How are you all feeling?

Today I think was the worst day so far as for being uncomfortable. I'm having so much pressure in the pelvic region everytime I stand up! I don't know if they shifted or what... and my poor bladder!

I feel huge! Can't imagine my stomach stretching any more! 10 weeks to go!

Anybody else having trouble when you first get into bed and lay down? Everything seems to have to adjust in there and it takes me a good 30 minutes to get used to laying on my side again. My stomach muscles feel so stretched.

Okay enough complaining!

 

Up to this point I have not complained and although I do love being pregnant....I am SO TIRED. I can no longer sleep and yes, I have exactly that same problem when I lie down to bed at night. I cannot get comfortable, I move from being propped up to almost sitting to laying on my side, to back up. Then when I think I might be getting close to comfort and sleep....HELLO, it's time to pee again! ARG....

I feel so huge all the time and struggle to do simple tasks. It is really wearing on me. I know it isn't too much longer though and I will have these precious babies in my arms so it makes it all worth it....RIGHT?? :unsure:

 

Well, at least we're not alone....I'm feeling the same way!!! I was having the same issues with the pressure when standing after sitting or laying down for a long time. Last time we checked both babies were breech and that's usually when I feel the most pressure. I can usually tell when they flip. Most times I feel like my cervix is being used like a trampoline....not comfortable at all.

Today I'm feeling really big for some reason. It's getting way harder to get comfortable at night and takes a TON of energy to flip from one side to the other. Most nights I wake up to find myself sleeping on my back...which I never did when I wasn't pregnant.

I keep thinking that 2 1/2 months isn't that much longer....but some days I'm not so sure. I would love to have a day where I could just kick up my feet and not worry about anything.

 

Guess we are all in the same boat- I ditto what all of you have said. Some days are unbearable. Both my girls are breech, and have been from the beginning. It is getting more and more difficult to turn over in bed or get off the couch. And it is becoming increasingly more difficult to sleep.

I get tired so easily....and no one understands. Seems like the more I ask hubby and family for help, the less I get.

Ughhh- Just take one day at a time....right?

 

I'll join in and complain too!! In the last 2 weeks I have blown up like a balloon and there is pressure EVERYWHERE!! My hips and legs feel like they are about to break along with my back! I can't sleep at night either bc once I FINALLY get comfortable its time to pee again! And my husband makes fun of me that it takes about 5 minutes to turn over in the bed! NOT NICE!! I am still working full time and I am just completely exhausted! But sooner than later all of our beautiful babies will be here in our arms and it will ALL be worth it!

Oh and I totally hear you on the no one understands thing! People think I am over reacting when I say how bad my whole body hurts and how tired I am. They think my pregnancy is just like theirs was and 'o its not THAT bad' People expect so much from me and I just want to scream "YOU TRY CARRYING AROUND TWO BABIES AND TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL!!!"

Lorin, I couldn't imagine working full time at this point! You go girl!

I'm glad we're all in the same boat though.... it's nice knowing there's other miserable people out there...lol!

We're getting there!

 

I'm with ya ladies! I keep getting comments about how i'm still not really big, so surely i'm not too uncomfortable. Yeah right! my sister is a few weeks ahead of me in pregoland and although she may still look bigger, i'm carrying more weight in the belly than she is. Looks can be deceiving. I have a really short waist and dunno where these babies can go as i literally go from belly to boobs, i've lost my ribcage. Joys of twins right?

 

Ditto Ditto and another Ditto to everything.

Went to my doc today at 29.2 weeks and I'm officially on house arrest. Not sure if I'm happy about it or not. Really need the money, but I'm SOOOOOOO tired.
My legs and and feet have swollen in the past week which are making them hurt even more than usual. But luckly my BP is still great (100/58) YEAH!

The worst part lately is attempting to sleep. I finially get comfy, sleep for about 2hrs and then I have to pee AND I'm so thirsty. So, since I get up and drink so much, 2 hrs later same thing.
All night long pee, drink, toss and turn..... pee, drink, toss and turn.
UGH!

This is me too. I have found though if I don't drink a ton at night I will wake up early morning with cramps or contractions. After last night I think I am switching to two glasses of water by the bed. Usually I feel better when I get up, like my skin stretches at night, but this morning I think the babies grew and I didn't! I feel so full and I haven't even started the day.

 

I am totally in the same boat!! It takes about 30 minutes to get comfortable and then I need to pee. Also when I wake up in the morning, I have so much pressure on the side I slept on because the babies have shifted. I am also having achy pain in my hips and when I wake up it feels like there is so much pressure in my chest from sleeping on my side. I am just counting down the days!

 

i am 28 weeksjust started to lose the ability to lean over!

 

Today has been the worst day so far!!!

Based on the first post, I woke up this morning and I could hardly walk due to all the pelvic pain. I have no idea what is causing it (well, obviously it's the pregnancy), but it's been on again off again for a while now. Usually after I walk around a bit it gets better, but that doesn't seem to be the case today. I feel like I've been kicked in the groin 1,000 times. I'm 1/2 tempted to put an ice pack on it!

It's so bad that I had to have my husband come home from work to help with our son, I just really can't do it today. 7 weeks and counting.....

 

I was just diagnosed with a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. All I can say is "OUCH" - and that ouch hurts more than anything that has caused pain. Constant, all day long pain. Doctor said if the pain doesn't start to lesson in 7 days to 2 weeks, time for an excision. I'm not sure which pain sounds worse!

Going to the doctor yesterday for this felt like the loss of any dignity I had left...

 

Oh--hemorrhoids stink!!! And they are probably the most embarrasing to me! I'm actually not 40 weeks till Oct. 14th, but you guys are much more informative and talkative :wavey: and these girls may come in Sept., so I'm jumping in here....
Being 21 weeks right now, I feel so much further. Of course, with this being pregnancy #5, everything is a bit more stretched out and lower than with #1, 2, 3, or 4. The groin pain and pelvic pressure is incredible--especially after lying down and then trying to get up. I don't remember any of that until the last month with my singletons! An ice pack would probably help--I may resort to that if this gets worse Won't that just cause jokes from dh!!

 

Oy! I hear ya! I am almost 25 weeks and seriously the pelvic pain is awful! Sometimes it feels like someone is drilling a hole through those bones and they burn something fierce! The other part is the back pain and the constant clicking.

I had hemroids bad after my last birth and I feel your pain. I thought I would have to have surgery to get rid of them but thankfully they were completely gone in about 6 weeks. Your comment about the last of your dignity...I'm so sorry, I think we have all felt that way at some point or will LOL so you're not alone! Having our children really opened up new conversations with DH and I about hemroids, stitches, and all sorts of other fun stuff we would have otherwise never talked about! :rotflmbo: :rotflmbo:

 

Agreed - I'm pretty sure my dh doesn't recognize this new, im-modest me.

Only 10 weeks to go... sigh...

 

You should try talking to your doctor about physical therapy for your hips. I had the same problem and I did pool therapy and it seemed to help.

 

do some excercise for your hips
you get loads of realy great dvds
