Plus Size Pregnancy - Twins

5 replies

katieem92 · 02/09/2019 10:05

Hi everyone,
I just have a quick question regarding my twin pregnancy. I’m currently 15+3 and now that the first trimester is over with, I’m feeling really great even if some days all I want to do is sleep. Pre-Pregnancy I wore a size 20/22 and haven’t really changed much in size, although my jeans have become a little more snug. I was just wondering when anyone in a similar situation started to actually look pregnant? I’ve noticed that my lower stomach feels a tiny bit formers but is still mainly just like a jelly belly!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello,

I’m 13 + 3 also with Twins, I’m around size 16 and my stomach is slowly getting more round, and it’s feeling more firm.
I really think it depends on what size you normally are and also where the babies and placenta/placentas are all sitting.

And yes totally understand the same days all you want to do is sleep!

Hi, only had 1 but was about an 18. I remember with my first pregnancy I was about 17 weeks when I woke up one morning and all of a sudden looked really pregnant
With my second I was 9 weeks and everyone at work guessed before I could even get a scan in as I was so round.
So I think it's different for everyone and every baby. Congrats on your double bundle x

Thank you all so much! I’m 16+1 now so hopefully soon I will start noticing a difference 😊

Hi! I am wondering if any one has experienced something similar. I am so confused.

I went for a scan at 7 weeks 1 day due to light spotting (miscarried baby in may) they found there were two sacs one very healthy heartbeat. They almost distrageded the second sac and asked me to return in a week.

I went back yesterday to be told the heart beat from twin 1 has now gone, but the sac is still there, but the second sac has now grown but still no heartbeat. (I also still am very sick and feel very much pregnant)

They said I could still be pregnant. I have to go back next week to see if the second twin is still developing or I have lost both.

Has anyone ever experienced anything. We dont want to get our hopes up.

Thanks so much x
