Ok, I am cheating because I am 25 weeks and not technically quite 3rd trimester. I am justifying it because with twins fullterm is considered 36 weeks, plus I am so big!!! that my body IS physically well into the later part of pregnancy.
The HG is still here =(. It's not constant though, I do have good days and bad days. I'm grateful there are good days because I hate the bad ones. I still have my PICC line in. I was doing daily fluids- but now I have compromised with my MF dr to doing them "as needed". I still think that doing a bag every night keeps me having the most good days in a row, but he wanted to pull my PICC line weeks ago. Didn't want me "dependent" on the fluids. Hmmm, ok. Of course NOT being sick is what I want too- more than he does that's for sure!
I am struggling to keep a good attitude and spirit. I'm 25 weeks, and I seem to get bigger daily, and I already feel that I can't GET any bigger. And the sad part is I'm not THAT big!! With my son the HG was worse than it is now (partially I think because I didn't have a PICC or get fluids often enough) but one good thing was I carried very small wtih him. It was truly the last 4 weeks where I felt the uncomfortable bigness of pregnancy (and all the joys that brings).
Oh did I mention we just bought a house and are in the process of moving?? I am utterly useless. I can barely do ANY unpacking or cleaning because I'm too exhausted and weak. I have lost muscle mass and tone from the HG. I have my next appt today and I have to ask the Dr about some pain I've been having. I think I either have a muscle strain or separation (my lower left abdominal muscle). I'm not even staying at my new house yet, because I have a 4 year old and a husband who works 6 days a week, 16 hour days. I'm still at my parents home.
I'm ready for the HG to end. I want to feel HUNGRY I want to be able to EAT like I should and gain weight! I'm "supposed" to gain 50 lbs with this pregnancy??? I wish I could! I long to drink as much as I want and keep myself hydrated and eat and gain back the weight I've lost. =(
Sometimes I feel it's just TOO much, HG and the double burden of two babies. I just know these babies will be coming early and I worry they will be too early. I desperately want a vaginal delivery and two babies that are well enough that I can HOLD after they are born, not wisked away and so little they need breathing tubes and the NICU. I don't even trust my body will do what my babies need it to do.
I'm set for an u/s today and hopefully I will have gained a little weight since my last appt. Sorry to whine. But I know that only we who have been there understand these feelings
