19wks - how big are you and feeling the babies move

Hi Everyone!

So I'm a first time mom to be (YIPPE!) :banana:
And I have a question for y'all. I'm 5'3 and was about 150 pre-preggers (I normally wear a size 8 clothes). I am now 19 weeks and 160 lbs (due date is November 15th). I've been getting TONS of comments that unless they knew I was pregnant they can't tell. I'm no longer in my regular pants and I am not fitting into pregnancy clothes all that comfortably yet (god bless Bella Bands). Did any of you have the same problem? I have a tiny bump (if I wear a snug t-shirt it looks like I have a pot belly) and it makes me wonder am I moving at the right pace, are the babies the right size? My last appointment a week ago my doctor didn't say anything about my size except I'm on target for weight gain... and she said everything looked good. I didn't ask then because it didn't seem like a question, but now over the last week I've gotten that statement tons of times. Any opinions?

Also, second question I've started feeling one of the babies move on my right side especially when I'm in the car. The question is...is it the same baby if so I don't think I've felt the second one yet.. .is this also common? THANKS EVERYONE!

 

I was pretty tiny (5'8 120lbs) with my first. But, with all of my pregnancies, I practically exploded around 21 weeks. Every woman is different, so you may not show for a little while longer...it's normal, though.

Baby B moves a lot more than Baby A, but when I see them on the u/s, usually A is kicking/punching B. Again, totally normal, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

 

I gained more weight this pregnancy then my other two. However, everyone that hears I am having twins is shocked. I think everyone gains weight differently and if your Dr. is happy and not concerned, I dont think you should be. Feel Good.

 

I gained a little at a time steadily up til about 20 weeks and then I exploded!!! I started my pregancy at 5'2 and 115lb. At 26 weeks I weigh about 145!!!!! But at 20 weeks I was only at 125-130ish. Just keep in mind that everyone grows differently! Whats important is that you are gaining enough to make those babies healthy!
Good luck!

Same thing here! I tell everyone that they are fighting already. Baby A hits Baby B then Baby B hits me!

 

I am currently 22 weeks and am still wearing normal pants. I love the Bella Bands as it has helped me wear my jeans up until this point. Althougth I haven't looked pregnant, I feel that I have recently popped. I no longer feel all too comfortable wearing the bella band with my jeans. I will buckle down and buy maternity clothes this weekend. My last appointment showed that I only gained 7 lbs but my doctor said that the real weight gain can begin after 20 weeks, so be prepared.

 

i'll be 21 weeks tomorrow... i started feeling baby A tickling my side at about 19 weeks, now i feel him/her all the time, and i feel baby B every once in a while. i was told that it depends on where they are sitting.
and most people are surprised at how big i am for being 5 months until they hear i'm having twins, and some say i'm not very big for being pregnant with twins, but THOSE people are not experts so i just wave them off with my hand.
