Trouble Coping Towards The End Of Twin Pregnancy

by Beth
(Michigan)

I am 35 weeks pregnant with boy/girl twins who both weigh more than 6 lbs as of yesterday. I am so miserable and depressed and just want this over but my doctor wants me to go to 39 weeks when I am scheduled for a c-section. I don't know how I can take 4 more weeks of this misery. How do I cope and make it better? I feel so all alone as no one around me has gone through this.

Thanks,

Beth

i totally understand how you feel im 36 weeks and have two children under the age of 3 the weather is getting warmer and all i really want is to go into labour everyday i wake up thinking todays the day, the worst part of it is the contractions that come and go through the day and night its so uncomfortable and really no one understands, how it feels hopefully, in the next week i can have my twins B/G but i hope all goes well for ya and best thing to do is keep our chins up and be proud to have gone as far as we have.

by: Cierra

I know you have received much support on here already. Just remember that the earlier your babies are, the more likely they are to stay in NICU for longer. Also, the longer they stay inside you, the more alert, smiley, and active they will be coming out.

I really struggled at the end of my second pregnancy with just wanting it to be over and hold my baby. This time, I am letting them come whenever they are ready whether it be 37 weeks, 38, 39, 40 or more. Most likely not more! ;)

Make sure you don't lose yourself or your passions during your pregnancy. Read a lot of books not about pregnancy and birth if you have to. Good Luck Mama!

Andi-
youre not over reacting..i mean its hard towards the end and it feels like its taking forever...but when they scheduled my c-section they also put me in at a little over 38 weeks. however i ended up delivering at 35. they want to keep them in as long as they can. so you never know maybe youll end up delivering earlier than the date good luck

I just received my scheduled c-section notification in the mail with instructions! YEAH... until I saw the date! I am currently 35 weeks 5 days and I am not scheduled until 2/17, making me a HUGE 38wk 5 days when I deliver!!!!!! I THINK MY DR IS SMOKING CRACK! Our last sonogram showed the twins to both be 5lbs 3 oz each at 34 weeks. Am I over reacting at this date????

believe me i know..i have harrington rods from scoliosis surgery. when i was pregnant with my b/g twins, i felt like the bigger i got the more miserable i was i didnt think i could make it with the pain i had in my back. i ended up having my c-section at 35 weeks i had the terbutaline pump and they had to take it out because of complications. my son was 6lb 3 oz and my daughter 6 lbs. i didnt realize until they came out how much i missed them being in there. enjoy it and i know it seems hard and it feels like its dragging on but try and relax because you wont once theyre here =]. it goes fast! i miss being pregnant with them everyday! good luck with your babies!!

Hang in there Beth! I am 34 weeks with b/g twins each weighing 5 lbs a piece. I completely understand your emotions!!!! Do you have other children? I have a 5 yr old and a 2.5 yr old that occupy my time more than anything....
I have learned that taking it day by day instead of week by week helps.

I am only 33wks but completely understant. I just don't want to do this anymore. I was put on bedrest as of yesterday. This is my 4 pregnancy and past 3 were so easy, this one is just seems so hard!! Getting to 35wks is a wonderful for the babies I know but nobody tells you how hard it is on the mother. Hang in there as everybody has told me there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Good Luck and Best wishes.

by: Helena

Believe me, I know...I had a C-section January 18th last year at 38 weeks My babies were 6.5lbs and 5.6lbs but they did need to be on oxygen so I wish I would have gone at least 1 more week, but I do remember just hoping my water would break cause those last weeks were hard, but worth it :)
