My doctor said we have reached the “hope phase” (35 weeks)

This post may sound a negative though I’m trying not to be. Sunday we hit 35 weeks but I was sick in bed until last night with a severe migraine. I’ve been up since 4:15am in pain and around 6:30 was able to get dressed and fake a smile before heading to the MFM where we spent two hours. The babies are so squished they are on top of it each other. It took forever to monitor their heartbeats today because there’s just no more room. I felt like I never coming off those machines. Other than that they are doing great, I wish I could say the same for me. I have reached the point that my Head OB calls the HOPE phase. Hope I make it to the next week so their lungs will be stronger, though my body is physically giving out. They said at this point, every day when I wake up all I can do is HOPE. I’m trying to stay as positive as possible but I feel like I’m barely hanging on. It’s been a lot on my husband son (11yo) to see me like this but they are so amazing. I’m in too much pain to walk and even the sonogram wand was hurting me even though she was not pushing hard. My skin hurts to the touch. I just had to go get a brace to reduce the swelling in my left wrist so that maybe I can use that hand again. I usually have a really high tolerance for pain so it worries my family and my doctor to see me in this much pain. I know this is not like my previous Happy go lucky, yay we are almost there posts and I don’t want to scare those moms who are still early on with their twin journey. Every pregnancy is different. I’m scheduled for 3 weeks from today but we shall see. Until then, as each day passes I hope they grow stronger so that when they are finally here we can all leave together I just don’t know if I can make it 3 whole weeks.
