TMI - My Pregnancy With The Twins

I saw this on another Blog and I thought I would join in.

Symptoms:


Sore Boobs- Yes. Preconception since I was doing IVF through 3 months.
Darkening Areolas- Yes.  Months 1-delivery and they got darker each month

Spotting- None.

Mood Swings- Occasionally. Only because I was in pain, but for the most park I was OK!

Frequent Urination- Yes. Months 3-delivery. Every night I got up 2 times a night.

Fatigue- I was tired from the beginning through 5 months. After that I was ready to go go go, and all I heard was get your sleep now. LOL!

Morning Sickness- More like 24/7 sickness. Anything or everything I ate or drank was more than likely coming back up.
Heightened Sense of Smell- Yes. Especially Doug's Chew cup (spit cup) that sat on the end table.
Food Cravings- Shock tarts & Buffalo Wings- But this was never a good idea since I had heartburn so bad and then that usually meant it all coming back up.
Food Aversions- Not really. But I am not a picky eater anyway.
Extra Saliva- Not that I noticed.

Nasal Congestion- Not that I remember.
Bloating- Not really.

Aches and Pains- Yes, My Ribs since Lilly was jammed under them, Stretching of my ligaments, Swelling of my left foot. Back pain at the end.
Thicker/Shinier Hair- Unfortunately NO, actually it fell out more than anything.

Hunger- I was hungry more often, but couldn't eat as much during one sitting or I felt like I was going to burst. But I pigged out alot.

Nosebleeds- None.
Heartburn- 24/7- Tums didn't work but Zantac was my best friend.
Swollen Hands/Feet- My Left foot was the size of Texas. But none anywhere else.
Leg Cramps- Yes,  I woke up alot in the middle of the night with a Charlie Horses. and I had to be careful not to point my toes when I woke up.

Varicose Veins- None.

Trouble Sleeping- I woke up a lot to either pee or re-position myself.
Shortness of Breath- Yes, I usually had to use my inhaler alot. But this was mainly from Lilly sitting on my lungs under my ribs.
Braxton Hicks Contractions-None

Leaky Boobs- Yes at the very end right before delivery.
Dry, Itchy Skin- Yes, my belly. EXTREMELY!!!
Stretch Marks- Just a few on my bottom. Don't be jealous!

Weight Gain- Yes, 20 lbs. Lost to much in the beginning from being sick all the time.

Swollen Gums- No. Just bleed alot.

Linea Nigra (dark line down the middle of the stomach)- Yes. But mine was actually a light colored.

Gas- Yes, unfortunately.

Constipation- Yes, Alot but I have always been this way.
Diarrhea- Not that I remember.

Pregnancy Brain- I forgot alot.
Weird Dreams- All the time.
Overheating- Yes, occasionally.I would break out in a sweat.

Pelvic Pressure- Yes, Since Bryce's head was so low.

Things that weren't listed but I experienced:

My Ribs lifted upwards to accompany Lilly's position, and it was uncomfortable and we couldn't do nothing about it.
Restless Leg Syndrome: This was bad. Every evening during months 2.5-8 my legs would HAVE to move. I would shake or tap them up and down as I watched TV or ate dinner. Going for walks and massages would help, but as soon as I stopped the feeling of needing to move them would start up again.
