Need peace of mind.

When did you (moms of twins) start showing or did you have cramps or growing pains everyday? Where there days when you felt fine? I have some m/s but I usually only throw up like once ..l.  I am anxiously awaiting my Doppler arrival. Sometimes I wake up and in my belly I don't feel pregnant I have lost weight since the start of the pregnacy but I was just curious when you started showing. I am a heavier set so I can't tell. As you can tell I'm freaking wee bit. Thank you so much for any input it always helps.

I've only thrown up twice (like around 8 weeks and 11 weeks) and I've had no nausea whatsoever.... I didn't feel pregnant at all until I felt them move around 17 weeks! Although I'm a nurse and would secretly doppler myself every chance I got at work and that did settle me down. Waiting for an appt would be torture!! hang in there, girlie!

I didn't start showing until about 11 weeks. I haven't really felt much m/s, just food aversions and I get cramps a couple times a week, sometimes less. I wouldn't worry about the lack of symptoms or not feeling pregnant, everyone experiences pregnancy differently.

I NEVER had morning sickness.  I was freaked out every single day until I could hear them on the doppler. I listened to them every single day I was pregnant. I am a little heavy as well and I started really showing around 14 or 15 weeks. Hang in there.  You'll be feeling pregnant very soon.

Try not to read too much into symptoms; they can vary so much from person to person and from day to day. I had m/s from 4w-12ish w but never threw up once the whole pregnancy. I didn't start to show or even notice any bloating or anything till closer to 12w. Good luck!

I did not throw up but had ms till around 16 weeks and it was not only in the morning.I think I started really showing around 15 weeks.I am short and my stomach did not have where to go but out.

There were days I felt fine and not PG , but there were a lot of days that I felt cramping and growing pains.

I had growing pains from what seemed like 10-18 weeks and it's since subsided. I had nausea from 8-12 weeks but never threw up. I got a doppler around 14 weeks and I have used it 1-4 times a day since. Best. Investment. Ever. I started actually showing around 14 weeks with a lot of bloat before that that I couldn't consider actually "showing".

Please don't freak out. I admit that I do it from time to time and I sure worry a lot but it's not justifiable other than being a hormonal pregnant woman. After I got passed whether or not they still had heartbeats, I worried about pushing them out while constipated (which is ridiculous b/c I have a cerclage) and now I'm worried about squishing one of them when I'm sleeping. It doesn't end so I hope you can find a way to rationalize with yourself!

There wasn't a bit of different in how I felt between my singleton and twin pregnancies until about 25 weeks.  With the twins I did feel a bit nauseated between 12-14 weeks but, if I drank a small cup of fat free milk, that's all it took for me.  I felt totally fine.

I felt movement with both pregnancies around 22 weeks.

Hey there...it is hard not to stress but try not to!

I was one of the lucky ones who not only never threw up but never had a single bout of nausea... I am petite (5'0) and in the normal weight range & my pants got tight around maybe 11 weeks and in relatively fitted clothes it was pretty obvious at 13 weeks though if I had wanted to still hide it at that point I could have tried though I'm sure ppl would have guessed.

GL!

I've had minimal nausea, but it tends to be bad when i cough.  I started to show around 8-9 weeks, haven't gained any weight.  I called my doctor 2 weeks ago because of lower stomach pain, but it's thought to be growing pains.

I threw up five times between weeks 12 and 14, and that was all the vomitting I had this pregnancy. I had hip and ligament pain in weeks 13 an 14. I'm currently feeling alright the last few days.

I was overweight when I was pregnant and I think I started showing around 16 weeks.  I didn't gain weight until around 20 weeks.  I also didn't feel movement until about 24 weeks.  I had a lot of m/s in the first trimester, but it varied from day to day.  It's tough not to worry all day, every day, but hang in there!

I had morning sickness till about week 14- didn't throw up too much, but was dry heaving most mornings and felt sick to my stomach a good chunk of the day. I think I started showing around week 11 or 12 (although I was convinced I was showing sooner at the time, I look back at pictures of me at week 8 or 9 now and laugh because I was the only one 'aware' that I was showing).

I started wearing a bella band for bloat around 8/9 weeks and I popped around 10/11 weeks and was in maternity pants by 12/13 weeks.

What morning sickness? I was one of the lucky ones who only had a few days here and there of nausea/queasiness. I never came close to throwing up. It caused a lot of concern for me as well early on because I assumed with twins I should be violently ill but some women, even with twins, just don't get it. 

ETA: I felt like my period was going to start most of my 1st trimester and even had a few bouts of period-like cramps in 2nd tri. The cramping was my biggest PG symptom.

Never had ms or threw up, never showed the first tri...and showed at 16-17w.  I was afraid that I miscarried.  Especially when all the other moms were complaining that their jeans were too tight at 6w and were in mat pants at 9w.
