According to my Rabbi (and doctor’s) instructions, I did not totally fast either. It was actually kind of traumatic for me to eat, because it’s been ingrained in me for so long how wrong it is, but ultimately I had to do what was best for my babies. So- as per my rabbi’s instructions- I was allowed a shot glass full of apple juice every 4 minutes and a shot glass full of food every 9 minutes- because these amounts weren’t considered really “eating”. I ended up doing this for an hour or so in the morning, then I went to synagogue till almost 3:00, then had a little more to eat and drink and then went back to synagogue till the end of the fast. Even just having that bit of food and drink in me made all the difference and I felt OK- but then again I always was a pretty decent faster.

All in all I’m just relieved to have made it past the day. I really hope your day was not so bad either!

I know they were just being nice but, really, if something wrong would I be at work??? That’s one thing I definitely do not miss about being pregnant!
Yep, things are going to get tough but let me just say that it was never as bad as I thought it would be (but then again I did miss out on the last 5 weeks I should have been pregnant). My only issue was swelling and getting worn out so fast. Just take it easy…that is the best advice I can give you because I really feel like I overdid it and that is why my girls came as early as they did. I never took time to take a nap, I did things around the house that I always do and I just pushed myself too hard. Rest, rest, rest. I cannot say it enough!

I hate to kick you while your down…but seriously…it’s gonna get worse :)
Since I had a singleton pregnancy I can compare. When everyone talks about the second trimester being so great. I have to say…there was no GREAT. I just went from kinda bad, to REALLY bad…from kinda of big, to OMG I CANNOT GET ANY BIGGER ! :)

bread and water. I would like to see this….oh, and by that I mean…please don’t try this. You will pass out girl. Those babies, wait…you can’t live on bread and water alone. You will go in to low blood sugar shock…unless that bread is filled a variety of meats and cheeses…maybe some lettuce, pickles and tomatos.
Oh and chips. I LOVE CHIPS on my sandwiches.

Hope you feel better soon.
