When do I slow down?????

Question

Hello, I am 26 weeks with boy/girl twins. I am huge and uncomfortable to say the least. I asked my dr the question and didn't really get and answer so I'm hoping you guys can help. 
I have a very busy life. I do morning care at my home. I work about 32 hours a week. I have two other kids that are on 5 different teams. To say the least I am up at 5am and going strong until 8-9 at night.
When do I need to say enough is enough? It's hard to stop everything that I do however I don't want to go in labor early. My doctors response was "it's up to me". 
Just wondering if anyone else has been in these shoes and kept on going strong until the end? Or should I slow down?

Answer

Wow you are amazing! I’m 20+3 and last Saturday I was going going from 9am until 8pm and I immediately passed out as soon as I got home. The next day I was pretty tired, I just felt like I over did it on Saturday. But I feel I am a relatively “lazy” person as is so I just wasn’t used to it especially being 20 weeks pregnant with twins. I try to remember to rest a bunch tho if I am doing too much and I don’t feel guilty at all.

Wondering the same... I feel like I should but am afraid if I do I will lose all stamina lol. I still work, take care of my kiddo, do all the cleaning, shopping etc. I’m 28 weeks. 🤷‍♀️ I figure my body will tell me.

Answer

I’m on the keep going strong until you feel like you can’t. I work 45-50 hours a week, have a 16 month old and I’m 16 weeks pregnant with twins. Including this past week I’m traveling somewhere every week for the next five weeks. My feeling is I’m going to keep going and living life just like I would be until I feel like I physically or emotionally shouldn’t/can’t. 
I love being busy, keeps me sane. 
If you don’t feel like you have to slow down, don’t worry about it. Your mental health is important too! As long as your doc says it’s okay, then don’t feel guilty.
