AIBU to really want my babies to be born soon?

[curiositykilled]

30 weeks with twins. I'm not massive, my bump is big but neat, I'm carrying them well. I'm just sick of living such a sedentary lifestyle! I don't really want them to come early, I'm just hoping they'll kindly oblige sometime after 34 weeks when I'll be able to get the birth I want. Apparently I should try to be on bed rest from 34 weeks to try and get them past the 36 week mark. I am not looking forward to that. I want to take my little boy to his first year at school and spend some time with my little girl before my time is completely taken over...

These days though they class twins as being full term at 37 weeks so lets hope they deliver around then

throckenholt - the bed rest is because of SPD, they are big and have been head down for a loooong time.

Of course I know IABU... I don't want them to be forced out or to come before the consultant reckons they'll be OK - 34 weeks or full term - 36 weeks. I'm just so frustrated. Being on bed rest will prob be better than not because if I wasn't I'd be up and down to school on the bus with ds and running round after dd all day and would probably end up in labour. Between the SPD and sickness I think I've lost almost the entire year.

Hey curiosity

I know how you feel!! Trying to settle in for the final 3 (or 4 - please not 4!) weeks but not sleeping, awful sicky heartburn and SPD is not pleasant.

Mine are also big - at 32 weeks on 50th and 76th centile for weight - (on the singletons chart!) - but trying to get to 36 weeks (when they will be 6 1/2 lbs each). Only 2 weeks to go till 36 weeks!!

Hang in there girl!! Will be worth it in the end!

Hang in there, even each extra day that they stay in is a bonus for when they come out. Mine were born at 38 weeks (full term; they really didn't want to come out!) at a good size and I was really thankful for that. I remember the "just want them out" stage even 8 years later!!

Yes your time will be taken over when they arrive but you will get your life back
good luck!

Hi zippy,

You mustn't tell momma I have ventured on AIBU again, she'll get cross! lol

Thanx for kind words everyone!

you are going to feel sooo good in a few weeks when you have them then Hang in there - it will over soon - and then you will have two great babies you have grown.

hold on to them as long as you can. If you think you're going out of your mind now, it's an easy kind of going out of your mind compared with staring at a twig-like baby hoping that somehow, even though you've no control over it, he flourishes and is ok.

My son was born early, and although he has no hearing or sight problems, he has terrible eczema, he has asthma, he had Global developmental delays across the board. I thnk long term he'll be ok. I'm in Ireland so I can make the choice to delay his school entry until he's five and a half... so, hoping by then he'll have more or less caught up.

take to your bed and suck up the boredom!!
