I felt great up until about 34w when I started to swell. Each week I became more uncomfortable until she was born at 38w. It was a longggg month!

Yeah, right about then! The third trimester hit and things got annoying!

Um 16 weeks? My heartburn became unbearable then! Last week, right before 25 weeks I was coming home crying from work most nights because of the pain in my ribs and hips and not being able to eat much of anything without feeling sick. I've heard twin moms commonly hit a 24 week wall, though. Hopefully my belly will start growing out more so there's more room for them soon! May will be here before we know it, right? (Fingers crossed)

Probably 35-36w. But weeks 39&40 were a whole new level of "shoot me & take me out of my misery" for me.

I think it was around 35-36 weeks. It was just hard to move around and sleeping started to get really uncomfortable at that point.

Probably around 27-28 weeks. I remember at 28 weeks I was having a hard time walking around shopping with my mom and I was in a lot of pain afterwards. It only got worse since then!

We took a cross country road trip at 26 weeks, and I had horrible sciatic pain and just couldn't get comfortable. It wasn't awful all the time from then on, but it was definitely the beginning of it.

From 28-33 weeks she was kicking me in the ribs. That was uncomfortable but bearable. From 36-38 weeks (went into labor at 38+5), I was really uncomfortable...like "am I only 36 weeks pregnant?" uncomfortable.

I was very uncomfortable from like 25-28 weeks, then I was fine again, then I was uncomfortable from 37 weeks on. The last 3 weeks were really really rough for me.

Never got uncomfortable with my last pregnancy but DS was really small so that's probably why. I think towards the end I started to get a weird version of heartburn where I got a bad taste in my mouth after eating but it was not a big deal at all.

The last 8 weeks were uncomfortable for me. I had a late summer baby, so being big was tough when I was hot and sweaty. I swear it took months for my sweat glands to readjust to normal.

Right around week 27ish LO moved up into my rib cage and camped until he was born. I had to sleep on a recliner to be comfortable. Around week 33 I started to wear a panty liner all the time because I was peeing everyone I coughed or laughed. And then finally at week 37 my ankles swelled up so bad I could only wear flip flops

With #1 I thought I was uncomfortable, then I hit 37 weeks and hit a whole new level of miserable. I feel sorry for my husband living with me those last 2 weeks.

I'm at 34 now with #2 and feel pretty crummy (but MUCH less swollen this time) but I know there will be another level of misery coming up soon enough.

My husband is asking when I will say that I miss pregnancy after this one arrives- not sure if I ever will again, I told him I may even put money on that statement. This guy is posterior, so his kicks are NOT cute and fun like #1 was, pretty much everything hurts at this point. He dropped a little bit around 28 weeks, that was a whole new level of relief, I was getting bruising from the inside near the right side of my ribs that was horribly painful.

I'm 29 weeks and have had bouts of feeling uncomfortable (ie, I had lots of RLP just from walking our dogs around 24 weeks or so but that has gotten better as I've figured out walking more slowly helps, times when I felt really constipated, times I had trouble sleeping, etc). But overall, I still feel pretty good. Sometimes my back and shoulders ache after working all day, but I'm not constantly uncomfortable yet. I'm sure it's coming though! I'm not that swollen or even that big yet--I've only put on about 10lbs and since baby weighs like 3 right now that really isn't much--so I'm basically waiting for the other shoe to drop!
