Discomforts When Carrying Twins

How Can You Get Relief When Carrying Twins?

0 Comments

Janet Gregory of Pine Township, Pa., is just glad she never was a stomach sleeper. Late in her pregnancy with her twin boys, Reed and Robert, she was constantly trying to find a comfortable position, even on her side.

Discomfort Times Two-How Can You Get Relief When Carrying Twins?"Pillows, pillows and more pillows, that was my secret," Gregory says. "I had one of those full body pillows that I would put along my back to kind of lean against, and then five or six very soft regular-sized pillows that I would use to tuck in wherever I felt I needed support. That would help me sleep comfortably for an hour or two, until I got uncomfortable in that position; then I'd wake up and rearrange everything."

Studies show a strong connection between fatigue and preterm labor.

Gregory didn't let her husband off the hook, either, saying that she would wake him up to help with the rearrangement just so he didn't "miss out on the fun of a multiple pregnancy."

Double Discomfort
After about the sixth month, very few pregnancies are without some kind of discomfort associated with a growing abdomen. Double that for a twin pregnancy and it can result in an uncomfortable few months.
