I'm looking for some reassurance from ladies carrying or that have carried twins. I'm 21W and have days that my stomach is so tight and saw and gets really saw right at the top just under my boobs. I'm scared about how il cope when I'm even bigger and how painfull the stretching is going to be :( Its my first pregnancy

I haven't had twins but I've had big babies. And in due course your stomach muscles will likely seperate down the middle, this will be how u accommodate the growing babies. Some women never split fully and if your like me u will. I already have a 4 cm gap where they have gone again. It's kinda painful and u loose the ability to pull yourself up earlier on as there isn't the abs to hold u in but it will happen if it needs to. All that tearing will cause pain I'm afraid. If it gets bad u can wear a doubled or single tubigrip over your whole bump to support you

I'm very petite and have always been about the same weight so my skin or muscles really arnt used to stretching, yesterday was very bad and I do care work in the community so in always in and out of the car and on my feet lots I just got home last night and felt so useless and like I was just being a big baby. I will definitely mension to my specialist next week about a tubigrip. I have a wierd lump thing that comes up in the middle of my stomach from below my belly button up to top of stomach when i move from lying to sitting up or stretch up could that be the start of the muscles separating? x

Could be yeah or a hernia which pregnant ladies can get due to the abdominal separation. I'd show your specialist when u see them and get them to check it out for you
