re: PREGNANT WITH TWINS? (or more)

Quoting Jackson 3 + 2:" Question for twin mommies and mommies to be. Did you work during your pregnancy and if so how long did ... [snip!] ... here and there as a substitute teacher but I think I'm getting to the point that it's not worth the pain and uncomfortableness."

I'm currently still working FT. I do have an office job, so I get to sit and dont have to worry with standing all day or anything. I'mm 22wks and plan on working as long as Dr's will let me. I go for my next Dr visit this Friday and I will have to make him aware of some swelling that has started since last week to see if it's anything he thinks should be concerning.

But if I were you I would say to listen to your body. I don't think it'd be worth the pain either.

I worked until I went into the hospital and then on bedrest at 32 weeks but my job wasn't very demanding. My aunt though, worked full time as a teacher of SN children until she gave birth at 40 weeks to 7lber boys.

Thanks everyone for your input. It sounds like 32 weeks is the end point. I can't imagine how your aunt felt at the end...I'm sure she was ready to go. I will just do the best I can. I try to take jobs I know will not require me to stand up to much. I am good for a little bit but I get a burning pain above my belly button when I am on my feet longer than 20 minutes.

My stomach hurts often to and I'm 27 weeks. I was told by my doctors it's normal but I would like to see what other twin mommies say.

It did! I've never had a pregnancy go so quickly! I sure am ready to have them   Just not sure I'm ready to say goodbye  

Quoting *Momlette*:" 37 weeks today! "

Wow!! You look GREAT! I hope I look as good as you at 37 wks (if I make it that far!)

Thank you!  

There are a few things you can do to increase your chances of having twins. First of all, consume a folic acid supplement that is normally in the form of vitamin B9 prior to conceiving. Basically, consuming this supplement is always recommended for every woman who wants to get pregnant as the supplement prevents neural tube defects.
