Holy tummy growth!

I went in for my a check up this morning, and although I'm 18 weeks, the doctor measured me at 26!  I know it's totally different for multiples, but I guess it explains why everyone is noticing my ever expanding belly.

And we found out we're having girls!  The doctor thinks they are fraternal, but he's not 100% sure.  I thought because they have separate sacs and placentas that they couldn't be identical, but he said it's still a possibility.  I guess we'll see what they look like when they get here this summer Smile

    Congratulations on the little girls!

    I am just over 30 weeks with b/g twins and one of my friends is 3 weeks ahead of me with her little girl and my tummy is always bigger than hers.

    I'm measuring 37. It got me really down for awhile thinking of "how huge" i was going to get and blah blah blah. But now all I think about is that every day my stomach gets bigger, it only means my babies are getting bigger, too. So it's a little reassuring :)

    Congratulations! Girls are so much fun.

     I measured  8 weeks ahead for the majority of my pregnancy.  Just wait until you are 32 weeks and you tell a stranger your not due for another two months! It is kind of fun!

    Yes, it is funny, I have been getting the, "You're going to pop soon" comments from total strangers lately.  They look shocked when I tell them I am due in May.  Congrats on your little girls :):)

    Lol, we do grow a lot faster!  I measured 40 weeks at 30 weeks :)

    Yay congrats on your 2 girls!  I was shocked to learn that my 2 boys could be indentical and we won't know for sure until they're born.

    I always measured 7-8 weeks ahead once I hit 16w.

    Congratulations! :) And yeah, I was measuring about 8 weeks ahead by the halfway point. Crazy, isn't it?
