I feel like I started showing a little bit by week 11 or 12, but it wasn't very noticeable to others. By week 13 I was in maternity clothes and now I have an obvious bump.View Thread




The only other thing I can think of is could it be sciatic pain? I had that with my 1st early in the 2nd tri because I think my body was adjusting to the extra weight I was carrying. It was this awful shooting pain in my thigh, but I seem to recall it was in the back, like from my butt down my leg. I'm not sure if you would feel this in the front.
Let us know what your doc says. It can be disconcerting to have a pain that you're not used to.View Thread

Still a little freaked out about having twins - my husband and I were planning to stop at two kids, so we're trying to get used to the idea of three. We don't have any other sets of twins in either family ever and didn't use any fertility assistance so we never considered in a million years this would happen. I'm starting to get a little excited about it, though, and am hoping for a boy and a girl. I'm looking forward to my next doc visit to make sure everything and everyone is still doing well. I wish I could have an ultrasound each time just to get visual confirmation. When they just do a heartbeat check, how are they sure that there's two and not just hearing the same one twice?
Anyway, I had a healthy pregnancy with my first and hope this one continues that way. I am so nervous about any complications or the possibility of a c-section. Also, even though I've been so sick I've been eating a lot (very hungry and helps curb nausea). I think I've already gained a few pounds and I really want to keep that under control. How has your weight gain been so far?View Thread

Easton, I am hoping the m/s will end right around 12 weeks, but I remember that with my 1st it didn't really fade until about 14 weeks. I think this time it peaked around 8 - 9 weeks, so hopefully I am on the tail end of it.
I was also pretty big with my 1st - I gained 40 lbs (and unfortunately still have a few extra hanging on), but my daughter was only 7 lbs 14 oz. That is a perfect weight, but I remember how small she seemed. If the twins are only around 5 lbs each they will seem so tiny! I was hoping to not gain very much weight this time, but now that it's twins I'm just concerned with making sure they get enough nutrition to grow and be healthy. Based on how my 1st went, I'm guessing I will be huge this time!
I hope everyone continues to feel good and be healthy! Tianga, I hope you have some luck with TTC!View Thread
