. Hahaha this turned into a rant of my own! Rant thread! Open for business!
On another note, I'm sorry that you're on bed rest and uncomfortable. I couldn't imagine. I don't know how you ladies on bed rest do it.
Videos of telling my family and husbands family that we are preggo...with twins!
Oh, I went crazy on bed rest!! I feel for you! My last month of pregnancy was torture! Until you have a twin pregnancy, you have no idea how easy a singleton pregnancy is (for me anyway). My first 2 singleton pregnancies were a cake walk next to the twin pregnancy. It's also the same for someone who just had one baby. I remember thinking I can't do anything because I just had one baby. I have the twins now and really can't do anything! One baby is like having none! I could run all over town with one! You just don't know it until you have TWINS! haha Feel better.
I will say, I do miss my uncomfortable days of lolling in bed all day right now (twins are 3.5 weeks old). I wouldn't trade them for anything but it was nice to have that really hard/annoying bed rest in retrospect for 8 weeks. Ah, sleep!
I love reading your posts! You're always so nice! And OP, sending you happy thoughts - you'll be able to survive anything after this!
Just wait until you get to the 3rd-tri threads about how at 36w6d they're trying to get their doc to induce because they're SOOOOO uncomfortable and are as big as a WHALE. Yeah. Uh huh. Whatever.
I agree that some people have different pain threshholds and tolerances and maybe she has a pinched nerve or something else (a friend of mine already has a condition where she has bad joint and tendon pain/stretching and pregnancy hormones made her risk her hips coming out of place, etc). But for the most part? Yeah. They have a LONG way to go if they're already in that much pain at 11 w!
