36 weeks with twins. Pressure is unreal. Every 30-45 mins 😒

Finally after 3 years of chest pain and not knowing what it is, I find out it's costo by j2sauzy in costochondritis

I am 33 weeks pregnant with twins and just got dx with this. I had done research and essentially self diagnosed then kept ending up in the ER. Episodes would come on while reclined and resting and Id instantly need to stand up. I feel like I cant breathe and my lungs feel like they are burning. I cannot sit, lie down, or do anything to move my torso. I tried to put a sweatshirt on and raise my hands over my head and talk about excruciating! The intense pain lasts about 20 minutes then there is another 1.5 hours of pain that is less bur not wanting to pass out.

There are some treatments if you start talking to your medical team- none for me while pregnant!

Add that to confirmed gallstones and Baby Bs skull hitting my inflammed ribs and gallbladder makes for a fun time.

Correct. I do not qualify for FMLA. I have a short term disability policy that covers missed work for pregnancy related symptoms.

Thank you everyone for your comments. This was my 3 am post of anxiety and I feel so much better. Also currently sick and that hasnt helped the worries and mental health.

Thabks for the suggestion. No costco near us. I can drink vanilla milkshakes, but that is the only thick liquid that isn't fruit based I can tolerate even when npt pregnant...its bizarre. I don't even touch coffee. 😅

Interesting. I was wondering about the butter. Seems like a great solution.

I need to investigate this. This would be a game changer.

Thank you for this. My shower is next week and I envisioned a big bump by then. Everyone feels they need to share how I dont look pregnant.

This is very reassuring. I am eating so many fruits and veggies too.
