The wall. I am 32w4d (I think?) and this week I have not even wanted to get out of bed. Even lying here holding my phone feels like too much work. I have been off work since 28 weeks and the first 4 weeks I was ok, resting most of the day but getting a couple things done each day. Not any more. Yesterday I was feeling ok and did a few loads of laundry, emptied the dish washer and made supper. Then I was awake in pain all night and have been recovering all day today.

I have been having thoughts like, if these babies came now they would be ok. Or, I can't wait until I'm not pregnant any more. I never had these thoughts with DD, not even at 41 weeks. Of course I don't want them to be early and will suck it up. I just wanted to share because it made me feel better to know this is normal and other women survive too.

Hang in there, mama. You are doing a great job. Totally normal feeling.

Yup, I'm 32+ 2 and felt that way earlier this week. I have felt ok the past 2 days and got some stuff done. Hope you can get some sleep tonight and that tomorrow is a better day :-)

I have felt the same way many times. At my 36 week visit my OB took pity on me because I could no longer walk to his office and we moved up my c-section date to 37w2d. Even at that I feel guilty for short changing the twins any extra time in the womb.

Its hard, and I know I felt guilty every time I was ready for the twins to come early.

32w was when I hit mine. It took everything I had just to get a shower and get dressed. I remember powering through 20min of walking around IKEA and then regretting it for a day and a half.

It's rough. Take care of yourself.

Omg I would never think of going to ikea at this point.

I've hit the wall a few times. Hopefully you get some more good days in. This past Wednesday I went in for my OB appt at 35 weeks and was strongly hoping I'd started to dilate, I was in so much pain. No reprieve that day but I know it's for the best. Keep resting and hang in there! Totally normal, in my opinion anyway

It was such a mistake. I kept having to stop and rest. I don't even remember why it was so important to go, either.

I have several days like that. I'm 35 w 5d. I kept thinking I would have had them by now, but the they have been holding on.

Hang in there! Past 30 weeks I felt like I'd been hit by a bus. Hope it goes by fast. Rest up and accept offers of help!

You are so close! I know the wall is waiting for me in the next few weeks too!! Be kind to yourself these last few weeks

ksgsmu · October 2014

I'm not there yet but you are doing great! hang in there! you are soo close!

You are in the home stretch & they will be here before you know it (at least that is what I keep telling myself). I'm only a few weeks ahead (35w5d) and the last few weeks things have been getting increasing tougher. Keep up the good work and know that we are here and understand when you need to vent!

oughtonk · October 2014

So normal! You're almost there and don't worry if you spend days sitting around resting, listen to your body. Keeping those babies in and yourself healthy are the most important thing in this last stretch. Best of luck in these last few weeks!

Coming from a newly discovered twin mom to be and a NICU nurse for the last 7 years- Keep those little people in!!! A day in womb in 2 in the NICU! You've got the best place for them and you are doing all you can to keep them growing the best you can!! Power through Mama!

I took lots of LONG baths!!! I put my ipad in a waterproof case, filled the tub, grabbed some ice water, and spent 3 hours in there (sometimes rough since I had to get out to pee every hour).

I was miserable to even empty the dishwasher!! NO WAY! Make a sandwich?? Way too long on my feet. Two nights before they were born we walked to the corner for dinner - omg it felt like I was walking in quicksand. Ugh!
