I can't imagine you pg with twins, Amanda!! You would need some sort of contraption to carry with you that you could rest your belly on.

P.S. I want a very tiny baby too... I wish that we could be more like marsupials... give birth to something the size of a kidney bean and then carry it around in a pouch for a few months!

Everyone's different, but I feel that even the tiny ones are difficult without an epidural! Although, some people make it through fine with these enormous babies, and they do it the non-med way.

I expect that since you are in such good shape, Amanda, your pregnancy will probably go smoothly, very little weight gain, and an easier birth. You are probably going to be one of those people that only gain in your tummy, and that people like me end up in envy for a pregnancy like your's!

I'll definitely 100% be getting an epidural!

I don't know how I will carry- I am only 4'11" and at my last dr appt 96 lbs. I don't want to gain a bunch of weight since there is nowhere for it to go! Oh well, if I gain a lot it will be worth it!

Oh and my sis and mom went up to DD's (actually I think my sis was an "F") after giving birth. Oh jeez- I like the size of my boobs the way they are!

Amanda,
Maybe you will be one of the luckies that go back to normal after their use is fufilled. Unfortunaely, for a lot of people, it seems like not only size changes, but the placement. I remember some movie with molly ringwald...maybe 16 candles...where the aunt or grandmother talks about perkiness. Well, after kids, you have to either work really hard or have surgery to get the perkiness back! On the plus side, guys typically like the extra baggage that you accumulate after having kids! Haha

Me, personally, i have already decided to have a lift and have been promised the surgery by hubby, after i am finished having kids. I don"t want any extra...just the perkiness of maybe a "b" again! Looking forward to that surgery very much, but who knows...maybe i will change my mind.
Gosh, 16 candles makes me feel pretty darn old. I wonder if some of the younger gals on the site have even seen that movie!

I didnt have a real problem with that. I breast fed for 9 months and went back to regular however I always wore those tanks with the built in support all through prgnancy even to sleep in.

After T I my boobs went back to normal, in fact a few summers ago I lost a scary amount of weight (health issues) then bounces back to normal, and they have still remained good. but it is a clear understanding that if they go south, they are getting fixed!

Amanda, I am super high risk pg, and although all the testing, poking and proding gets old it is so worth it. Also T was a little baby 6.6 and I was in labor for 36 hours, so even the little ones can give you a run for your money!

Maybe it is just nursing 6 kids that they tend to go south...but, I do plan for them back up north someday!
