MIKKI-question for ya!

[Guest guest]

Hey Mikki!

Hope everything is going well for you and the two cutie-pies! I

have a twin question for you... (hope it's not too much info)

Ok, for the past 2 weeks or so, I have really been expanding and

feeling the weight of carrying 2 babies as opposed to one. I

sometimes feel a pressure like feeling (below the bikini line if you

know what I mean) and usually hours later or even the next day when

I am finally able to go to the bathroom, the pressure is pretty much

gone. So, I am assuming that this pressure is caused from the fact

that my bowels are pretty much being squished by two babies right

now and that's why I feel what I feel. Did you ever have this kind

of problem when you were this far along in your pregnancy? I will be

14 weeks Wednesday.

When I get this feeling, it sometimes starts freaking me out because

I'm not sure if it's normal or not. I sometimes feel like my belly

is just so heavy and I get little twinges and little pains every now

and then, but nothing major. Most of the time, they're so

insignifficant that if I am on the phone or involved in a television

show that I forget they're even there. Considering the outcome of my

last pregnancy, I don't know what I am supposed to feel or what I am

not! I don't know what's " normal! " Plus, I still have a lingering

cough from when I was sick last month and everytime I cough, I tense

up and try not to " push " where I don't need to be pushing if you

know what I mean. So now, I think that by doing that, I have made my

abdominal muscels sore and that is a lot of what I'm feeling as

well. As you can see, I'm extremely paranoid! LOL!

Anyway, just wondering what kinds of little pains or pressure you

had this early on in your pregnancy. It's hard to ask people who

have only been pregnant with one baby because they don't understand

the added " pressure " we're under this early on!

Thanks!

Layci
