Hi there, I am brand new to this and
wanted to get some opinions because I am
going through my paranoid stage right now.
I have an ob appt in a little more than a
week, but needed some info now.
I am 12 weeks, 3 days pregnant with twins
via in-vitro fertilization. I just
stopped all the progesterone shots and
estrogen pills on friday. Over the
weekend, had bad headaches. Is it normal
to feel kinda yuck after stopping all
that? That was my first question. Today
I am a little better, but still a slight
headache.
Second item, these will be my 3rd and 4th
children, had the tubes tied 8 years ago,
divorced, remarried, therefore the
in-vitro route. Anyways, I am overweight,
started about 223 when I got pregnant.
Lots of morning sickness, and just overall
not wanting to eat, nothing sounds good,
feel like I am going to vomit when I do
eat, well 12 weeks later, I am down to
205. Still don't feel like eating much,
trying to be as healthy as possible,
veggies and fruits, etc. But, I see all
this info about how much more you have to
eat having twins and I just can't do it!
Even being overweight and not pregnant, I
still didn't eat very much. Also, I am
not even really showing and I get a little
paranoid thinking I should be showing a
lot more because of the twins. I know I
have lost weight and perhaps that is it,
my belly is smaller because of that, I
just don't know!!!!
Can someone help me!!!!
Thank you so much for any advice you can
give. Sunny

It's not common to show at 12 weeks, even
if it's not your first pregnancy. I
didn't show at all until 20ish weeks.
Overweight women sometimes don't show
until much later. I'm not sure how
twins would affect that, but your babies
are still quite small right now.
I'm sorry to say I don't have answers for
your other questions, but good luck!

Does your dr know that you dont wanna eat
much cause you feel sick. Thats I how I
felt the first trimester with twins.

What does your doctor say about weight
loss? Sounds like a first trimester thing
to me. I'll bet once the morning
sickness/yuck is over, you'll be gaining
away. Remember, a lot of the last few
months you will be laid back a bunch - so
you are bound to gain weight when the
babies are gaining weight!
As far suckers, babies are small at 12
weeks. Even 2 of them. You have many
months left ahead to grow, grow, grow. It
doesn't surprise me that you aren't
showing, since first trimester showers are
generally bloat and gas (not all. Don't
flame me everyone!).

Thank you guys for being so nice an
supportive since this is my first time on

guess when you pay a fortune to get
pregnant for a 3rd time, you want
everything to go perfect, you know???
