Ugh, i feel like my belly's going to burst open

Anyone else?

And does this feeling get worse as the babies grow, or does it just happen when they go through growth spurts? (And/or when you eat too much or get bloated. )

It definitely went through phases for me, and I actually remember a particularly rough growth spurt right around 24 weeks. Then you'll stretch out and feel okay again!

Early on it was only when they were having a growth spurt... but I hate to tell you that eventually it's kind of an all the time sort of thing, they just run out of room!  I ended up with constant feet-in-the-ribs plus bursting feeling for the last few weeks.  Don't worry though... it's worth it

I feel the same way and posted about this like 1 week ago. Since we are both about 24 weeks along - I am hoping it is just a growth spurt and will level off.
