How much bigger can I get?!

I am 33 weeks now and it feels like there is absolutely no room left for these babies to grow!

How much bigger has/did everyone get after this point?

Re: How much bigger can I get?!

  • ha!  I felt the same way but I got bigger.  I made it to 38w2d.  Just remember to drink a lot of water and rest a lot.  Listen to your body!

  • Hard to imagine here at almost 27 weeks.  I hear you!  But then I see all these 37-38 week mamas and I realize I've got a ways to go!  I'm measuring at 32 weeks for a singleton now...

  • Don't worry, you can get much bigger, and the babies will still find ways to kick you!

    I went in for my induction-turned-emergency-C-section at 37w1d and was measuring about 48 weeks 2 days earlier.

    I didn't get any stretch marks or twin skin. It's mostly genetic but I was also crazy about putting lotions and oils on my belly 2X a day.
