Hi, i am 33 weeks 2 days with di/di twins, I hate ringing hospitals/midwives I always feel like I'm wasting their time. Anyway, my fingers are slightly swollen I noticed it two days ago I've had to take my ring off because of it. I woke up around 2am today shaking and feeling very dizzy I got up and went to the bathroom and I have quite a jazzy bath mat 🤣 I couldn't stand to look at it it made my head feel like it was wobbling. I went back to bed still shivering and feeling sick and I must have fell asleep because that was it til I got up this morning. I've felt drained all day, no energy, just want to lay down. I can't describe it I just don't feel right. But I don't want to ring the hospital and say "hi sorry I just don't feel right " 🫣 I don't know what to do.

Can't be too careful with twins. I called the hospital when I was feeling 'off-colour' with mine at 35 weeks.

Despite not having contractions, I was in labour and had them 4 hours later!!

Good luck xx

Glad u are going in, I had similar symptoms when I had preeclampsia so good that they are going to check you out. Take care & hope all is well.

100% ring them.

Im 38 weeks and I think I’ve rung them 3 times throughout my pregnancy, each time I went in for monitoring but better to be safe than sorry.

So blood pressure a little high, temp a little high nothing too concerning though they said so that's good. Just having the twins heart rate monitored one is a bit higher than the other so they've gone to show the dr, don't know if that's a problem but they didn't seem too concerned? Hoping everything OK and I can go home hopefully just a little bug or something 🤞

🤞🤞that you’ll be back home tonight, reassured that you and the twins are doing ok.

Hope you and your babies are ok. I'd be worried if I had an infection going on that had got to the babies if its effecting one heart rate but I'm sure they're looking into this. (Hopefully babies heart rate settled again) wouldn't leave until you know exactly what's going on and go straight back with any further concerns. Hope you're all ok. I'm sure they won't let you leave though if they're concerned x

Yes i was back home within a couple of hours with the all clear 😊 the bigger twin was performing some sort of dance show in there which is what the dr put the higher heart rate down to 😂 little twin has always been quieter she's more chilled, in the end they both settled nicely so all was well. I still don't feel myself but maybe I'm just knackered with being pregnant 😴 I have horrendous heart burn 24/7 , PGP , my legs ache , I've been having contractions on and off for days now, I can't get enough sleep 24 hours wouldn't be enough 😅 I'm just done I think, physically I'm so drained. Told to rest as much as possible but with 4 other children that's a big ask 🫠 fingers crossed for a nice , natural, easy birth (soon pls🤣) so I can have my body back 😅 thanks again everyone x

Glad to hear everything is ok op. No wonder you are exhausted with four other dc and a twin pregnancy. Is your husband or dp stepping up? You need some rl support at this stage op. Don’t hold back in speaking out 💐

Glad all is OK. Hopefully the end is nigh!
