27 weeks in a few days, I feel great besides the rib pain and lower pains when I sit. My ribs burn!!

And I agree- the next person to say "oh, it only gets worse!" When I say I'm tired, or tells me a horror story, Is going to find me whooping their butt lol.

I'm just SO TIRED.

I mean exhausted. I'm 26 weeks and I also have kidney disease which comes with a lot of fatigue anyway, but my SO and I are moving in together (we met because he moved across the hall from my apartment and we are neighbors ;)) to a bigger place, and I can't even get myself to start packing because I'm SO EXHAUSTED. That, and the heartburn sucks, but really besides the fatigue, heartburn, and SPLITTING RIB PAIN, I loooooove feeling my baby :) my horrible extreme hormones have calmed down and my morning sickness is finally over with, so as long as I nap and eat a lot, I'm loving being pregnant with my baby girl :)

I occationally get it if I sleep awkwardly! I know it's going to get harder carrying two babies as they get bigger. But we have made it this far and we are coping well :) x

I second staying positive! Too much negativity :/ I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow with my twins and the only thing physically hurting me is the sciatica pain. Which hits me if I over do it throughout the day. Other than that I feel amazing!

I'm loving second trimester and hoping to not get sick once third comes! Just worried about how huge I'm gonna be lol

As for people telling us to prepare ourselves and it only gets worse... I just ignore them & all their "advice".

I work as an infant and toddler teacher at a daycare.. I take care of every one's kid for them while they work soooo I think just maybe I can handle having my own lol those kids give me all the advice I need

24+4 still suffering with hyperemesis. 24/7 nausea is just the pits!

Feeling more energetic since having an iron infusion so that's a bonus!

This bub is breech and I'm feeling kicks in such different places to my other pregnancies. Amazing!!

That last part is SO true! I can't say anything without other women telling me "just wait, it's gonna get worse" so annoying!

We will all get though it together and have beautiful babies on the near future. Being in the Feb group it's nice to have everyone around the same stage and knowing we all get each other's support!

I wish people would be more positive! Every person is just a ray of sh*t storm trying to make pregnancy and labor sound like the worst thing ever. It isn't encouraging, I hate it! When people try to talk to me about bad things that could or might happen, I tell them to stop and thank them for their concern and walk away as politely as I can. I'm only looking for good vibes, I have enough fear of my own to have other people add to it.

I'm 24+3, and feeling great! I've felt great all pregnancy! I'm starting to get some increased hunger similar to what I felt in first tri "OMG if I don't eat right now I might be sick", but aside from that and some hemorrhoids I'm doing great. I love feeling the baby kicking me all the time and some days just want to do nothing but feel those little kicks all day long.

Second trimester beats first trimester hands down! I love being able to feel the baby but I agree that my baby must be trying to get me used to sleep deprivation too. It seems like I am up at least 5 times in the night with loo, hip pain or kicks. Sorry you are suffering so much @nyra30 but you are right, it will be so worth it!

That's why I'm feeling lucky nyra. I know it will get worse but right now I'm coping. Twin pregnancies are hard and people have it a lot worse than me so I'm enjoying now while I can.

Hope you ok!

Everyday is a challenge for me.. Suffering through every pregnancy issue possible to its most extreme extent....; but, there is a but...I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT IT IS ALL WORTH IT X2!!!!

27 weeks tomorrow feeling alright. Heartburn is getting bad, and starting to get painful hips. Other than that...bring on the 3rd trimester!

Haha it's a rule that people can ask the rudest questions to pregnant women!

I'm a sarcastic person so I do like to reply with awkward replies!! When asked if I think my babies will look like me or their dad I replied...

It will be a surprise to me too...I don't know what their dad looks like...damn orgy!

I know! Every night at 3am I have to get up to pee.

And why do people ask if the pregnancy was expected? That's so freaking rude!! Who in their right mind thinks that's an acceptable thing to ask someone?!

Yes! They say it like you have gone into pregnancy completely blind! I've not slept a full night since I was 5 weeks! Probably babies way of preparing me for the future!

I second all of what you have said. The only thing I'm suffering from is horrendous heartburn at all hours of the day and night.

You're so right though - everyone seems to relish in telling you how hard it all is and how I should appreciate life as it is now. It's like, yes, I am aware it's going to be difficult, I don't need you to keep telling me that.

And everyone wants to tell you birth horror stories! Whyyyy???
