feeling so miserable

Hi everyone,
I am 33 weeks pregnant with twins and I'm feeling so miserable. Is this normal? I feel like I have the flu all the time...weak, dizzy, nauseous...I have some contractions, nothing to be in the hospital for at this point though. But I'm so worried that I'm not going to know when to go to the hospital. Part of the problem is that I don't sleep well (bathroom runs, muscle cramps,etc.) and that I'm not hungry so I don't eat like I should. Has anyone else experienced this? Please tell me that this is ok...I get so worried!

I had this a few weeks ago, and I went to L&D after having a drastic increase in my Braxton Hicks. Turned out I did indeed have a virus, but the babies were fine. You dont say how long you have felt this ill - is this outside of "normal" for you, or have you felt this poorly the entire time? I wouldn't hesitate to call my OB, just to be on the safe side!

 

I am 33w4d. I am also miserable. Don't feel bad. I think as much work as it takes to "grow" twins- it is normal for us to not be feeling so great at this point. I sympathize with you totally. I dont sleep at night. Too many visits to the bathroom and just plain can't get comfortable. My clothes make me miserable- my bras- pants- everything! Now baby A has hiccups every day!

I did go to the hospital because I was having a lot of contractions. I went because they had a pattern and they lasted each up to 60 seconds- which is what my doctor told me to look for. I had several for over an hour. I received 2 shots to stop or reduce contractions and was sent home 6 hours later. When in doubt, you can always call your after hours doctor and tell them what you are experiencing. It never hurts to call.

Hopefully we can have some peace before our babies come!

 

I actually started feeling miserable at 32 or 33 weeks...I had no energy, I felt like I was getting sick or like I had taken Benadryl or something. Fortunately even though I'm still pregnant, I have more energy now. I'm definitely bigger, but I don't have that same dragging feeling anymore. I don't know why...maybe it's the whole nesting thing or the fact that I know the end is near.

Hopefully you'll have the same experience and you'll get more energy and feel better when you get a few weeks further along.

 

I know how you feel. I am almost 33 weeks, and I am MISERABLE!! I don't really feel flu-like, but I'm not sleeping or eating well either. My first baby was premature also, so I don't really know what it feels like to be overdue, but it can't possibly be worse than this!

 

I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. It was making me nervous! I have a 2 year old and when I was pregnant with him, it was smooth sailing. I had mild morning sickness and no problems in the pregnancy. I felt fine most of the time and even slept pretty well. I know that every pregnancy is different and especially with twins...but I had no idea I would feel so bad! If there were any question about how many kids we'll have, I think I've answered it...THIS IS IT

 

im only 31 weeks (32 weeks depending on which doc you ask) and i feel the exact same... im nauses after i eat anything.... im always tired... i cant sleep, and nothing fits... this all just came out of no where about 3 days ago.... andn im not liking it at all!

 

I am glad that I am not the only one who feels this way. Most days I just feel like crap. I am cranky and miserable. I try not to be but it is hard. I almost regret working as long as I am (I don't leave the job until 12/7)...all I want to do is sleep and be left alone!
