mixed emotions

Yesterday i began to have contractions really bad so my nurses called my doctor who instructed Them to check my cervix. I was 3cm dilated and they could feel my one of my daughter's head. My doctor decided to take me back for c-section. After getting prepped for everything, he checked my cervix himself and decided that we weren't going to go through with the c-section and gave me 3 meds to stop contractions. Afterwards i refused to speak with him or the nurses. I'm only 33 weeks but I'm physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. They don't understand what it's like to carry twins on your first pregnancy. I'm 5'0 and all belly. I didn't gain any weight outside of my belly so I'm super tired and feel super heavy. I just need some relief.

Thank you. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that the longer i stay pregnant, the better chance they have of coming home with me

I pray you have a safe delivery when the time comes. I had my twins at 35 and they came home before I. Good luck with everything.

I can only imagine how you're feeling. Im only 23 weeks with twins and I'm already super uncomfortable. Nobody knows how hard it is to carry two if they haven't done it. I'm also 5'0 and this is torture for short women. I'm being consumed by belly. I hope that your babies are healthy whenever they come and that you get some relief soon. Sending you good thoughts, mama ♡♡

Thank you guys. I understand the importance of them staying in as long as possible but I've been confined to this hospital for almost 4 weeks and I'm just ready to go home. I know my doctor made the call that was best but it just really pissed me off to go through all of that prepping only to be sent back to antepartum. He just wants me to make it 34 weeks which is only 5 days away but i couldn't handle it if i had to go through that again.

I totally feel your pain , being pregnant with boy girl twins myself currently at 33weeks + 4 days. I'm soo tired and drained and heavy , I also haven't gained any weight apart from belly but the strain on my back has gotten so bad I have to have physio . I keep wishing they'd come each time I feel a twinge or tightening as twins normally come before 36 weeks so I've read up. As much j want them to develop I want them out of me now now now . Hang in there I would be fuming coming so close then being stopped . It's very mentally provoking especially as it's my firsts as well

You do want your babies to cook as long as possible. Their lungs are probably not completely done yet. I know you are  probably sucking right now but its for them

In fairness 33 weeks is very early..yeah pregnancy is uncomfortable and painful whether its one baby or mulitples but we gotta suffer and soldier on for the sake of having healthy babies..no doubt your doctor made the right call at your stage..just hang in there a little bit longer

If your doctor's felt like a csection wasn't best,at this moment I would trust them. 33 weeks is still VERY early, the babies could be born with some serious problems if they arnt finished developing. Of course it's uncomfortable and painful but it is what's best for your babies.
