Feeling Miserable; Just thought I would share ;)

So I am almost 34 weeks, yeah! I had a lot of cramping early on and had preterm labor with my other set of twins so my Doc. put me on Procardia pretty early on. I feel like this pregnancy is going to go on forever (doesn't everyone...)! I am so happy to be at this point and still going strong, just feeling like poo-poo and felt like sharing.

I have had a babysitter full time since June just in case I went on bedrest and I think this is why I have not had any major issues becuase I get to rest a lot. My babysitter goes back to school next Monday and I am sure going to miss her!

Yesterday I started having severe hip pain. Had it before, knew it was coming but forgot how much it hurts to move. On top of that I keep having menstral like cramps that are pretty uncomfortable. I never had this before, and I know it isn't changing my cervix so this is wierd. I have had little to no braxton hicks since I have been on procardia. Cervix is high, long and closed. I am wondering how labor will start for me. With my first my water broke. Twins, I was vomiting a lot and contracting when I went into PTL. Was 3 cm for a month and then When it was the real thing I had contractions. This time around I wonder if I will have to be induced. Other than feeling like I got hit by a car, I don't feel like my uterus is preparing for the big day and since it is so stretched out I wonder if it can even function properly!

I have an u/s tomorrow. The doc is sure baby A is head down, have no idea where baby B is. I can't wait to find out their positions and estimated weights!

So many emotional and physical issues that right now I just want to evict these babies. The constant thinking of how will I handle a 4 year old. 2 - 2year olds and 2 newborns keeps my mind going crazy. Also longing to meet them, hold them, and finally get my body back. (My body was not great before but MUCH better that now!)

I know this sounds bad but I sure hope I don't get to 38 weeks. Seems like a lifetime away. I know they will come out in time and all the pain will go away. Then I will just complain of lack of sleep I just don't like uncertaity and it is bugging me that I have no idea when or how they will arrive.

OH well, good luck to those of you feeling like crap! It will get better! Wish me luck that they arrive sooner than later and having 5 kids 4 and under will be a breeze! (hahahha)

Thanks for listening!

 

Good luck Christy. I thought that I would have my hands full with a 3 y/o and newborn twins. Sounds like you've got twice as much going on. I hope that you have support close by! Best wishes!

 

Hey Christy :hug99: to you ~
YAY for making it to 34 weeks Congrats!
I am sure you are MORE than ready to have those babies & have your own body back!!
Hang in there ~ not much longer to go!

 

I know how your feeling I'm right there with you. I'm at 34 weeks and I started to really feel miserable at least 2 weeks ago. I'm also hoping I won't make it past 38 weeks. I know the longer they stay in the better, but my goodness this feels like it will never end.

 

So it isn't just me that feels like they can't walk! My hip joints hurt so bad that I feel like I can't even get out of bed. Is this normal? I didn't have any of this with my singleton pregnancy and I didn't make it this far with my first set of twins because I had them at 21 weeks and they didn't make it. But now with Austin and Alyssa I have made it to 36 weeks and 3 days and I feel like I am going to die!!!!
