Does anyone feel A LOT BIGGER than they were with their first baby?

I didn't know I was having twins until I was 18 weeks along and so I feel better knowing that I'm caring double because I'm a lot bigger than I was with my first child at this stage. I am currently 22 weeks and looking more like 30 weeks. So what is everyone feeling on how big they feel? I am stretching horribly this round and it will probably get worse. Does anyone have any hints as to what they use for stretchmarks as well?

I bougjt Vitamine E capsules and broke them open. The liquid inside I put on my stretch marks. It was a little messty but It helped alot!! My cousin is a body builder and when he starts to get stretch marks this is what he does. He is the one that told me about it.

Not only only am I bigger but I feel more pressure on my cervix earlier than I did with my first. I had it checked and all is well, but it is sometimes painful to walk and I am only 20 weeks.

YES!!! lol! At first I thought I was just imagining it, knowing there are two babies this time not one, but when I looked through some of my photos when I was pregnant with my son, I saw that I was indeed alot bigger.



I'm 24 weeks now and I've already gained as much weight as I did through my entire first pregnancy.
