When did you start showing with Twins?

raisingarizona2008

I am just wondering because I have had some terrible bloat that already looks like I am 10 weeks pregnant. Also did your hips start to ache a little? ?It aches if I sleep too long on one side it just started happening in the last couple of days.

?

Thanks,

Melissa ?

I was just like you, probably a little b/c of the IVF bloat but also b/c these two are my 2nd and 3rd. My stomach stuck out literally from day one and hasn't stopped. I remember asking the RE at 6 weeks if it was normal to have a belly already. He just laughed and said the standard "everyone is different, but yes, it's common with twins and after IVF...".

With my first set of twins I started to show around 16wks.  With my second set around 14-16wks.  Prior to that ( wks5-10 ) I had the worst bloat!!!  I am only 5'3, 110lbs so I think that contributed to me showing sooner than later.

 

In regards to hips aching.  ABout wk24 is when I really started to experience aches and pains in my joints.

 

HTH!

I had the worst lower back pain and pelvic pain. Not so painful I thought I was going to die but annoying pain. I have Lymes also so that contributes. I was getting the worst bloat for the past 3 weeks at night. I looked like I was 4 months pregnant! I since the past few days have not been so bloated thank god. But I am a bit fuller. I wasnt fitting in my size 4 jeans but now I can put one pair on! YAYYY.....I think everyone is so different. My doctor said that if you have harder ab muscles will show later on but who the hell knows!

I have horrible lower back pain! I think part of it is from an accident I was in last year, and the extra weight isn't helping. But, either way, it's horrible.

In regards to showing, I am just now starting to show. I still haven't had any stranger comment (unless I am holding my belly or putting my DH's hand on it), but people that know me can definitely tell.

about 10 weeks it looked like bloat, think by 12 weeks I had a baby belly. pib.

I didnt really start to notice much until I was 12 weeks or so. It didnt take long after that for things to really start growing.

I started to get noticably larger boobs with in the first few months and was getting a belly at about 2 1/2 to 3 months. I also couldn;t lay on my tummy after the 3rd month.

I was showing for sure at wk 12.  I had the bloat that went away too, and could fit into regular jeans (buttoned up!) for about 2 weeks.  That disappeared!  Now I'm almost 23 weeks and measuring at 32, so I'm pretty big.  This also means that all the aches and pains of carrying around a big belly and a couple of babies came earlier for me than for others.  I chalk it up to the fact that it's a small price to pay for 2 babies!!

I had a stranger ask me when I was due at 12 weeks.  Now at almost 4 months, it's clear as day that I'm pregnant to people who know me.  I suppose people who don't could confuse me for fat, but I'm ok with that.

I felt like I was showing at 16 weeks, I think other people really noticed around 20 weeks

I started showing when I was 2 1/2 months along.  It was a little tramatic because I wasn't ready to tell everyone yet, but once everyone found out, I totally embraced my little pot belly!   As far as the aches go, get used to them....they don't stop or get better.  My doctor told me to take Tylenol if the pain gets a little out of control.  Ask your doctor if it will work for you.

 

Good Luck!

I am 17 weeks and have not had a stranger comment.  There are some pictures in my blog (link below).  People who know me can tell if I am wearing a tight fitting shirt.  The only aches I have had were round ligament pain.
