Hi Gals I am so glad I found this thread. I am 32 weeks and expecting boy/girl twins.
I am also feeling the discomfort of 3rd tri and my belly is massive! i recently had a premature labour scare - but thankfully all OK - you can read all about it in my blog.
My recommendation is to really rest when you can. i was meant to work up until this Friday, but instead had the TPL scare 3wks ago at 29 wks so work was abruptly cut short. In hindsight should have slowed down and organised to finish earlier.
Have had the discomfort of sore back, swollen feet (feet one size bigger) and swollen fingers (rings no longer fit). My sis is 2 months behind me in her pg. She is 24 weeks and I was her size at 16 wks!!! Suffer from belly envy. More so because singleton pg belly's look like they are more comfortable - but in same breath am feeeling so blessed to have 2. I am finding it really hard to sleep at night. i now snore and even though have heaps of pillows still find it uncomfortable. My biggest discomfort is around the rib area which feels like i have pulled my muscles from the strain and weight of my belly. always seem to strain it when changing positions in bed, which have to fully get up and change posi's. And have been getting heaps of braxton hicks. I also have spider veins - a few on my belly, but luckilly no stretch marks (yet) the bio oil has really helped.
Am just glad am at home and can take it easy. My DH is doing everything. all the houseweork and cleaning (bless him!) thank god my mother in law arrives in 3 weeks and will stay with us for 3-4 months and will be a huge help.
i just hope to make it to at least 34 weeks where can breathe a sigh of relief. i am booked in for a c/section at 38 weeks though and that would be a real blessing to make it that far!
