First Pregnancy

....have any of you, during your pregnancy, become frustrated with everyone else's excitement about your baby/ies (I'm having twins)?

Like...I'm in the home stretch now. Under 6 weeks to go and everyone is so happy and excited about how much they get to love on them and how they'll want for nothing, yadda yadda...

While I'm a whale, mmkay? I'm not sleeping well because every time I go to make a move, I have pelvic girdle pain. Some days, food just doesn't want to stay down. My ankles are finally swelling up and it's HORRIBLE. I'm always tired, always emotional, always just thinking about my impending doom.

I am OVERJOYED that I get to be a mother. I appreciate that others are excited, but I also feel tossed aside and forgotten. While everyone is ready to reap the benefits of my pregnancy, see my cute babies (a boy and a girl) and whatnot....

I'm just at the stage in my pregnancy where I wish it could just be mine. There is a lot of anxiety. I know my heart will explode when I see them because I'm going to just love them so much and be overwhelmed with happiness that they're here and I'm their mommy.

But with that, there is also the reality of labor. I have to do my part and get them out safely. I have to take them home and keep them alive while dealing with what has happened to my body and trying to heal. I have to deal with hormones and all the emotional garbage, trying to keep my head on straight. I have to figure out how to appreciate what little rest I get and accept the reality of how much I'm missing while still adulting, not only for myself, but for two little ones.

Nobody else cares about those things....and I just wish somebody would try harder to.

Until how many weeks did you take cyclogest pessaries? I’m taking it due to 2 previous miscarriages and am 12 weeks now.

Period like cramps at 5 weeks pregnant but no bleeding? Is this normal 😅

My OB will be doing my vaginal examination and GBS swab next week i.e. 35th week. I am a little nervous and anxious. How long is the process generally and how do they do it. Is it really painful. Any advice for getting it done easily??

Hey! Is anybody experiencing excruciating pain on the side? Its kinda like in my rib cage, on the right side. I started feeling it when i was driving for long but it seems to be getting worse, when im sitting during lunch or working i also have this horrible pain now. Does anybody else feel the same or knows how to improve it?
