I was pretty sure I started feeling mine from about 14 weeks-ish, but it could of also been my imagination . I just had a look at my pregnancy photos and there is one at 10wks and one at 14weeks and there wasn't much size difference at all between them. The next one at 18 weeks I am very noticably pregnant. I remember at around 14 weeks, it was when my morning sickness settled, and not much really went on pregnancy wise.
If you are worried, call your dr and see if you can have a quick scan to reassure yourself. Stressing out is the last thing you need to be doing (if you are) while you are growing those 2 precious bundles xx
about 14weeks, i could feel their presences...not in a spiritual way in an actual physical way... i knew which baby was the presenting twin and could feel where they were correctly...confirmed on u/s at 8weeks
They are monochorionic twins (same sex sharing one placenta) - I have had about 5 ultrasounds so far - but I have No Idea where the placenta is or who is where thanks for the insight into only feeling each one on a era tin side, instead of all over. This is uninteresting concept which I wasn't aware if and hadn't considered.
My next ultrasound is may 7 - I am definitely going to ask where the placenta is, where each of the babies are and basically - where everything is on the 'inside' it's just a bit freaky not to have felt anything yet! I did call my OB's rooms and spoke to his midwife - she said if no bleeding or loss then I likely have nothing to be concerned about (I'm sure that's what they say to all the paranoid mums to be who call).
Some days I don't feel big at all - other days I feel massive for 15 weeks. Thanks for the idea of taking regular pregnancy photos - I am going to start doing this once a fortnight.
Kelly - your photos are amazing! I loved that you measured, I never thought to do that. It's funny that you got so many comments asking if there was more than 2, and I got so many comments asking if I was sure there was 2 in there.

Kelly - thank you soooooo much for the photos! I have been struggling to imagine how big I will get - now I just feel a bit scared - and in awe of how you coped and got anything done!
I have to ask because I am curious I hope you dontthink I'm rude - what was your recovery like? Did your tummy go back to some semblance of normalcy or does the stretching remain even after the babies have been out for a while? I love the measuring too! I am definitely going to try and start doing that
Mrs Cricket did you get big as well? I am interested in whether all mums of twins get big - or whether some women stay the same size comparatively as a singleton preg?
Thanks so much again ladies - I really appreciate the advice and support.
