Most of this blog is happy and up; we've been so blessed with this pregnancy and I don't want to overshadow that with complaints. However, I do want to remember both the challenges and the joys of this pregnancy.
The babies are growing. What a wonderful thing! One of the things you find out shortly after you become pregnant with twins is just how much the growing and stretching of the uterus will hurt. The uterus grows at an amazing rate in a singleton pregnancy, and most women experience the discomfort of this from time to time. But with twins, the joy is DOUBLED! Oy. I literally feel like I have someone pulling my insides apart which makes me want to run away from myself - to get away from the pulling stretching nausea - it's just so weird! And nothing helps; not food, drink, laying down, standing up, walking - when the babies grow, the babies grow!
Thankfully, they've been good to me. They usually give me a day or two of respite between growth spurts, so I feel fantastic every few days, and the other days its really hour by hour. And they warn me, with a bout of nausea the night before the growth spurt. Am I complaining slightly? OK, yes. But overall I'm thankful for this progress - no pain, no gain!
