21w1d belly pic

Here's a belly pic from yesterday at 21w1d. I hardly look pregnant, let alone pregnant with twins. I asked the OB at my 20 week appointment and he's not concerned. He said the babies are on target and I've gained 12 pounds by 20 weeks which was a small miracle since I was so sick until 16 weeks. I'm fairly small pre-pregnancy: size 6 pants and about 120 pounds. This is my first pregnancy. Did anyone else look like this at 21 weeks?

ETA: Please ignore all the extra junk in the picture. I took it in the spare bedroom and it has become a dumping ground since I was put on bedrest. :blush:

 

no! you look great!!!

 

aww sweet belly!

 

what a sweet bump!

With my first pregnancy, it was a while before I really started showing. With this pregnancy, I really popped between 20 and 24 weeks. So you may just have that happen soon. Trust me, in the end you'll be wishing to be small again LOL

Sounds like you are doing great - don't worry!

 

WOW you look great… I’m a pre pregger size 4-6 (125) and now at 10 weeks I’m up to 139 already <_< but I hit 200 with my son and lost it quick (I was in my 6's at my 2 week check up after his birth)… so I’m not gonna stress over it. But the sad part is I’m showing about as much as you (but this is my second… I’m sure you pop out sonner the second go round).
With my son I didnt even show until 7 m (just looked chunky). so I wouldnt stress if the babys are on target. all of a sudden you will pop out. i would even guess a 7m singelton is the same as 20w twin... maybe????

 

Very cute!! Everyone carries differently. Is this your first pregnancy? It took me forever to look preggo the first time around.

 

Hi Beth,

I was pretty small too early on -- popped at about 20-21 weeks!

Here's me at 19 weeks http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc149/e...1920weeks_d.jpg and then at 21 weeks for comparison http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc149/e...la/21_weeks.jpg

I think you look adorable -- and I'd bet good money that you'll pop in the next few weeks and will definitely look preggo!

 

It took me a longer time to really pop with my 1st pregnancy too. You look great! And your room is fine! I have 2 sons and my whole house seems to be turned upside down today!! Of course, this probably means that I will get company. That's how it always happens for me!

 

Wow! You look amazing! I had a lot of junk there already so I was a bit bigger! :winking0009:

 

no that is not small at all! you are the perfect size! My prepreg size was 4-5 in pants and i was 134lbs. when i became pregnant i dropped to 115lbs during the first 3 months. now i am in week 37 and i am 160 lbs. i lost weigh this week for the first time since then i lost lost 3 lbs. i was upset about it when i found out but as lonf as the babies are healthy then im fine! i just lost my appetite again. but u say ur gaining and that is great because i lost as much weight as u gained at that time. just weight till ur 7 months ur gonna wish u could have stayed that size!

 

You look great!! As long as the babies are growing and the doctor's not worried, then don't worry... and like others have posted- everyone carries differently and if this is your first pregnancy, your uterus won't stretch as quickly as someone who's been pg before! You look wonderful, don't worry- you will pop!! Good luck!

 

I wish I looked that small at 21 weeks! All I can tell you is that since this is your first pregnancy you are less likely to get big as soon. Also, from the picture you look tall which can make you look a little smaller. If you are tall or above average height you will be glad later... more room for them to move. Anyway, if your doctor is not concerned and your babies are growing on target don't worry about looking smaller! You look great!

 

Hi, I just joined this forum and I have to say your belly size seems to be the same size as mine. I am currently 24 and a half weeks so don't panic the dr has assured me that my babies are both fine. I was going to show you a pic of my belly but at the current moment cannot figure out how to do so lol.

I was 43 kilos at the start of my pregnancy and as of 3 days ago I was 53.55 kilos. I only know kilos so my apologies to anyone who has no idea what I am talking about.

As long as the dr says your babies are fine there is no need to be worried and don't let people tell you that there is anything wrong with you and that you have to put on excess amount of weight because as long as the babies are healthy and growing there is no need. You are just putting on baby weight and that is all you need to do.

 

This is my second pregnancy. I'm 15 weeks with large healthy twins on the inside, but you can bairly tell I'm prego from the outside. I have been worried too, I only gained 2 pounds. It sounds like we are the same size. Still wearing regular size 6 low rise jeans. Mothers of twins keep telling me Ill grow so fast later, and maybe we'll be lucky and avoid the stretch marks. Since you are a few weeks ahead of me I will keep watchig you to see what happens.

 

I think you look great!! Women who are tall or long-torsoed tend to not show so much early on--in single pregnancies too! Also, the position of the babies makes a difference--my belly will look smaller some days, until they move.

 

I think you look fine...your health and the health of the babies are what's important - not how much you gain or don't gain. At 21.6 weeks I had only gained 7 pounds. My pre-preg weight was 125, so no one suspected twins. This was my first ultrasound. I gained 37 pounds and never once "looked" like I was having more than 1 baby. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

 

I am smaller than you. I try to stick out my gut- belly to make it look like I am actually pregnant. Everyone keeps telling me to be careful what I wish for- ie a big belly.

 

Beth, you look great!
