all of these bellies are great! It is so neat to see how we all carry differently, and what a different 2 babies make Now we need to see some of those triplet mommas to compare.

Angela-what a cute little belly! I am jealous that you can still wear normal jeans at 14 weeks! I couldn't at 8 weeks!

Jen, don't get too excited, they were big on me pre-pregnancy and I had to hold them together with a rubber band! I'm in that "in between" stage where I'm too big for regular clothes and too small for maternity. Luckily, Old Navy makes maternity pants that are easy to wear in this stage (like adjustable waist). You look great by the way!

I have a question. I heard this is common in second time moms, but you all saw my 14 week pic. I swear, the next morning, I got up and I had totally "popped". I was definitly more popped out than the day before. My co-workers wouldn't stop looking at it and they all think it showed up over night. Did this happen to anyone else? I'll have to take another pic at 15 weeks, I'll post it next week and see what you guys think. I love it!

Have a great weekend!

I went through stages where one day I looked 30 weeks pregnant and the next I'd look 8 weeks. It just depended on how bloated or backed up I was I suppose...lol (sorry tmi).

But there did come a time when I did pop and my baby belly was noticable all the time....I can't remember now what week I was.

But even now, it seems like I look soooooo much bigger in the late afternoon/evening that I do in the morning/early afternoon. It's like every night I bloat up terribly.

My daughters teacher is pregnant. I found out about a week or so ago when she was around 13 weeks. But she most definately POPPED at 14 weeks. There's no questioning it now. It suprised her as well. She practically popped over night.

You girls all look great!!! Your baby bumps/bellies are adorable!!

I have not posted any of my pics on here yet but have been itching to so here goes....here are various pics of my twin belly so far...

They go from 12w, 15w4, 17w6d and 20w2d

It's so cool to see the progression...at 12w I had already grown quite a bit (the days of the flat tummy were gone early in this pregnancy....lol) and now I realize that this thing has a mind of it's own and my twins are running the belly show...lol

Great pics Danielle, Jessica and Jessica!!!

Now i know we have some early stage quad mommies out there. I want to watch those bellies grow! That is going to be awesome!!! I wonder how fast those bellies take to pop? I just hope you girls stay comfortable for as long as possible.
