Feeling weirded out

SBmomma

We were not expecting to get pregnant with twins. It doesnt run in our families & I wasn't doing fertility treatments. So, needless to say we were shocked. Now I'm finally getting used to the idea. What an incredible blessing! Especially since I hate being pregnant, so so sick ugh, so it's like I'm getting a 2 for 1 deal!
But I'm a bit on the petite side which has me terrified. My belly got huge with my son. I can only imagine with 2!! I think with all this rambling I'm just looking for encouragement. Words from experienced ones & words from those currently in the same boat. Glad to have somewhere to go for support!

Congrats on your twins!

I thought I would be much larger than I am now. But at almost 31 weeks I am not much bigger than I was with my son at 34/35 weeks. 

I still have no clue what I am doing. I have gone through all the motions of prepping everything but have no plan for what to do when the twins are actually here!

I didn't get too much bigger with the twins. I went 2 weeks earlier (38 wks) than with my son, and I gained the same amount and looked about the same. But I did get bigger sooner, and from beginning to end, I FELT a whole lot worse. So for me it wasn't necessarily about size but about the level of discomfort. Which was intense. Not gonna lie.

But you will get through it! And you will learn what amazing things your body can do.

Congrats and good luck!!

I gained less with my twins than I did my son.  34 lbs with them and 45 with him.  I measured just a few weeks ahead my whole pregnancy and I had them at 36 weeks so I never measured over 40 weeks.  Good luck!

Thank you ladies! Your replies help me a lot. This is such an amazing gift & I don't want to spoil the experience due to all my worrying.

Our bodies are amazing! You may be a bit more uncomfortable than with your singleton, but you'll be able to carry these 2 no problem!

I only gained 27 pounds.  I was 145 pounds when I delivered.  Within 2 weeks, I was below my pre-pregnancy weight because I was breastfeeding.  I have zero stretch marks.

Bodies do what they want and each pregnancy is different.  Some weeks I ate healthy, some weeks I ate enough for 6 people...my eating habits never corresponded to the amount of weight I gained that week.
