A guest writes in the message forum: Hello everyone. I’m currently 32 weeks (pregnant) with “identical twins” and am getting to the point where I cant even sleep at night and walk around all night due to the aches in my tummy. I already found it uncomfortable enough sitting down now I cant sleep. I feel great in the bath and shower but obviously I can’t sleep there. Anyone had trouble like this? What did you do?

The last weeks of a twin pregnancy can be an uncomfortable time. As the babies grow larger, they crowd their mother’s internal organs. Increased girth makes it difficult to find a comfortable position to rest. Anxiety only compounds the problem: worries about preterm labor, other medical complications, or coping with multiples leaves a mother’s mind wracked with worry. At the same time, it’s important for her to get the rest she needs, so that her body can continue the important work of nurturing the babies.

Stop by the message forum and share your advice and experience with the waning weeks of twin pregnancy. How did you cope? Do you have any tips or suggestions to make things more restful?
