Not really sure how to phrase this and I know I'll sound like I'm whining and rambling but here goes...
I'm currently 20w pg. Since finding out I'm having with twins I feel completely alone. I don't know anyone who has ever had twins. No one on either side of our families have ever had twins, nor have any of our friends.
With all the added risk I was told about and the numerous complications that could occur I have done nothing but worry so far with this pregnancy, when I was enjoying every second of it when I had DS.
I have also found that I have been quite ill, due to what I'm told is the increased amount of hormones with twins, and feel like I'm just complaining all the time now I have reached the 2nd trimester. All of my other pregnant friends are feeling fantastic and I'm still suffering with bouts of sickness, headaches and mood swings.
I have also found that the more rapidly expanding bump has created a hell of a lot more aches and pains, and I'm struggling to do things I should be fine with, if I were at this stage with a singleton, like walking at a normal speed, lifting things and sitting/sleeping comfortably.
I'm even beginning to get to the stage where I can only eat small portions due to how squashed everything is becoming, and the heartburn/reflux is awful! (I take ranitidine which has even stopped working as of late!)
Since I don't know anyone who has ever been in this situation I have no one to ask things/complain to/get a bit of reassurance that things are 'normal'. There is a 4 week wait to see my MW so it's not easy to get in touch with a medical professional if I have any queries/concerns either.
Sorry for the long and miserable post.
