Hi Ladies, I read the posts every day but don't always comment. Feel as though I might just be complaining. :drama:
I am 24 weeks today with my twins. I am struggling with heartburn! I have no appetite and I have a lot of discharge! Sorry TMI! Not sure if this is all normal. I have some dizzy spells, but I assume it's from my low blood sugar. Everyone at work keeps telling me I am very pale.
I also have the sciatic pain, the rib pain (it knocks the breath out of me sometimes!) and the cramping of legs and feet. My feet keep swelling and I had to take off my wedding ring cause it doesn't fit anymore. I have not started with the nursery yet. :worry:
My next appointment is on 11th April.
So happy to hear everyone is doing well. I just feel so uncomfortable and sore! And so very emotional!!! :tissue:

Have you tried acupressure or acupuncture at all? this can help alot with sciatic nerve amongst other pains.
With your heartburn have you tried tums? i used that a lot with my first bubba.
Hiya again Ladies,
So just got back from my 20 week morphology scan unfortunately no potty pics the sonographer was training a newbie so whilst there was lots of shots they were mostly of the heart and that sort of thing, I did ask to find out gender and he asked the trainee and she said boy and then he said really and had a look for himself and said no GIRL!!
I did ask him if i could have a potty shot of that and he said oh no I didn't take that pic you'll just have to trust me on that one lols.
So alas I know I'll have to pay for another scan to get the double confirmation I want so annoying, I'll have to get another referral for that. Oh well you get that lmao
I did a cute face shot though

Oh TwinMom2! Please don’t keep quiet because you think it will just be complaining. We all at that stage of discomfort and we are here to comfort each other as MIka said! MIka miss you girl!! How you doing?!??
Oh my pinkinthestars I bet your heart sunk when the new one said that! Mine would’ve! Boo that he didn’t get a picture! I’m so excited for your little girl though!

MeganB, huge congratulations on your baby girl!!! Have fun picking out stuff for your vintage floral nursery! How fun!!!
Mommy2apples, I believe I have 2.5 weeks left before starting maternity leave.
DreamingRainbow, I think as we start getting further along and closer to delivery, our thread will probably pick up pace more again.

How's the shopping for your little girl going?
Ellirosanne- 2.5 weeks left Eek! How's the rib pain etc?

Ellirosanne not long at all then!!
DreamingRainbow! You’ll be pleasantly surprised when baby is born! Pbn sure was!
We are pretty much done with shopping. Just picking a few things up now and then. I have her clothes up to 3-6 months. Then mil is having a baby shower I’ll be like 36 weeks. So I’m sure we will more than likely get plenty of blankets, that’s the main thing you get at baby showers I think.. have you been shopping? Attachment 39202

Pink in the stars, I hope your GDM test comes back well! That drink is truly awful! Great face shots! Your baby girl is precious!
Twinmom2, don't worry! You're not complaining! I think all your miserable discomforts are normal for twin pregnancy. I feel exactly the same way with mine. I'm taking Pepcid once to twice a day and that's really helping with the heartburn, although I haven't found anything to help with this intense rib pain though. I have a lot of discharge too, so much that I'm starting to wear panty liners!
Pinkcomestrue, I'm not due for about 12 more weeks, EEK! It seems so close yet so far away both at the same time!
Dreamingrainbow, Oh gosh, the rib pain is truly awful sometimes
Mommy2apples, cute!!!! I still haven't accomplished anything for the nursery yet! Eeeeek! LOL
Thanks Ellirosanne! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

glad you are doing ok mommy2apples, its hard to keep up with the other 4 kids thats for sure! I had OB appt today fundal height is 27 at 24 weeks must be that stretched uterus lol love the cot set too !
Thanks Grace! Yes it sure is! School will be out soon thankfullly then baseball season for two of my boys that will take us into a couple of weeks before Emmalyn is born! I love it though as I’m sure you do as well! A non busy life would be so boring!Quote:

I agree ladies, a non-busy life would truly be boring. If only I could freeze time when it's overwhelming me to get caught up though LOL
Isn’t that for sure Ellirosanne!Quote:

Well, I failed my 3rd trimester 1 hour glucose test yesterday, (no surprise there) so now I will have to do the 3 hour fasting glucose test again. It’ll be a couple weeks before I can leave my toddler home with Dad to go do it so I’ll just have to eat sensibly in the mean time.
I’m sorry Ellirosanne ☹️ that’s a pain! [emoji1317] you pass the three hour. I have to take mine the 19th. Dreading it.Quote:

I have another glucose test coming up soon. I’d prefer to avoid it if it were possible. I’ve passed the other ones so far, but as pregnancy progresses my numbers get worse until I eventually fail. I’m guessing I’ll end up on insulin in my third trimester, which is typical for me. It’s not a big deal and I don’t mind the insulin at all, I just hate all the glucose tests I have to do in the meantime. LOL
I don’t blame you bunnygirl me too! Mines the 19th. I had gd with my fourth baby. Praying for the both of us we don’t have it this time.

Mommy2apples, best of luck for your test the 19th!
Pinkinthestars, thank you!
Bunnygirl, I agree, the tests are horrible. And I remember how awful and mean the diabetes nurses were my last pregnancy. They’d check in with me twice a week to go over my meals and glucose testing results, and by the time I got off the phone I’d feel so discouraged and spanked. I’d get off the phone crying....and I was so worried they’d label me non-compliant in my chart, (since I see their notes in other pgs directly in post partum).
Hey everyone!
Trying to get caught up on the thread to see how everyone has been doing. It's been a BUSY 3 weeks with travel and deadlines but all is well and baby girl is growing and moving a LOT! I love all the updated baby bump and nursery pics!! I haven't really done anything baby related and I'm 26 weeks now (well I did get the travel system and swing set recently and would pick up clothes every now and again). I'm looking forward to having a shower in June since I will be starting completely over with this one.
11 weeks to go!!! Time is moving fast and I have so much to do!! :nails:

I just had to email my readings in. They didn’t care about what I ate because I already ate well to begin with.Quote:

Ladies I'm sorry to see some of you are having to do the diabetes test. Is it standard where u all live? I've never had it done on previous pregnancies and no mention of it this time? Omg my diet is pretty awful- sweets, chic, crisps every day!
I'm still waiting for my 2nd trimester mojo to appear (23w today!) Any one else still suffering with tiredness? I feel I eat sugary cr@p to keep me going throughout the day.

MLKA, I feel the same way! I bought the car seats, and a few outfits, the crib bedding and I already have the crib, and I just bought curtains and brought home some pain samples. I've been working on cleaning out the spare room that we're turning into the nursery.
Mommy2apples, I'm feeling the normal discomforts of pregnancy with twins, lol. I think everything is going well so far other than the GDM test.....
DreamingRainbow, Wow! Where do you live!? It's standard here in USA! I wish I didn't have to do it lol
Thank you DreamingRainbow! Aww bet they loved being involved! The kids love it when they get to be apart of it! Yes she is! She was team green too!Quote:

DreamingRainbow I’m always tired and yes the gd testing is mandatory here in the states.

Ellirosanne so glad you are feeling pretty normal! I can imagine a twin pregnancy takes a lot out of you!

28 weeks and I feel like a big ole blimp. Will be so glad when Emmalyn comes and I can shed all these added pounds. I am embracing it and so extremely happy about her, the weight not so much! Lol [emoji85]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...62d373f0c0.jpg
