  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.

  No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college.  Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole.  IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age.  On to IVF.  Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11.  Froze due to overstimulation.  

  FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN.   FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).  

  Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5".
  FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer.  Let's try, despite 10 still frozen.

  @sjhartline You will.  You'll have to upgrade your maternity wardrobe, though, to two more sizes up.  LOL

  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.
