    Tight Stomach

    How did you multiple moms tolerate this tight feeling?

     Wow, I feel like I'm about to explode and the babes are only a little over 3 pounds.

    You are at the point where I really had to slow down.  I mean to the point of self-inflicted bedrest.   I was so uncomfy.  It helps to stay off your feet as much as possible.  I bought a grabber arm thing to pick stuff up off the floor.  I started using the motorized carts at the stores, then had groceries delivered when it got too hard to push the cart.  When I was hospitalized for PE at 32 weeks I actually felt a lot better.  I realized that a lot of my aches and pains were from moving and standing too much.  When I was discharged, I stayed home in the recliner most of the day.  I also bought some really loose pants to wear.  That helped with the tight feeling.  Take baths, etc.  I would roll over onto my hand and knees in our bath tub and let my tummy sway in the water.  I never did get to a pool but I've heard that helps too.  GL!  You are almost there.

    TAKE BATHS!!! I totally agree with R4P!!   The bath seemed to take the pressure of my back and joints and was sooooooooo relaxing!!!  I agree too that too much walking and standing would trigger most of my pain and aches!!  REST as much as you can and I know everyone says that but with twin pregnancy you must even when your brain is telling you that you have a million things you need to get done!!!  Hang in there Sweetie!!!   You are in the home stretch!!!  TJ
