Question for Twin parents :)

[Kazzacollie]

Hi everyone, I'm currently ten weeks three days with twins and wondering when everyone started showing? I can't fit into my pre pregnancy trousers because of the bloating, but definitely can't feel my uterus yet. This is my first pregnancy ( to get to this stage) so I don't know what to expect. I always find something to worry about x

This is my second pregnancy I'm now 21 weeks I started getting bloated from about four weeks and from 12 weeks I had to wear over the bump trousers, and im expecting one your uterus will still be behind your pelvic bone hence you can't feel it, at 21 weeks mine is just rising above my belly button good luck i hope u have a lovely pregnancy xx

Thankyou for your reply!! So until you could feel your uterus At twenty one weeks was the bump you had just bloat? Sorry if it's a stupid question!!! My tummy is popping out in the middle below my belly button but only because the underneath has pushed my tummy out a bit ( sorry lost loads of weight so my fatty bit is what is sticking out more I think because underneath is pushing it out more? ) xxx

I would say I felt firmer around the pelvic area but definatley bloated out. I have found that as my uterus has risen my belly fat was more pronounced but now it has evened out I think due to my baby bump being hard and round luckily very neat

Hi, I found that I had to wear maternity clothes straight away.. My belly bloated so much I looked Like I was 3 months at 3 weeks. Now im 17 weeks and have quite a nice bump (im expecting twins & its my first) took till 13/14 for me to actually feel the pregnancy belly under the soft belly (hope that makes sense).

Good luck

Thanks! Makes perfect sense! So its going to be a little while till I can feel on the outside that theres two little people in there :). Can I ask when you got to my stage 10 and half weeks did you find that your symptoms eased off quite a bit?? Its got me paraniod about them. I haven't had any bleeding or pains since my last scan, so its probably in my head!! xx

Hi - Congratulations on expecting twins.

I have twins (they have just turned 3) and I was struggling to fit into my normal clothes several weeks before my dating scan at 13 weeks. I don't think its unusual although every pregnancy is different.

TAMBA (Twins and Multiple Births Association) tamba.org.uk is a great source of free information for expectant parents of multiples. They have also just started a Breastfeeding Peer Support service too (of which I am proud to be a part) so if you are planning to breastfeed, getting information before you have your babies and some support after can be very beneficial.

Best of luck
