I can’t anymore

So my twins are 18months, and atp I’m a very tired . Having preemies does not end at the NICU , and for this very reason i will not have any more kids. I’m constantly at appointments
Regular appointments
Eye appointments
Dentist appointment
Developmental appointments
Therapy appointments
After completing physical therapy now my twins need speech and OT therapy .
I just don’t see how I can complete my degree or find a job anymore. I just need to vent . Tips or advice appreciated 🥲

You'll survive this and look back at the his time with pride because you did it.
Right now everything might seem never ending and everything is too much. But you're little ones will grow up, you will grow with them and things will get easier. Don't underestimate what sleep deprivation does to you.
I know it's totally cliché and might be annoying to hear, but it helped me so much to really be present and enjoy the small moments of joy when I could. Little hands around your finger, a tiny laugh, seeing them get stronger, learn, grow.
Hang in there mama, your feelings are normal and things will get better.

Completely understand this. I feel so overwhelmed with all the appointments I’ve got not only got myself but my 2 older kids and my baby. Its a lot to remember

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
