Here is my 25 week bump pic taken on Saturday, I'm so confused although I am still measuring ahead it has reduced from 11 weeks ahead to only 5!. Twin 1 had moved head down so this might have something to do with it.

My hubby is so cross with me I have lost all spacial awareness, not that I had much before but I'm forever 'bumping' into him with my tummy.

Apple your bump is looking lovely. My button has never popped before, but I think it might in another couple of weeks, wait and see.......

alwilan- you are getting so round! I love it How are you feeling? I slowed down too. When i went for my 29 week visit i was only 4 weeks ahead and I had been 7. I think at some point they to have to slow down a little. How is your back? It was around 20ish weeks I just became miserable!
Peace- the belly button popping was kinda painful. You coudl see all the stress on my belly there. I figured it would be under my bump, but nope..all around my button

My c-section isnt to bad. I hate I had to have one b/c it was so weird, but I was told it is dangerous to vaginally deliver pre term twins b/c of their head size and small bodies. I of course went with the safest way. At least I can say I have done it both ways now

Hi Daisy, my back is starting to give me grief and sleeping is a nightmare - both literally and metaphorically. Also starting to find I'm getting out of breath quicker. Your story has given my hubby and I so much hope, it has scared us out of our wits the thought of delivering preterm, and although fingers crossed we will make it all the way. Reading your story and seeing Nathan and Emily has made us realise that it will be ok.

 

[daisybby03]

it will. With the way medicine has advanced now it's amazing what they can do. I swear you just gotta have faith! I had no idea how hard it would be. I mean, My husband and I knew we would have NICU babies..I just dont have the body to carry twins. My cervix is just so small they told me. Thought I would at least make it to 32 weeks, but I guess they had other plans. I have no idea how they got pnemonia, but they knew they needed out. I am so glad I got 3 steroid shots and the magnesium which helps them with their brains. I was able to hold them in 24 more hours just to get that! I pray no of you all have to deal with NICU babies. It kills you, but I just keep praying for them and staying positive. They are strong babies and they want to survive! I love talk to other parents who have been in out shoes..it really helps me get through it all.

But with sleeping, I dont miss that pain at all! I was so miserable! If I wasnt awake for indegestion or back pain, I was up peeing! It is so nice to be able to feel normal again! I can finally see my lady bits again! LOL...forgot what they looked like

Alwilan - my belly button never popped my last pregnancy, but it is partially popped now, so I'm sure I'll have a proper outie in no time.

Jmla04 - what gorgeous boys you have

Here is my 18 week bump. The bottom 1/3 of my bump still feels sorta soft and flexible, but the top 2/3 is rock hard and jammed up into my ribs. Ouch! Hopefully everything will move down somewhat, or I'm going to have a really difficult time catching my breath in another month or two.

26 weeks! Belly button is on the verge of popping out. Feels very strange

 

[mechanica]

I'm jealous of all you who have belly buttons that haven't popped out! I have an innie/outie anyway, so it popped REALLY early. Now i have to tape it down - it looks like a nose through my clothes!!!

This is my 31 week bump, i've had a stressful 7 days (monitoring, infections, general hormonal changes, etc) but i had a scan today which has made me feel much better!

 

[daisybby03]

great pictures, I am so glad everybody else is staying pregnant!

 

[Alwilan]

Jmla, your boys are lovely. Wondertwins your bump is so cute. Loretta and mechania your bumps are looking great My button is stil in, think i might have another week or two.

 

[wondertwins]

Looking good, Loretta!

Mechanica- You really look fabulous with that big ole 31 week bump, and I love that you're taping your button down.

My belly button is still mostly in, but if I put my hands on my belly and pull the skin, it pops out. It's pretty amusing.

Hey everyone!

Everyone is looking stunning!

Here is me @ 22+1. I feel huge & my legs feel massive.

What does everyone do for exercise? I really need to do some as I'm getting myself down over it!

Oh & had a scan today & saw the babies - measuring spot on dates - Twin 1 is 468g & Twin 2 is 479g So not much between the 2.

Is flipping from one position to another in bed and getting absolutly knackered classed as exercise? If so I'm getting loads! Once upon a time long, long ago this post would have had a totally different meaning, but there is no way i could go for that form of exercise anymore

Ps, great bump x

great pictures, I am so glad everybody else is staying pregnant!

Hi Daisy, how are you all getting on? Your profile picture is lovely x

 

[apple84]

Exercise? Beside caring for a busy toddler - none. Oh well maybe the occasional walk through the mall or Walmart. I was going to the gym 2-3 times/week before I got pregnant, but now I actually try to strain my body as little as possible. Too much walking or bending or lifting and I pay for it in the evening.

Also reading Dr Luke's book on multiple pregnancies really made me focus on listening to my body and right now my body is saying "bed or recliner?"
