So sore the next day

I'm 27w4d and I already feel like I can't do a lot. Well, I can at the time. I'm generally ok while I'm doing things, with occasional breaks. But anything like shopping or errands or walking even moderately kills me that night and the next day. My whole body aches, walking is brutal, and just getting up from a chair is painful. I used to do yoga but no more. I'm pretty much laid up for the day.

It sucks because yesterday DH and DS went to the science museum. I really wanted to go, and while I felt ok that morning I just knew it wouldn't be good. So I stayed home. I feel really limited in what I can do.

I don't know how people with jobs who have to be on their feet do it. I didn't expect this level of difficulty until after 30 weeks. It's going to be a long 3rd tri.

Am I being a wuss? Is/was anyone in the same boat?

    I am so with you. I mentioned on my FFFC that during my last pregnancy I was very active and planting the garden and going to concerts at 38+ weeks. With this one I feel that I need a push to get up the stairs. Went to the park and grocery shopping yesterday and was spent, and I am only 23 weeks. I am very scared to see how I will be come May and June.

    This is my first pregnancy, so nothing to compare it to but being pregnant with twins is no joke. I'm tiered all the time and I just can't do much for long periods of time.

    Same boat. You're growing two babies! If they are di/di it is like being pregnant twice... at one time (mo twins are not any easier). The best advice i could give now at 35w3d is try your best to get good sleep and naps. It makes a huge difference mentally when you get enough sleep! Also, bathe in the moments you feel good. when I was able to walk my dog or just watch tv and feel good I would try really hard to think about how good I was feeling. Then when people would ask how I was feeling i would remember the good moments more than the awful. Honestly, it just gets worse. But the pay off will be well worth it.

    I'm amazed at how tired I am all of the time. Except that I can't frickin sleep because I'm so uncomfortable. I feel lucky to get 3-4 hours at a time. We went to the grocery today and it was just too much for me. I ended up having to sit on a bench while DH checked out. I hurt so much afterward. I'm so thankful that today (33w) is my first day of mat leave so I can sleep during the day hopefully. I feel like I've been pushing myself too much lately so I'm going to try and take it easy for the next 3-5 weeks and hope
    I can grow these babies some more laying in bed! I agree with pp though try to keep those good moments in your head and be thankful for them. They get fewer and farther between the further along you get.
