Feeling discouraged

I'm 28 weeks now and I have to say that I have had a really uneventful pregnancy except that I feel soooo bad! BP is good 120/60 yesterday, no swelling to speak of, no protein in my urine, I've only gained 15 pounds and no major freak outs since the beginning of my pregnancy! Why do I feel so bad? It seems that I need to lay down all the time, am tired all the time and hurt everywhere! I had PIH with my son and I swear that I feel like I'm getting it now, but I know this is probably in my mind being that I have no medical symptoms at all. I don't think my BP was ever this low with him and my feet were like elephants! My vision has gone to the dogs though...not stars or passing out type stuff...just can't see without my glasses way more noticeably than before. My Dr. told me yesterday that if I go into labor on my own at or after 34 weeks then he wouldn't do much to stop it....is this normal? And that seems like so long from now! Anyway, I'm being a big whiny baby! Sorry and thanks for listening! As nice as everyone is to me, they really just don't understand the way that yall do!

 

dont feel discouraged.. an uneventful pregenancy is better than an eventful one

i had an uneventful twin pregnancy.. it was awsome.. just weight of them.. 7.5 6.2
i got to take them home..

just enjoy it..

on the other hand.. with my 1st ds i had a c sec / dnc/ galbladder removed/ spinal headache..
be thankful

 

You "feel so bad" because you are 28 weeks pregnant with two babies! It sounds like generally you are doing well but multiple pregnancies really do a number to mom's body. If you do feel like you might be getting PIH just keep being aware and call your doc if anything doesn't seem quite right but please try not to stress about it.

34 weeks was when my docs too would not stop labor if it began. It was also when I could deliver at my local hospital.

Congrats on 28 weeks! I hope you are able to carry for many more weeks!

 

congratulations on 28 weeks. hang in there mommy. it's not easy. but as I was told by all the wonderful mommas on TS the longer the babies cook the better it is for them. it will be over sooner then we think. good luck.

 

I hope you can have some better days soon, good luck!

 

Well, I think that this is totally understandable! You are lucky not to have had an eventful pregnancy because that can only mean worry and stress, but it is totally natural for you to feel bad now. You are 28 weeks pregnant with 2 babies! When I was pregnant with my daughter I started feeling just plain bad toward the end, and although it was later... I was having 1 baby! This time around I am sure that tried, worn out, bad feeling will start earlier!!! Do something nice for yourself and try not to be so hard on yourself about feeling this way, anyone who thinks you should be feeling better has clearly never been pregnant let alone with twins!!!

I will be wishing you good thoughts! Take it easy!

 

I too am 28wks and kind of blah. I have my good and bad days. I think the heat is mostly taking a toll on me now since I don't have any AC in my living room or kitchen. My BP has been great too, and that is something they watch cause it shot up at 38wks with DD. I haven't BP this good in a long time It has been pretty uneventful for me, though that may change since I had my 1hr glucose test yesterday, will find that out today at my appt. Most likely I will have to go for the 3hr next week too. I am PCOS, so that along with twins puts me at a higher risk of GD. If I can get through that hurdle than I will be super happy. At my u/s on Monday, it was the first time I really felt some relief about this pregnancy. I have had a lot of worries though no real complications....just a lot of fear within me. I feel truely blessed.

I have my days though were I ask myself if I will make it to full term because I am feeling blah. I wish that I could zap myself to August and have these girls some days

April

 

Poor Mommy!! I know I felt that way the ENTIRE twin pregnancy... so tired, and could not stand up for long periods of time. I couldn't help with Thanksgiving dinner even though I was only about 15 weeks at the time. Pelvis felt like it would break every time I stood up etc... Just take it as easy as you can. Use the electric carts at the grocery store and mall if you can... That helped me out a lot. I do not know what PIH is. But I definitely had an uneventful but TIRING pregnancy with the twins... I know it is hard. But take it as easy as you can, it helped my mood to let people help me a little. I am a control freak and did not want the help. But I was so desperate. I was so happy to lie down while MIL ran around dusting. Hang in there!!! :hug99:

 

My doc said the same ... 34 weeks was a major milestone. However I made it until my scheduled induction at 38w2d. The last 3 weeks were the hardest. I was swollen so badly, I couldn't bend my knee. The rest of the pregnancy was fairly easy. However, looking back I can only be greatful that I made it that long and that my babies were so big and healthy. It was hard, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do and hang in there for the sake of your babies. You'll be fine!

 

I swell every time I am outside!

My vision has gone to the dogs though same here... I can't see anything!

You are almost finished... Just hang in there!!!
