21 weeks with twins. Bump not too big???

[Lovebug1821]

Hi Ladies!

I am 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant with boy/girl twins. (My first pregnancy) I feel like my belly is not very big yet. I am showing a little bit, but for twins I feel like I should be much bigger than I am.

I had my anatomy scan last week and the babies are doing great, so I shouldn't worry about my small bump right? I hate when people tell me "You're so tiny!"

Is this normal not to have a big bump yet at 21 weeks with twins & it's my first pregnancy?
Thank you in advance!

Yes. I think its much to do with their position. From 24wks you typically start to gain more weight, so I wouldn't be surprised if you start looking bigger from then onwards. It's good for your back to have a smaller bump. As long as your babies are doing well you have nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't worry about it, everyone shows differently.
Are you gaining weight? I suppose your doctor would say something if he was worried, and your scan showed everything was on track, so it's probably just your build!

About people saying how tiny you are, ignore them. Or tell them how fat they are
Take it as a compliment, I think you'll miss it when people start to say "you look like you're about to pop any day now".
It's amazing what people say sometimes!

Thank you for the reply. Yea, all my sonograms have been great so I know I have nothing to worry about. But I can't help but worry about everything! Haha! =)

Thank you for your reply! Makes me feel better. Yea, I wasn't very skinny to begin with so maybe that's why. But like i said, all my sonograms have been great so I know I shouldn't worry. But I can't help but worry about everything! I just want everything to be ok. Thanks again!
