First tri for me, was terrible. I had awful morning sickness, bloatedness, and a lot of trapped wind. I sometimes found my self asleep on the sofa with a cup of tea in my hand, how I didn't spill it I'll have no idea. I'd had two previous miss carries so was paranoid everytime I went to the toilet or had a twinge and questioned everything. When I reached the 2nd tri I breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear about horror stories of other twin mums giving birth 4 months early! It certainly is an emotional roller coaster. You get double hormone levels too, I had a few shouting matches with my poor partner, one in the street!! All down to me over reacting of course. Oh and then there was the finding out of their sex, I cried with joy for weeks after we found out we were expecting girls. As we have a 5 year old boy, so it was just so special to be having girls. But yes as Mon said 2nd tri I had loads of energy and managed to get loads done.
I am now entering my 3rd tri at over 26 weeks and am starting to lose that energy, feeling very tired by the afternoon and sleeping is a challenge. I look like I should be around 35 weeks, so belly is huuuge! You gals in your early stages keep slapping on the cream to help prevent stretch marks. And above all make sure you get plenty of rest, no over doing it you're carrying precious cargo in that there tums of yours. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
