Pregnant and toddlers questions

Mo

Im 5’7 and thin build. This is my second pregnancy(my first was twins) and Im just over 6 weeks pregnant now.

Im super bloated feeling. I know I cant be showing this soon.

My twins are constantly climbing on me and sitting in my lap. I feel a lot of pressure and have to make them move after a minute. When I lay flat, I swear I can already feel the firm “bump” I felt in first pregnancy like the top of my uterus though super low still. Is that possible this early?

And is it okay if my twins are climbing on me? I dont let them jump and try to prevent bouncing. How do you ladies do pregnancy with toddlers? Lol

Ya my uterus expanded way faster this time with my second too. My midwife at my 16 week appt said my uterus was already the size of a large grapefruit when its about a sweet potato for FTMs. I was fully in all my maternity pants by just 9 weeks.

I know right!? My hips had already expanded an inch by 9 weeks too so I was terrified it was twins because my OB couldn't fit me in until 11 weeks but phew just the one.

Yes. This is my third. I too have the hard top of uterus feeling and two toddlers. I just redirect the jumping and bouncing and encourage/promote outdoor play or indoor trampoline. They’re 4&2 for reference.

Mine are in that phase too 🙃🙃 the older is jealous anytime the younger sits with me/on me. Always a battle 😅😅 I usually stand up or just close my lap to both kids 🤷🏽‍♀️

Okay thank you! So Im not crazy lol my twins are 1.5yrs and Im trying to keep next to me instead of on me. They are going through a phase where they fight over who gets to sit in my lap.

Also I’m 9 weeks but definitely around 6 weeks I noticed the bump.
