You may want to go ahead and close out this post if you don’t like negativity. Ha, kidding....well not really. But, seriously….woah. A slight change in tone from yesterday:-)
EVERYTHING hurts. Things have gone downhill fast the past 10 days. I feel good for the first few hours in the morning and then the back pain sets in….along with the hip and leg pain. And the ITCHING…this just started. WHAT the WHAT!?! Don’t know what is causing it but my whole upper body itches desperately bad…a lot. Weird, right? I probably still try and do too much considering I am 34 weeks pregnant with TWINS. A lot of people are on bed rest at this point…so I’m thankful for that, but I do know I have to start resting more. I came home yesterday and laid on the couch on my side for about 45 minutes and it helped so much.
My wardrobe. Ha. I think I wear the same 5 dresses over and over and over. Sorry, friends. Nothing else is comfortable and I sure as heck don’t care to spend any more money on maternity clothes at this point. There are definitely some things that I can’t wear anymore b/c the belly is so big. YIKES.
Speaking of the belly….. I really don’t know how it can get bigger, but yet I know it will and it TERRIFIES me. I seriously look like I swallowed a huge watermelon. HUGE, I tell ya. Ain’t no way I’m coming out of this one without stretch marks. I mean, holy.
I’m not so much ready to have the babies yet….I definitely want them in there at least another 3 weeks…. So I pray that nothing changes that, but LORDY MERCY ME….I am SO BEYOND READY to NOT HURT. But, you know what? I’m not even going to get that luxury right away b/c these little turds are breech and I have to have a c section….which means more pain. UGH. Will it EVER end? (I know it will and I know these little boys will be WORTH EVERY moments pain….but this post is for me to vent :-) ) I have to admit I’m pretty scared about the c section. I know people get them and doctors perform them every day….it just scares me. I don’t know if I like the feeling of knowing I’m awake and they are cutting me open….it gives me the heeeebeeeejeeeeebeeeees.
WADDLE WADDLE. I seriously waddle everywhere. It sucks. But I have so much pressure I can’t NOT waddle. Fun times, right?
So ….let’s recap: back pain, leg pain, hip pain, itching, pressure, no clothes to wear, c section apprehension…. Okay, I’ll quit bitching now.
I just have to record my honest thoughts too….you know, so no one thinks it’s all rainbows and butterflies all the time. I’m definitely NOT one of those pregnant people.
Xoxo
I just cannot even imagine being pregnant with twins. I was miserable with my singletons.
ReplyDeleteAbout the c/s though, it's not awful. I had them with both my girls, and the second one (planned, didn't go into labor) was easy-peasy. Just TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS! With my first, I was all about trying to be "Oh, I feel fiiiiine!"... Then an hour later be kicking myself. When I had my 2nd, I took the pain meds every 4 hours for the first 2-3 days, and really didn't feel any pain at all. (And recovery from a planned c/s is SO MUCH EASIER than one where you have to labor/push first!)
