I weighed in at 188 pounds. My blood pressure continues to be a concern and I will continue to monitor it at home. High blood pressure is very common with twins in the 3rd trimester. I started to experience swelling in the calfs and feet and was recommended to see a compression sock expert (my shoes/boots did not fit- I was wearing sandals in this -20C weather). I was fitted for a pair of (extremely) expensive thigh high socks, but my feets and legs showed immediate improvement. Apparently there can be significant future health complications if swelling is left untreated, so I am glad I went. I am not able to put the socks on myself so Kyle has been helping me (they even gave us special gloves to get the socks on- it's quite funny!). Kyle has been taking excellent care of me, the babes and the animals.
the OB told me I am handling the twins pregnancy really well.
💜💜💜
I hit 196 with Grady and 200 even with hunter! You are on your way 😉
Glad you have the fancy socks. And glad Kyle is helping out so much. Take care.
Aw…..happy you got stockings since they are obviously helping and thank goodness Kyle is such a great help in getting them on…..nice partnership ?
Thanks for the detailed updates – I gained a lot when I was pregnant with Wayne, but lost most of it pretty quicky afterwards. Glad the stockings are helping so much – kudos to Kyle for helping you so well! xo
Haha, thanks for the accolades. I might be taking on a little more around the house but Janet is responsible for growing 2 babies! I’m just doing what I can to make sure everyone is getting great nutrition and trying to help Janet keep her blood pressure down.
I’m wearing compression maternity stockings too! They are so helpful. I can appreciate the daily gloved effort of putting them on, it’s hard enough to do it yourself let alone someone else do it so good teamwork! And I also love the detailed reports, I’m pretty sure I’m learning about my own pregnancy through your blog ?
Hehe, that’s great! thanks for checking out the blog love!
Yes, though compression socks are miracle workers.
