lol I have both problems...I get kicks in the foof, etc, but also get the pressure on my diaphragm and ribs from my traverse twin....can't imagine how cramped it is in there already for them and still 7 weeks more growing to go....

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? A couple of times the night before last I was woken up by BH. I have been getting them since week 22 and they have definitely been getting more intense in the past few days which my midwife tells me is normal, especially when carrying...

I had a bad cough for two weeks and have only just gotten over it. I completely feel for you as I know it was very painful to cough and it also kept me up in the night so I was even more tired than normal! When I asked my consultant if she could give me anything, the only thing she was happy...

We haven't DTD in about 6 weeks which is a shame as I was really up for it just before we stopped. The thing that made me stop was feeling swollen, etc, down there as you other ladies have experienced, and also that when I actually had an orgasm, it was pleasureable, yes, but also uncomfortable...

I get this feeling, too, mainly when I'm lying down in bedand have to move from one side to the other (which takes me about 5 minutes to do! lol) I also feel it when I first get out of bed but luckily it goes after a little while. Luckily for me, it hasn't gotten worse as such, it's just been...

Yes, it can be quite annoying, the things people ask and say! Everytime I tell people it's twins I usually get nice comments (oh, what a blessing and how exciting) but sometimes get..."ooh, double trouble!" or "you'll have your hands full!" I just smile and nod lol. I don't really need to be...

Wow, what a bargain! I got a full travel system for my twins including frame, detatchable seats, attachable infant car seats, and accessories for £500 - the frame and seats alone being £800! Crazy the prices for new they charge, so if you can find a bargain, well done!

I have been getting these in differing intensities and different timings since about 22 weeks. I've mentioned them to my consultant and he said they can either be tightenings from the uterus expanding or BH. Either way, he said they are nothing to worry about unless they are regular (like every...

It's funny but I was just saying to my OH these babies are really hurting my insides - it's like they're trying to get out through my skin! Then I read this thread lol. I absolutely love feeling and seeing them move most of the time, but sometimes it gets really uncomfortable, especially like...

Ah, I feel for you! Maybe because I'm in exactly the same boat as you! I've been coughing and now it's hurting my stomach muscles (if I still have any). I had a scan today and all is well, which is a relief, but all my consultant could give me is a linctus for the cough and nothing much for...

Personally, I did feel quite tired in Tri 1 but put it down to my age (I'm 39) but other than that, I didn't feel any differently to when I was carrying my singleton. I have heard that extra morning sickness may be an indication, but since every pregnancy is different, I suppose it's hard to...

Ooh yes I agree with just about everything on here...putting on socks, getting up from the settee, picking anything up (I just leave stuff on the floor now and OH and DS pick them up for me! lol), etc, etc, etc! My embarrasing bump story of the week (and it's only Monday) is that I went to...

Hi and congratulations! I know what a shock it is to be told you're having twins as I was in the same boat as you 11 weeks ago lol. As it's your first pregnancy, you won't know anything different so just listen to your body and rest up when you can, etc. A positive attitude helps as I would...

How nice to find someone else on here having twins :). I hope you're getting on ok...are they your first or do you have other children? Anyway, I was really struggling finding a twin pram as I ideally wanted a tandem travel system with infant car seats but found they were upwards of £800...

I've had this feeling on and off for quite a few weeks. It's pretty uncomfortable, isn't it?!?!
