Diappointed, frustrated

Well I went to my doctor appointment today and the only thing that has changed is the fact that there is so little room left in my belly that they were unable (for the second week in a row) to get an accurate weight measurement on the girls. There simply is no more room in there. BUT since my cervix is still locked tight, my doctor said unless I start going into labor, he will not schedule my c-section. He said if I make it to 38 weeks and still have not gone into labor THEN he will go ahead and deliver the babies.

I know we need to do what is best for these babies, but the days are going by so SLOW. I can't focus on reading a book for more than a minute or two. About the only thing I have energy for is sitting/laying on the couch watching TV. I know you have all heard this late pregnancy rant before from our fellow twin expectant mommies, but I am at the end of my rope! I need these girls to come SOON. My contractions have intensified so much in the past 24 hours, and I hurt all over. I can't get comfortable. I can't breathe. Everything irritates the heck out of me. My poor DH is at a total loss as to what he can do for me. :huh:

I was sooo hoping our girls would arrive before Christmas, but the chances of that are looking pretty slim!! Uugh!

Thanks so much for "listening" to my rant. Sorry for the "poor me" speech!

 

Vent away! So many of us remember what that was like :hug:. I was also not able to concentrate on a book and only able to watch tv or go on the Internet. I was also having early labor symptoms for the last four weeks. The longer they can stay in the better. You're doing great!

 

i hear you hun. im34w & 4 days. my goal was dec 27 but i dont think i will make it. 1 part of you wants to keep the babies in as long as possible the other part wants it over, my other kids and husband keep telling me "hang in there mommy, the girls are almost here. i smile and say you are right, in there time they will come.
good luck

 

Don't apologize. Feel free to rant - you gotta let it out! I'm sorry you're uncomfortable. :hug: You're close to the finish line and you've come this far...you can do it! Just a little bit longer.

 

:hug: Sorry that you are so uncomfortable!! The end is near!! You can do it! :hug:

 

I am there with you! I have been dilated to 3cm since Saturday and have been feeling like CRAP (to put it NICELY) ever since! The nurses and docs keep saying "its not time yet, you wont be having them soon" and I am like...uh then what are these contractions and cramps for??????? I tell the babies to either come out or leave my uterus alone!! I just try to count down until my planned inducing and if they come before that great! I dont see how much more I can take and I know I will be so exhausted from the pain when "true" labor hits I will need that epidural ASAP! Every day feels like eternity. I cant even sweep the floor without pains and running out of breath! When will this fun ever end!!!!!!????!!!!

 

Vent as much as you like, we all understand what you are going through. I'm at 31 weeks and I'm already feeling the way you are!
Hang in there, you're so close now. :good:

 

I remember feeling that same way! Why does pregnancy DRAG by and once they are born...time FLIES!!!! I am scared to blink!!!

 

:hug: I know how hard it is. I had really bad contractions the last 3 weeks and went to L&D 3 times only to be sent away because my cervix was locked tight. It's very frustrating. Just watch TV and cry if you need to. Sometimes it helps. Try to sleep when you can to help time pass and you'll need the rest for when the babies get here Take care....you are almost there :hug:

 

I'm right there with you as well, and I'm still only at 32.3, so I know how you feel. It's to the point that it *hurts* everytime the babies move! All we can do is suck it up I guess, and try not to kill our DH's for no reason the poor things!

I'm not a drinker, but I could use one right about now!
