First time pregnant & with Twins!

Hi all, my husband and i are 8 weeks pregnant with Twins!! woohoo!! tongue
This is my first pregnancy, my brothers are also twins and my mother had them when i was 15, so i remember some bits a pieces smile
I just wanted to ask, is it normal for your pants not to fit at the 8 week stage?? When should i look into getting some maternity wear?
I have been eating allot more than what i usually would, only because I'm so hungry every hour or so, but nothing too bad, relatively healthy.
Has anyone else found that they have a protruding belly? I have looked on sites, but most woman commenting have already had children, and I'm told it's normal to show early even with one if you've been pregnant before? Any newbies? grin

How exciting, congrats.................Yes I showed nd couldn't my pants up by 8 weeks sweetie, so dnt b alarmed. Just wear wot ever u feel comfy in.

Congratulations! And yes completely normal to not fit your pants already. I am only having 1 and couldnt do my jeans up at 8 weeks. Just wear what is comfy and if you wear long tops no one has any idea if your pants are undone or not. Mine are undone most of the time now because it is just so much comfier.

sounds normal especially as u have two in there smile i would suggest getting maternity clothes soon... alot of people say to hold off but the way i see it the earlier u buy them (provided u intend on buying maternity clothes) the more wear u can get out of them.

Hi there

im also 8 weeks with fraternal twins. Our first pregnancy and we are both over the moon, My partner has twein siblings but as we used clomid to conceive i think that had more of a part to play in it.

I have brought the maternity belt as i find my pants a little snug. My belly is certainly expanding. Buy some loose flowing tops (Millers has excellent ones - not just for the older generation - i;m turning 30th on Sunday).

Im not very hungry at the moment -metabolism has slowed right down but going to see on Thurs if this is a issue smile

With my first I struggled to do up my pants by the 8 week mark and I only had one in there! I bought a belly belt, but actually found it really uncomfortable. I got some basic materinity gear from Kmart and Target and when I was at home I just got around in DH's trackies! I think it is never too early to get some maternity wear and I don't think you need to spend alot of money on it, you just have to be comfy smile

Congratulations too!

Congrats on your twinnies grin

I showed pretty much straight away!lol Although they are not my first. I think you will find you will always measure bigger than a singleton. I found I wasnt hungry at all for the first trimester, just ate to keep the nausea away.

I tried one of those belly belts (bought from target) wore it with my normal jeans but it soon get uncomfortable. I got 2 pairs of maternity jeans from Jeanswest for $99. I love them! I started off with folding the stretchy belly part over, but now at 16wks I wear it over my belly.
