Hey ladies. Hope you can help.

I am almost 30wks preggo with twins, and I have stopped worrying about my weak cervix, and am now paranoid about preterm labour

My bump is huge - it looks comparable to you ladies at around 35wks judging by your pics. The babies are weighing approx 3Ibs 6 and 4Ibs already, and I am concerned.

Everyone I see says I am huge, and bigger than they were at full-term. I know that I am way bigger than I was with my 9Ib son at full-term, and all the weight is concentrated purely on my bump up front.

My skin around my navel is hurting, and I have bruises appearing around that area. I am scared that this all means I am more likely to go into early labour - i.e. the next few weeks

Is it possible to be this big and still go to 35plus weeks? I understood that twins can trigger preterm labour because body translates added uterine size as a cue for labour.

Have I still got plenty of room to stretch? I know that the growth rate of twins does slow after 30wks, but even so I feel really anxious that I can go no further.

I cannot walk around any more without my bump belt, and even with it can only manage 10mins on my feet. Is this normal? 28wk bump pic enclosed below x

Wow, 3 and 4lb is great for 30 weeks hun!
I dont really know much because I only got to 29 weeks! Preterm labour is scary and worrying but you should take each day as they come

I agree with Laura, you've done great so far...making it to 30 wks is awesome and they have a great chance to do wonderfully. I think the more you rest the more likely you are to go a little further each day. Good luck!!!

I don't think you are too big hun. My boys were 3lbs 8 and 3lbs 14 when they were born at 31 weeks, so yours are about the same! Obviously the extra weight and pressure on your cervix can make you more prone to pre term labour, but many twin mummies make it to term and I know one who had to be induced and had two 6lb+ babies!

Just try not to worry and rest as much as you can x
