I am pregnant with my first set of twins. I have never been pregnant before. I was looking on a website to see how big I should be at 16 weeks.
The website site showed that I should be smaller. I looked at a 20 to 22 week image and I was about that size. What should I do. I tried to remember how big my mom was when she was pregnant with my twin sisters. And my sister when she was pregnant with her twins. Also, I need helppicking out names. They are both girls. My husband and I like the names Elizabeth Brooke, Taylor Marie, Brittany Paige, Emily Courtney, Kaitlyn Emily. What names are your favorites. Also,where can I find a store with a website that sells maternity clothing when you are pregnant with twins. Thanks!!

When you are having twins, you will probably look about a month more pregnant than you are. Don't worry about it. Also, everyone carries their pregnancies differently, so your height and frame size can make you look more or less pregnant. Typically, the shorter, smaller boned, and thinner you are, the bigger you will look.
As for names, that is something that you and your husband really need to think about. It is much more important what you think than what we do.
With regards to maternity clothing, you wear the same things whether you are carrying twins or one. You may just need to go up a size near the end of your pregnancy.
Best of luck for the next 24 weeks!

I would try Motherhood maternity. They have an online store as well as locations in malls all over the place. They have the most trendy looking maternity clothes- really cute stuff in a wide array of sizes.
As for the size issue, I wouldn't worry about that. As long as everything's going well and they're developing normally, it should be fine. Everyone's body is different.
Taylor Marie and Brittany Paige are really cute names.
Elizabeth Brooke and Kaitlyn Emily are a little more elegant sounding so it depends on what you really like or how you feel that day lol.
Anyway, if you go with any of those names, that is how I would pair them.

I was HUGE for all three of my pregnancies. Everyone thought it was twins with all three kids. Doctor ordered extra ultrasound just to be sure. Don't worry everyone is different. As long as you feel good and eat well all will be fine. Your names sound good to my only suggestion would be don't make them sound to much alike. My sister in law had twins (identical) and named them Mikaela and Mikena. Even those who could tell them apart get their names mixed up.

Every pregnancy is different, every bellly is different! Eve the same women will 'show' differently with each of her pregnancies. With my 3rd I looked like I was having twins, I was huge. With my 2nd I was pretty small. And even with the 'pretty small' belly in my 2nd pregnancy I had someone tell me that their wife who was pregnant with twins never got as big as I was at 7 months pregnant.
Congrats on your twins!

Wow!!! You have twins in your family and you're pregnant with twins yourself!! Amazing!! I'm a twin myself, but I don't have any twin children and neither does my sister. It sounds like your babies are growing pretty healthy, I don't think it's a problem that you're bigger than you think you should be, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Some of my favorite names for girls are Kiley, Samantha, Mikayla, Cassady, Megan, Kaylie, Cassie, Cara, and Kora.

Don't let anyone tell you how big you should be, or tell you that you're really big. You are perfect for your body and your babies. As long as you are eating relatively healthily, you're doing the best you can.
You might want to check into programs that give you free stuff when you have more than one baby. I read a book once, like a consumers' guide or girlfriends' guide to baby products, that told where you could write for free items if you are having multiples. Good luck!

Don't worry about size!! No big. Especially since it was only a month off, and you're having twins!! Sounds pretty kosher to me. www.motherwear.com

Congratulations on your double blessing! Don't worry about your present weight gain, but be aware of how you're eating from this point forward. Read a little about nutrition during pregnancy.

the doctor would tell you if you have anything to worry about, so if your worried tell your doctor your conserns but i wouldnt worry most babies that are twins dont weigh that much yours will just weigh a little bit more... i think taylor marie, and elizabeth brooke the other two dont go
