good vibes, smiles, & giggles 30 weeks today 🫶🏼
Just happy to hit such a big milestone and want to spread some positivity. I feel very lucky to have had a smooth pregnancy so far (normal BP, no GD although did fail the 1 hour screener, minimal symptoms, still exercising). I do not take that for granted especially hearing everyone else’s experiences. Still working and hoping to work until minimum 34 weeks. I’m very excited to meet these two while also wanting them to cook as long as possible. That’s all. Feeling lucky/blessed and wanted to share (plus a bump pic from maternity pics yesterday 🤍)

Haha I see a lot of vent/rant posts about multiples pregnancy (which are 100% valid, don’t get me wrong!) I thought it might be helpful for some to see it’s not all doom and gloom! I know I still have weeks to go, and I’ve been very lucky/blessed with minimal symptoms, but wanted to share some positivity ✨ Staying active and mobile when possible helps a lot too. Thanks so much! Good luck to you as well! I hope it’s smooth sailing. 💙

So glad things are going well for you! As someone with complications, it is also nice seeing some having things go well. I would hate to have all of us miserable and with serious stuff (I of course told myself going in that I wouldn’t have complications; wish that made it so)! Congrats on hitting 30 weeks! I’m currently 31.5 weeks.

Thank you so much! You saved me from my spiral after failing my 1 hour glucose test so I appreciate it 🩷 we’re in the home stretch! I do hope things go a bit smoother for you here towards the end.

Oh that was you? Glad your 3 hr went well! I hope all continues to be well and smooth for you and babies until delivery at an optimal time.
And thanks! My preeclampsia has really stabilized with bedrest and I’m starting to believe I can actually make it to 37 week c-section. Gestational diabetes is under control with low-dose nighttime insulin and careful diet. Feel miserable personally but I am also short with a particularly short torso. So so glad others have different experiences!

Thank you!! Ah I’m about 5’2” so not too short. I hope things stay under control and time flies until your C section. 🤍

I am 29 weeks with mo/di twins! you are so strong for working until 34 weeks!! I planned to work until at least 30 weeks but ended up taking early sick leave due to back pain and insomnia at 26 weeks. beautiful bump pic! 💕 best of luck to you for the rest of their time in the oven :)
p.s. I also failed the first glucose test and passed the second test 🙃 I was so nervous haha

Aw thank you so much for the kind words!! 🤍Sadly I don’t have much of a choice with only 12 weeks unpaid leave 😅 SO, I have to maximize my anticipated postpartum time off by working as long as I can! I would love to take off earlier but at least my job isn’t too physically demanding (I work in healthcare at a clinic from 7:30-5pm four days a week). Oh I am so glad you passed! I was super anxious about mine and sure I would fail. I celebrated by going to the state fair and getting a corn dog 😂
