I was just wondering..were you guys on the heavy side before you know you're expecting? Or normal weight..i'm not expecting twins but i fell like i am or maybe because i'm bloating and there's the 'fatty' issue on belly which makes me like 4 months preggo. I'm almost 7 wks and i'm not on the heavy side.
Just wondering..

No, I was normal. I had tons of bloating up until about 10 weeks or so. My clothes weren't fitting by 7 & 8 weeks. But, it was all bloat. Even with 2 babies in there they're so small there's no way that any bump is actually baby at 7 weeks. Drink lots of water....it often helps the bloat.

Others couldn't notice before 13th week but I had to get new pants on 6th week.

I am 10 1/2 weeks pregnant with twins, it's my first pregnancy and I am a normal weight for my height and very fit. I have just started to show in the last few days. I have a history of eating disorders which I've managed to control over the last 5 years or so but these extra inches around my belly are really getting me down. I had worried that it would be a problem and I am really scared now that my natural tendancy to starve myself will win as I'm putting on weight and obviously can't help it!!! I have been crippled with abdominal pain over the last 5 weeks and been off work because of it, so have been living in pyjamas (which hide a multitude of sins and are comfy and baggy), but today wanted to go to my mother-in-laws for lunch, just to leave the house really. While trying to find something to wear, I got really upset because my tummy is much bigger than it was and all my clothes look terrible! I wish I could be one of those ladies that are really proud of their bump, but I know it's going to make me more and more miserable...I don't know what to do, and my rational mind doesn't seem to be working...damn hormones!!!

Alix, I STRONGLY urge you to go through this pregnancy with the help of a therapist!!!! She or he can help you stay in a healthy frame of mind about it all, because you NEED TO FEED YOUR BABIES. I feel deeply for you xoxoxo and I know you want to take good care of your little ones. If past food/weight demons are already starting to nag at you, you are going to need help. You can not restrict what you eat for even one day!

It's hard for most of us, being told we will gain 40 or even 50 lbs, but it's a whole different issue for you.

Now, its all about the babies. The extra food and extra weight is for THEM. Please get help so that you see that in a positive way. Write me any time you need to talk.

Eat LOTS of healthy foods and OFTEN!!!!!! xoxoxo
