I am 16 weeks 4 days with mono/di twins.. Currently I'm still working but lately every day has gotten harder. I have less energy, it's hard to stand for more than ten minutes at a time, my legs ache ALL the time, and my belly feels so heavy it hurts my back.. My doctor says I can work as long as medically allowed.. But how long should I? I'm afraid that I'm hurting myself more than helping. But I'm very independent and like to do things myself. I also have four other kids at home (7 months-5 years) so it's not like I get much rest there either! I'm just confused.
Re: Working while pregnant
I only have a 20 month old at home, so I know how I feel with her running around crazy I can't imagine 4 other kids and feeling like that. The best advice these mamas have given me is listen to your body. I'm so glad I did.
Bringing them both home...UPDATE...The girls are home!!! 1/7/15 after 20 days in the NICU!

I'm now at almost 31 wks with di/di twins and I'm doing great. I haven't gained a ton of weight because working has kept me active. I feel like I could work a while longer but I'm taking it week by week. This week I feel fine but I don't know what next week will bring.
