T-minus 11 Days

M

We get to meet our babies in 11 days (max- scheduled c section for 37w 2d). I don’t know how I’ll get through these next 11 days - I’m beyond nauseous, hungry but everything I eat practically makes me sick, exhausted/not sleeping, horrible heartburn, and my back is in so much pain constantly. And my stomach feels massive & uterus feels stiff all the time with babies bulging from both sides. The only thing I can manage to drink/eat is ice cold blue gaterade & a bit of bland toast/crackers/cereal - even though I want to eat other things like chili, cheese, veggies and actual meals - whenever I go to eat it I feel instantly sick. I never felt this awful at the end with my Singleton (she stuck it out till 40w so I’m assuming these babes will hang in until my scheduled date). Ive lost a couple pounds which is unusual for me as well- I’ve been steadily gaining. I know some have said this happens near the end but I’ve never experienced with my first.

Anyone else feel like this?

Tips on getting through these next days! I have a toddler at home who is 19 months- I absolutely love her but am so frustrated that I cannot keep up with her or get out of the house easily with her to expose her to other things. I know I’m going stir crazy...
