    I am almost 11 weeks. Unfortunately I started the pregnancy with about 50 extra pounds (all my weight is in my belly too) This is my third pregnancy. I can't wait to start showing. I love being pregnant. I'm just so eager! lol I'm in maternity pants already because my regular jeans don't fit but my stomach doesn't look pregnant- just fat right now

    So actually here are my list of questions ;)



    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy?



    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms)



    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant)



    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly?



    How far along were you when you delivered?


    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another)




    Thank you so much!!! I know I'm new here but I've been lurking for awhile (like most people do! :p ) What a great site!! A friend of mine recommended it.

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy?

    My First



    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms)

    Around 16-17 weeks



    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant)

    People were starting to guess around 13 weeks and knew for sure I was pregnant at 15 weeks



    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly?

    16-17 weeks - when I "popped"


    How far along were you when you delivered?

    34 weeks

    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another)

    I was induced because of pre-eclampsia and TTTS

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy? This is my first

    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms) I think around 13 -14 weeks.

    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant) I worked really hard to hide it because I was in the middle of some job interviews for a different position in my company and I didn't want them to know - even though I was wearing maternity clothes, I also wore a jacket and/or dark colors. I finally told work at 20 weeks, and it was pretty obvious by then.

    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly? hmm, maybe around 14 weeks?

    How far along were you when you delivered? haven't yet.

    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another) hoping to go into labor - I don't want a c-section.


    Congrats on your pregnancy!

    I am 14 weeks and 3 days. Still in my regular jeans and tops. I have a little belly, but I've only gained about 5 pounds, and my jeans go below my belly, so they are fine. I was about 113 pre-pregnancy. I'm not a belly sleeper, I am a side sleeper. This is my 2nd pregnancy, I have an 11 year old daughter. Not sure how I will deliver. Hopefully naturally if all goes well. Congratulations on your twins!

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy? Twins was my first pregnancy.
    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms) [/COLOR]I started wearing maternity pants around 8 weeks b/c I didn't have pants that fit anymore, just everyting was getting tight. I started wearing maternity tops probably around 15-16 weeks.
    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant) I was about 20 weeks before I actually got comments that I was "looking pregnant"
    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly? I've never been a belly sleeper.
    How far along were you when you delivered? 34 weeks 1 day
    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another)
    Thank you so much!!! I know I'm new here but I've been lurking for awhile (like most people do! :p ) What a great site!! A friend of mine recommended it. I was already on hospital bedrest and they stopped the mag drip at 34 weeks, I went into natural labor the next monring and was already 4 cm and 100% effaced when they took me in for my c-section. It wasn't "planned" but we knew it wouldn't be much longer since the mag had basically stopped working.



    Welcome to TS and congrats on your twin pregnancy! I hope you have a healhty, uneventful pregnancy!

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy?

    First

    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms)

    This week - btwn 17 & 18 wks. I was wearing my regular clothes or my sister's (one size up from my normal size) till then using spanx. But it just got so uncomfortable trying to squeeze into them anymore


    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant)

    I could tell at 8-10 wks. But I was pretty thin, so I just looked more "average" until 16 -17 wks or so.

    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly?

    15 - 16 wks.


    How far along were you when you delivered?
    Not there yet!

    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another)
    Well see what the babies decide!

    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms)
    20 weeks. at 22 weeks I can no longer wear any of my prepregnancy tops but I can still wear my sweat pants.


    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant)
    18 weeks people started asking.


    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly?
    side sleeper all the time


    How far along were you when you delivered?
    have not delivered. first pregnancy: 37 weeks, second pregnancy induced at 38 weeks

    I hope and pray that God puts me in labor naturally. I am scared of a C- section b/c I have never had any surgeries before.

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy?
    My first



    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms)
    Tops around 12 weeks and bottoms around 16 weeks I think. I couldn't fit into my jeans after 8 weeks, but used a belly band for my work slacks for quite some time


    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant)
    15 weeks I think


    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly?
    N/A


    How far along were you when you delivered?
    N/A

    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another)
    N/A I did ask my doctor yesterday and she said we can try to deliver most likely cause baby A is head down, but it sounded like if I preferred a section she would grant me one.

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy? this is my second pg



    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms) was 100% maternity by about 9 weeks.



    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant) By about 9-10 weeks people could tell. I carry all in my belly. It would have been impossible to hide.



    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly? not a belly sleeper. but a back sleeper which is just as tough sometimes to adjust! :)


    How far along were you when you delivered? not that far yet....


    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another) I had a c section with number 1 and may again. Doc seems to be open to me trying a VBAC I am just reserving that decision until the end when we see how things have gone and where the babies are.

    COngrats on your twin pregnancy. I was pretty scared at first but I am more excited now. Part of it is feeling them move. It is amazing! :icon_biggrin:

    Hi :sign0016:

    I can answer four of your six questions :).

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy?
    This is my first pregnancy.


    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms)
    I started wearing maternity clothes at 17.5 weeks (the day my "belly popped") - I was measuring three weeks larger than this.


    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant)
    People started to be able to tell I was pregnant the following week at 18 weeks.


    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly?
    Around 18 weeks sleeping on my belly was uncomfortable - I quickly rounded out after I popped. I now sleep on my side and back. I started using a pregnancy pillow this week too (19 weeks). Hope this helps.

    1. Second Pregnancy
    2. Tops not yet because most of my tops are loose fitting. I am 17 weeks. As for bottoms I need to go get some because the rubberband loop around the button is not cutting it anymore.
    3. Some can see it now but I have not had a stranger ask yet.
    4. Stopped sleeping on my belly around 13 weeks. Using a body pillow which works great.

    What # pregnancy was your twin pregnancy? it was my first
    When did you start wearing maternity clothes full time (tops and bottoms) around like 14 or 15 weeks.

    When did you start showing (where people could tell you're pregnant)well before i found out that i was pg, my 2nd graders asked if i was having a baby....and i found out at 11 weeks that i was pg. So, i had started gaining the weight right away...

    If you were a belly sleeper, when did you have to stop sleeping on your belly? i dunno for sure, prolly around about 13 or 14 weeks

    How far along were you when you delivered? 36 weeks on the dot...

    Was it a planned delivery or did you go in labor? (I ask this because I have 2 prior c-sections and am opting for another) i went into labor but had a scheduled c-section planned for a week later. they ended up taking them when i went into labor by c-section
