I'm 13w and felt that way the other day, I also have delivered large babies in the past, not twins although I was big enough, everything gets stretched and swollen. I also was constipated, clearing that made a BIG difference! That would be the thing I would be careful about, getting enough fruit and keeping hydrated to avoid constipation because it gets worse as pregnancy progresses, more so with twins and large babies and can make a big difference in your comfort level. It's the laws of physics! You may be getting BH contractions, check the archives there is a lot about them and how to distinguish them from preterm labor, of course, twins makes preterm labor a greater risk. Get enough rest and put your legs up, lay on your left side, this may help. Check with your doctor if you are worried to determine what represents abnormal symptoms and what to do. Best Wishes,

-- Marie

I am nearly 17 weeks pregnant with twins and have been experiencing lower abdominal pains mostly after standing or sitting for a while. My Ob. is not very concerned. He says it is common with twins. Could this be a sign of preterm labor?

Also recently I noticed that I am having a some vaginal pressure as well especially while urinating. Could this is a UTI? I don't have any excess discharge. My appointment with my Ob. is 9 days away. Should I meet him sooner?

Thanks, Benny
