The camera is playing tricks! I have them all around my belly button.. look closer you'll see. I have to be honest... it could be worst! I have seen some terrible stretch marks with twin pregnancies. I never thought it would be this hard for me accept that my body is changing though. I have been sooo emotional about it! Maybe it's just the pregnancy hormones!
I have a hard time accepting my changing body sometimes too Sam, especially when people are always telling me how huge I look. The worst was when I was in a motherhood maternity store and a lady asked me when I was due. I told her and she gave me a look like OMG. I then told her it was twins then she was like wow you look great. At this point the clerk chimmed in and said "Actually I think she is quite large to be having twis." I was kind of hurt by that. Another time we were at a family gathering and my mom and my stepgrandfather (who weighs about 115 pounds) were sitting on a picnic table that was lob sidded. When I sat down on it it made my stepgrandfathers side kind of shoot up if you get what I mean. He looked at me and said wow, we can sure tell who has packed on the pounds at this table. That made me feel really sad, I honestly almost started to cry.
Oh Liane... That is terrible. I don't think you look huge at all. I have just learned that all strangers have their opinions and comments. It get sooooo annoying to hear peoples comments on your size for carrying twins! I've mostly heard that I am so small. I went to my DH doctor appointment w/ him and when the his doctor told me I was small I got a little paranoid and talked to my OB about. She just said I am carrying the well and still expects them to be over 6 lbs. Our last growth scan about 2.5 weeks agao estimated 5.5 already. Look how differantly myself, Shelly, Summer, and you are all carrying these babies. It just goes to show that every pregnancy is differant!
Oh and I have called my DH crying twice about my stretch marks! I really don't know why it has been so hard. I had kind of prepared myself in the start and then when they hadn't showed up still at 36 weeks I thought I might be one of the lucky few. Maybe I just got hopes up and feel more let down becaused of how late they appeared.

hey - thats terrible liane but when i was preggo my DOCTOR told me i was too "fat" and should stop eating all the stuff i was and "start eating like the chinese do like rice and stuff" and then he said "cuz you dont see chinese people getting fat"..... i left his office in tears and requested to never see him again! The next one i saw (same office, bunch of docs) said i was fine adn i was healthy so not to worry.... i was glad but i did gain over 80 pounds!
Oh Liane- Well heres one better I was preggo with one and everyone asked me if I was having twins and I was like, "no its just one" and then they would be like, "BOY, YOU are HUGE!" Ya that made me feel good ...NOT! Every pregnancy is different, and I have to tell you, you look beautiful, healthy.... so SCREW THEM!
Sam I get that too all the time you are small to be carrying twins. It makes me so paranoid. But if you have a small frame before you get pregnant then most likely you are gonna be small. My Dr always tells me that i can see that you were tiny before you got pregnant. When i got pregnant i was 136 pounds and i am 5 7 i went form 173 to 136. i lost all this weight so that i could get pregnant and ovaulte and everything. so the hell with what people say about how big you are or small because they don't know. as long as my dr says that the babies are where they supposed to be..SCREW everyone else...
Thanks ladies, your stories make me realize that some people are just insensitive and just plain rude. I am happy with my size until people make comments like that...it hurts. My doctor is very pleased with where I am at and where my babies are at and that is what is most important to me. My DH always tells me how beautiful I am so that helps also. No ones opinion matters more to me than his. He always tells me that he will love me no matter what. I started out at 127 pounds and I was 5 ft 2 in. My last appointment I was at 153 pounds. I thought to myself that 26 pounds for 25 weeks pregnant with twins wasnt too bad! Thanks again ladies, you are so wonderful and I dont know what I would do without you!!
Ladies...
I honestly think pregnant women are so amazing and beautiful! I do think they have some sort of "glow" to them. I really can't wait to be pregnant. I am and have always been overweight and when I get pregnant, I will be even pokier!!! But that is just that much more love to share!! :-) Liane, Sam, and other wonderful Super Mom to be....be happy! Enjoy the time that you are pregnant...you are supposed to be pleasantly plumpy. That's the joy of becoming a mom :-)...once the baby comes, I am sure you will all get your sexy bodies back....eventually :-)
Oh another thing....can you imagine if men were to get pregnant??? We are so much prettier with the big bellies!!!
So there you have it...BE happy and enjoy the extra pounds!

you're very welcome dear just burns me up esp with everything you and your dh have gone thru to have these lil angels...I'm so sorry for that type of pain. I have battled with my weight and looks for years...really got to me with my first marriage with my ex cheating and hitting me and noone should say that to anyone. It just makes me sad that ppl are that cruel...anyway dear pls don't listen to them you look marvelous darling!!!!! loves you dear!!!! sending you big (((Hugs)))....I'm going to find a voodoo queen and get her to place a curse of these evil ppl for you...lol...j/j...if I knew one she would place a curse on my fat....lol....
well love you deserve the kinds words and I love you to the end of the world...I know we never meet but just know you are the sweetest and thank you so much for the kind words...right now I don't feel great just very tired with things on this end but it's all worth it for the health of my darling brave husband. Really Liane pls don't listen to them...I would report that clerk at that store mger...they don't have a right to say that....she should know better...but oh well many ppl don't have matters anymore and are rude, cude, and just simply have hate and bitterness and jealously in their hearts...I have see and dealt with that for years. I don't really let ppl bother me but sometimes I do let them have a piece of my mind because basically they are just stupid!!!!!...remember you cannot fix stupid!!!!
