I ended up getting a rash called pup (I think that is what it is called), and the itching was the most painful thing I have ever gone through. I think my stomach just got to the point where it could not physically stretch anymore.
I had a c-section, it would have been nice to have them naturally but I was just at a point where I was DONE lol!

Fraternal twins born Feb. 2013
My hospital's policy was nothing scheduled before 38 weeks, so my MFM's goal was for me to make it until then. I ended up w/ a C-Section a week earlier due to a bad NST.
Hang in there, @cls78! The last couple of weeks are rough, but you're almost there! I remember feeling like I was carrying around a sack of bricks. Like PP, baby B was transverse up in my ribs, and baby A was right on my bladder. Not fun!
For me, it was instant relief as soon as they took the babies out. Then I was so preoccupied, that all of the discomfort was (and still is) kind of like a distant memory. GL!
It's twin girls!! Born on 11-2-14!
I however did not. I only made it to 32 wks. I was in the hospital at 31w2d because baby As water was leaking. I wasn't that uncomfortable at that point.
I'm 5'10" with a long torso, I gained 25 lbs. I'm young, athletic, and have a previous pg under my belt but sometimes the unexpected happens. I wish I could've held them in longer but baby As feet were in the birth canal so I had a c section immediately after that was discovered.
Our beautiful babies

Good luck!
