3rd Trimester

Laying down makes me feel badly...anyone else?

25 weeks with triplets today.  I've been doing "down time" 90 mins in the am and 90 mins in the pm (or close to that).  Thankfully, we have a great nanny for 15 mo old DD and I try to do my time while DD is taking her naps.  Both down times yesterday made me feel crappy after a couple minutes, despite drinking a lot while I was down.  Was down and on left side.  Just felt dizzy and like BP was super low.  (Sugar may have been a bit low, but I was drinking lemonade with some sugar.)  Slept very elevated last night and only had troubles between 11 & 2 due to upper back pain (I've heard the upper back pain is normal...I was underweight prior to pregnancy and am measuring "on track" for twins, but they say there's a lot of back compensation.)  Anyone have this problem laying down?

No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college.  Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole.  IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age.  On to IVF.  Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11.  Froze due to overstimulation.  

FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN.   FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).

  • With MFM..OBs don't like triplets:( taking 57 mg extra iron, but maybe I need more. I'll ask...

  • Twins here. I have the upper back (mostly on the left side) pain, also. And can't sleep right. Have to be elevated. These are babies 7&8 for me and I didn't have these issues w any of the singletons. It's crazy.
