 I developed back pain around the same time (and have a
 similar awful commute). It mostly disappeared by third
 trimester - thanks to yoga I think! I attended Jane's
 classes at yoga tree and Marissa's Sat class at yoga
 garden. Other than that, work at home days were helpful
 as well as stretching, brief walks, and changing
 positions often. As for a pillow, I loved my Snoogle

 http://www.amazon.com/Leachco-Snoogle-Total-Pillow-White/dp/B0000635WI(But
 found I needed to wedge other pillows around it by the
 end). Prenatal massage was also helpful - Piece of
 Peace in Noe Valley specializes in prenatal. And lots
 of late night back rubs from my husband!

 Hi Solen! My twins are now 13 months and I was on
 modified bed rest from week 21 until delivery at week
 35. My job typically requires a lot of travel and
 stress, deadlines, sales goals, etc. I really had to
 peel back and change the way I worked. I stopped all
 travel and when being on tr computer all day hurt my
 wrists, hands and arms (the awkward position of
 emailing while laying in bed only worked for me for
 short stints) I just started doing everything by phone.
 I think my relationships with my team and colleagues
 and customers really improved. I bought the
 Plantronics Blacktop 500 headset for my iPhone. It has
 amazing clarity and sounds better than iPhone on its
 own. I digress though. Weekly visits to chiropractor
 Darci Kendrick at More Mojo were instrumental. She can
 work on your wrists, back, sciatica, basically anything
 that ails you. For me it was different every week. 
 My good friend was also pregnant at same time and we
 both saw her and loved her. For body pillows I
 experimented with many. If I had to do it over again I
 would try to bother from other moms until I found the
 one I liked. I spent too much money on pillows and
 just ended up donating them after 2 or 3,nights. As I
 got huge the Comfort U by Moonlight Slumber was the
 only one that worked. The Boppy body pillow was a
 bust.

 Hit send too soon. Also "borrow" not "bother". Geez.
 :-)Lastly there is a book that has mixed reviews from
 twin moms called "when you are expecting twins,
 triplets, or quads" by Barbara Luke. Some of the
 nutrition recommendations didn't resonate with me but
 the parts about seriously slowing down did. I realize
 everyone's situation is different but if you can at all
 limit that commute or try part time work, or somehow
 dial it back Ina a way that works for you and your
 employer I would go for it. Are you a SF Parents of
 Multiples member?Congrats on your twins!! They are so
 much fun!

 Thank you so much for the recommendations and for the
 solidarity, everybody! I did purchase the Leachco
 Snoogle body pillow and I love it! It really changed
 the way I sleep. Yoga, changing positions, working from
 home all help, I agree. Thankfully, since I'm a college
 instructor on the semester calendar, I only have 4 more
 weeks of commuting, then I'll be mostly home. I have
 yet to try massages and possibly a chiropractor. Thanks
 for that advice! I also just purchased the It's You
 Babe Prenatal Cradle too and I'm seeing many benefits
 of it. Somehow, it's improving my new twin momma
 posture :)
