That Im NOT big enough. Many peopl ehave said to me that I look GREAT and not showing as much for twins,a nd it scares meChat Icon

I went to my dr. a week and a half ago, and heard the heartbeat and said I was looking good and NOT getting too big.

I went to jewelry party yesterday and she is due the day before me with a singleton and looked bigger than me.
But i feel so fat.
Am I overreacting??

You are totally overreacting!!!!! When I was carrying NOBODY could believe I had 2 in there. Don't worry about that! I would always worry until I got to the Doctors and heard both heartbeats. But - I stressed over nothing! My babies were very compact in there - and in the end they were both healthy weights as well. I gained more carrying one baby than I did the twins. Chat Icon

I just found out a girl at work is about 20 weeks pregnant with twins....and I didn't know AT ALL! Everyone's different, and if you're dr. says you're ok, I'm sure you're fine Chat Icon

I feel the same way Diane. At 20 weeks I thought people woould be able to tell I was pregnant! This morning I saw my hairdresser and she said she was so disappointed I have no belly. She thought Somwthing terrible had happened again.

Don't worry you will pop. You might not get huge/ then again you might. Everyone carries different. As long as they are healthy that is all that matters!Chat Icon

Consider yourself blessed. Good for you. I just wanted to add that if your friend is having her second, she would definitley show earlier. Some people just pop sooner, nothing wrong with that!
