I don't know why some days I'm fine and some days I am so weepy! It started last night....I watched Law and Order SVU, and at the end, when Elliott Stabler's daughter was arrested and put in a police car I started to cry! I was thinking WTH, I have reached a new low! That's not even a sad show, I have no idea why it made me cry...a few weeks ago I heard that song "Delilah" on the radio and it made me cry.... Today when I posted a response to the "who would you have in the delivery room" post, I got tears in my eyes! I think today it's because I'm so exhausted, I've stopped being able to sleep at night. I just toss and turn all night long. And my belly is SO SORE, I went shopping all day on Saturday and by the end of the day I told my mom if we went to one more store my uterus was going to fall out! I could not make it! I guess walking strains ligaments down there because I have been so sore ever since, and I've started having acid reflux after every meal. No matter what I eat, I get heartburn and reflux after, especially if I'm starving and eat too much. Just wanted to complain, I'll be glad when the babies are born. I'm starting to not like pregnancy as much as I did at the beginning.
I am sorry to see you are miserable! But also glad that someone else at 22 weeks is feeling the way I do. I get sore after doing activities that I normally could do. and stuff I could do at 22 wks with my singleton. It is just frustrating to be at this point and already miserable sometimes. I am grateful and do not want to complain but I have been feeling like you. and when I get tired it is so hard to catch up but I am not ready to scale back my activities yet! I don't feel like I am even really doing that much. And try to explain why to people who don't get it. I know it shouldn't matter....anyway. I just wanted to say I am right there with you! I am 22 weeks today and I have been feeling like that for about a week now. as for the hormones...I went to a wedding on Saturday and cried as soon as the opening music started...while the bridesmaids were walking in! I did not know any of them. I only really knew the bride and while I am happy for her I donot think I would normally be crying like that! I felt ridiculous!
As far as crying, that has subsided for right now. I am sure it will be back. Now, for the tossing turning and being sore...I feel your pain! My belly somedays feels bruised. Sometimes I have to be really careful at times when turning because it hurts to do that! Just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I hate to say it but, we have got a ways to go :cray:
The hormones had a drastic effect on me. I was all over the place, and the littlest things made me cry. I would cry at random commercials, song lyrics, you name it. The bad news is, I don't think that it has gone away...and I gave birth almost 2 1/2 years ago!!!! I feel for you!!!!
I sympathize and think that the 22 week growth spurt is to blame for me. Hopefully this story will make you laugh...my DH travels for work Monday through Thursday. Last Monday night I tried calling him and got voicemail, this is not unusual. Unfortunately hormones took over logic because I called 10 times in 30 minutes eventually leaving a voicemail crying my eyes out saying he wasn't there for me and didn't care. 15 minutes later I called back and asked him to please ignore my last voicemail as I was temporarily insane. Fast forward an hour and I go to eat ice cream from the freezer. He had eaten the last bit and put an empty box back in the freezer. Well here comes insane momma time again with another emotional voicemail....15 minutes later I calmed down and called him back saying please ignore, it is a rough night. He eventually called me about an hour later explaining he had been at a client dinner and was heading o drinks but wanted me to hang in there, get some sleep and know that he loved me. I am not an emotional person, little less a rollercoaster like this. He did admit two days later he had a chuckle at the bar with friends explaining the voicemails. All husbands who were dad's warned him to just smile, apologize and wait for the emotions to clear over. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!

LOL this reminds me of this morning....my DH has been gone for such a long time and is coming home 1 week from today. This morning when he emailed me here at work like he does every morning, I told him to leave me alone because I was not in a mood to talk to him today and also that I would be naming the twins myself since I'm the one doing all the work. LOL, poor DH, he wrote back "What did I do?"
Let me just tell you that it gets worse... I am way more b*tchy and I cry at TV shows and stuff.. Its like a daily event. I am also way more tired.. GL
I have had the worst day today. I can't stop crying, I'm just so upset. I got NO sleep last night, then I worked all day, then I had to go grocery shopping and then I needed to get my dogs and some ohter things from my parents house because I've been staying over there since I'm alone. So I went to my parents house after work today to get my dogs and some of my things and I set off the alarm and could not remember the code to shut it off! A policeman that lives 2 doors down came to help me and of course I started to cry and I'm just so tired/not feeling well/stressed out/upset I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. I can't do everything by myself anymore. Finallhy I got ahold of my mom and turned the alarm off, but all the dogs were barking and the police coming and all that just upset me.
I know exactly how you feel. I am also 22 weeks today actually and I am an emotional wreck at times. I feel like it is getting harder and harder to move around everyday. I just think to myself how the heck am I going to do this when I am farther along. We just have to take it day by day and everything will be fine. Hang in there. Just think everyone needs a good cry now and then so just let it out when you feel like you need to.
I am only 15 weeks and am discovering difficulty in getting around. Plus, my emotions are all over to place. I can go from 0 to hostile in less then 60 seconds and I have no patience anymore! I try to take deep breaths and count to 10 and hope someday I will return to my normal self!
Can you take a day of from work and get some rest? I took a random day off last week and did nothing except walk the dog and watch tv. I felt a lot better the next day. It sucks to realize I am not a super woman and need the extra rest.
If I can just make it through this week I've got 2 days off next week. I'm off next Monday and Tuesday because my DH comes home on Monday morning, so I'm just trying to make it through this week without having a nervous breakdown and then I'll get a 4 day weekend!
So how early is it to start complaining? LOL... I feel like I should wait another, atleast 2 weeks, before I start my b****fest. However, I'm overly emotional as well. I got teary eyed watching Age of Love last night..yes I know crazy. Then I made the mistake on Sunday of watching Extreme Home Makeover....so happy my BF was not home at the time. He would have laughed at me!
I was the same way, I was so miserable through the whole pregnancy. I was sick from beginning till end and I was just so uncomfortable, but just think only like 2 1/2 more months and it's over and you'll have two beautiful babies to run after (and believe me you will run after them).

I am almost 22 weeks, I can still get around ok, but I vacuumed and mopped and cleaned the whole house the other day and I was a MESS. Next morning I woke up with a thumping headache. SO glad i'n not working - can u imagine, I get sooo grumpy when i'm tired and not pregnant. I am so glad that there are ppl here not overly enjoying this so much. I was starting to think there was something wrong with me. Sometimes I tell DH to pretend for a few hours that i'm not pregnant, coz i feel like I am just a walking incubator and not a person anymore. He laughs and humours me and does not mention babies, my belly or anything for a while. I think i just get sick of the staring and ppl asking about it all the time. thanks for sharing - I loved this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hug99:
I have to say that I have loved this thread too! Made me feel better to know I am not alone. DD has strep throat tonight or I would be at my MArvelous Multiples class...I found the same thing there. Women grateful for this gift BUT also uncomfortable and whiny too! It is sooooooo nice to know that I am not alone. I don't even like to talk to women I know who have been pg but not with twins because it is sooooooo different. Thanks ladies for your honestly and the laughs!
