Twin Mommies: WHen did you start showing?

Post by waitingforMia »

I was wondering when you girls started showing (I mean so others could tell). I have a feeling I got twins in there and will have some job interviews in April, so I was just curious.

Thanks! And Congrats!

First off - congrats!!!

When I was pregnant with my twins it was around 10 weeks that I looked like something was happening but by 15 weeks I looked huge! Everyone is defferent though, my sister is pregnant with twins and doesn't look pregnant at all, in fact she looks thinner from all the throwing up!

Thanks Jes. I am tall so i think I might not show as much. I guess I will have to be creative with the outfit :wink:

Sorry about your losses - I hope this next IVF is the one that does it for you!

Hey Mia... Here's to TWINS!!! and hoping for you...

I ditto EXACTLY what Jes said - I was showing at 10 but people figured it out between 14 and 15... Those who don't show early are usually those with severe nausea/vomiting (even hyperemesis where they lose weight) or those who have never had a baby before and their uterus is deep inside the pelvic cavity - then it takes a while for the uterus to tip outward...I hope your job interview goes well...

Congrats on your pregnancy!!!

Jes - I wish you many blessings toward your look forward to your fresh cycle next month. You have been through enough...

Blessings,

Hiya,

I am 17 weeks pregnant with twins and people still say they can't tell!! I am also very tall though. I have really only began to have a big belly last week at 16 weeks and it seemed to grow o/night. My pants and jeans haven't been able to be done up from around week 14 though.

Hi Mia, I am 18 weeks and no one who does not know has realised i am pregnant yet, although it won't be much longer. I do have a definate bump but having a few extra pounds on anyway makes it less obvious, and being winter i am more wrapped up.

Hi there and CONGRATS on twins!!! It's the best blessing ever!!!

I was really lucky and could wear all my normal clothes until about 5 months along. I atually never bought a single maternity item just wore items with stretch in them. I am also only 5'2" but my body did great w/ twins and I hardlt gained any weight. Everyone is so different and our bodies respond so differently that it's hard to say what will happen.

Best of luck to you and I am so thrilled you are having two!Come chat on the Double Trouble thread for sure.

Take care~

Thanks so much everyone for replying.

kholton: I will find out for sure on Monday with the u/s. But I just feel so sure both embies took! I might be on that thread on Monday :wink:

So it sounds like I will most likely be fine esp since this is my first pregnancy.

I guess I should stop looking at myself every morning waiting for the bump to appear! :)

I started to show at 14 weeks, but could hide it with loose clothes until about 20 weeks.

I hope you will be joining us on the Double Trouble thread!

Hi

I think I started showing at around 10 weeks if I remember rightly! But right up until the last few weeks (I gave birth at 34 weeks) my bump stayed fairly nice and neat. Then all of a sudden it just all piled on!!!

You never can tell tho ... each person is different.

Hope its all going well for all you mummies and mummies-to-be out there!!!
