Hello everyone! I am very new here and excited to announce I am 10 weeks pregnant with di/di twins. This is my second pregnancy but I will be a FTM. We are feeling so blessed right now.

I hate to complain but in this short time my pregnancy has not been the easiest. I had a very large bleed (SCH) that I'm still recovering from. Babies are both fine, thank goodness.

I look extremely pregnant already, to the point that complete strangers are already commenting on my pregnancy. I get shortness of breath really easily, I have random aches and pains, head aches every day, by the end of the day I am so uncomfortable even laying on the couch is painful.

Is this normal so early in twin pregnancies? I fear if I'm this uncomfortable alredy, this just means I will have a difficult time as things progress.

Congratulations to all of you!

Hi.

I had a lot of bloat in the beginning but that is all that it was. I also had a hematoma, had some gushing and spotting. It finally resolved at around 12 weeks. Headaches and body aches can be common...I'm 20w and I've had them - or have them (I have a sciatica issue that always seems to flare with pregnancy). Really depends on the person.

I had an easy singleton pregnancy and this pregnancy has been pretty uneventful compared to some of the ladies I know with both twin & singleton pregnancies, so I feel kind of lucky.

Welcome and congrats!

I have had a fairly easy pregnancy so far as twin pregnancy goes ( although that can always change on a dime) I noticed at 10 weeks that I was beyond exhausted and shortly after started getting some round ligament pain. It was uncomfortable. Now at 15 weeks not so much pain as greater general uncomfortableness. Getting a pregnancy pillow has helped with sleeping and not overdoing it on my feet at work etc... I also am still experiencing more morning sickness. yuck.

Try and get as much rest as you can! If you have access to a pool I have found that really helps with the aches. If not a cool bath might help. Don't feel bad about resting. I know at first I felt guilty when I came home from work I couldn't lift a finger. Some nights I can be productive and other time all I can do is lie down and have my husband wait on me.

Thanks all! I'm hoping this is just my body getting used to all the quick changes and fast weight gain but I can get a few weeks of relief during the second tri. I feel bad for DH as I am basically useless when it comes to chores but even without the SCH I done feel well enought to do anything.

I have also had a fairly uneventful pg so far... (knock wood). I am also FTM with a loss last year. Welcome! I had RLP (early on) but not lately. Some nausea, but no MS first tri. Then threw up 2x in one day last week! I take Royal Jelly and B6 and Fish oil which may have helped keep the nausea at bay. I sleep a lot when I am not working. Yesterday slept 11am til 6pm (just home from night shift), then 11pm until 3a, got up to eat, then 5am-8a, went out to run errands, then 3pm til 9. Now waiting for sis to arrive from CA at 1am.

I am 16 weeks, and I just drink more water (seriously, like a gallon a day is my goal). This seems to help with most of my cramping, etc. I am also gluten free. If I cheat, I hurt in my knee especially.... try tylenol for headaches? I am sorry you are having such a rough start. But I am glad you are here! Congrats on your blessings! Are you on PGAL? I have found those ladies very helpful, too :-) for all my "little crazies"...
