Try an Epsom salts bath at home everyday. Not hot water but comfortable and warm. It helps relax a bit. Prenatal massages/chiropractic massages. You can give her some massages before bedtime to help relax too.. Apart from that I myself am struggling (with a single) . Unsure what else can work. Some people say swimming so maybe try that if she feels okay

Yes to prenatal massage, I was going every other week in the last trimester. Also, get in the pool! Being in water up to your neck has an incredible effect on swelling
Hi! I just had my twins at 35 weeks. My discomfort around 28 was a lot to do with swelling - not sure if your wife is experiencing the same. My husband bought me some compression boots from Amazon that I could lay on the couch and wear at night that really helped my ankles and lower leg swelling.
I got my first prenatal massage around week 30 which did help more when the back pain set in.
Honestly, just listening to how she feels will help her mentally. Knowing that you’re hearing what she is going through. Twins are tough on the body and it’s exhausting.
Feel free to message me, if you’d like.
I’m a big fan of the merino wool compression socks from Comrad- they are very soft and breathable. I find some other ones are itchy or too hot. https://www.comradsocks.com/collections/knee-high-compression-socks/products/merino-wool-socks-stripes?variant=39768344002594
Prenatal massage! Meditation helped me with the mental aspect roo
To take pressure off pelvic bone, I sometimes sat on a yoga ball while working from home. It really helped me, especially going into third trimester.

How do you all budget your prenatal massages? Any tips to get them cheaper?
Some spas have membership options (mostly the chains, like hand & stone or massage envy) while those aren’t as good usually as boutique local ones, it is nice to purchase bundles or get membership discounts during pregnancy.

Nothing with insurance
Get her the “cloud slides” for during the day. Plenty of types / dupes on Amazon. She’s getting to the point where she’s putting on rapid weight gain per week (especially with twins) I found it helped reduce the aching in my feet and calves at the end of the day. Offer her pillows and foot rubs and tell her she’s doing an amazing job.
I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant with twins. Prenatal Massage
