I know everyone is different and every multiples pregnancy is different but I'm curious...How tall are you?

People have said "your height will help you"...I am almost 5' 10".

    I'm 5'8", and I think it really helped.  I didn't go full term, but they had  room to stretch out toward the end.

    5'3". I posted new belly pics on FB yesterday and had a friend comment that I looked great but that she wondered how I didn't topple over. Wink lol I told her that my rear end acted as a counter balance.

    I agree that height might help you, but I am only 5'1" and I carried to 37w4d and they both had enough room during the last week to flip flop daily (NOT fun for me).  So you never never know.

    5'0. Height doesn't necessarily help.  I had a good twin pregnancy and I am short.  Never had any issues, restrictions or bedrest.

    I am 5'10 and I totally agree that height helped me out!  Most people would comment that I looked like I was carrying 1 baby and I gained over 40lbs!  I carried my girls to 38w1day and actually had to end up being enduced.  I also was able to avoid a C-section.

    I'm 5'8 and my doctor says that all the time, that the height is helping with the babies and weight being evenly distributed.

    5'2". I think height can help but also having a long torso might be equally important. I would think it would help you to look less big as the babies have more room up and down versus growing outward but whether or not it has a lot to do with how long you carry I am skeptical.

    I'm 5'9".  More than one doctor told me I was fortunate to be tall and I really think it helped..  I was able to make it to 34w4d with my triplets and measured over 50 weeks.

    5'11". The height didn't help me in that I had PTL issues and was on bedrest for 15 weeks. But I do think it contributed to me not being miserably uncomfortable until just before I delivered (35w1d)

    ETA: LIke a p.p. I also think it contributed to me looking smaller than I felt. I was constantly told I didn't look "big enough." It annoyed me at the time b/c I was obsessed with gaining the appropriate amount of weight, but hey.

    I'm 5'5, but have a very short torso.  I did look like I was going to tip over.

    I'm 6'0" -  I think the extra height helped me look smaller and be slightly more comfortable at the end (though I was certainly uncomfortable at times - especially in the summer!).

    I'm 5'10" - I think the biggest advantage to being tall (or having a long torso) is having more space for the babies up and down rather than out.  People keep telling me how good I look even though I'm measuring about 43 weeks pregnant.

    Edited for spelling

    5'8", and like PPs said- I don't think being shorter means it's going to be hard/you won't go as long, but I do think my longer torso is helping a lot at the end.

    5'.  If not for pre-e, I could have carried longer and was never terribly uncomfortable.

    I did, however, get lots of comments.  My favorite was, "The fact that you're still standing defies physics."  It was from a co-worker (that I liked) who always said odd/funny things, so it didn't bother me.
