14 Interesting Photos Of What It’s Truly Like To Be Pregnant With Multiples



Ever imagine what it’s like to house more than one human at a time? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by both the physical and emotional pressures of pregnancy. And for most people, opening up about the challenging parts of being pregnant can motivate someone else, especially as it doesn’t in any way make sense to pretend the whole experience was all sweet. It’s also healthy to vent out the feelings, whether good or bad. 

While it’s inevitable to fall into the trap of seeing the negative when expecting, noting what you are grateful for during the pregnancy journey is one incredible way to stay emotionally balanced and make it through the fatigue and exhaustion of the experience. Possibly you might be able to relate to some or perhaps all of the experiences these women [compiled below] went through. It wasn’t an easy phase, but they’ve proved that pregnancy is intriguing!

Quadruplets Born Into Our World At 31 Weeks.

“We haven’t had a growth scan since 27+5, but the babes all look great (cord flow, placentas, fluid, and heart rates), and it’s truly a miracle we have surpassed the average gestation for quads! I will never forget my infertility doc telling me I would never be able to grow four babies with my frame, and I will always be grateful we didn’t listen.”

“I was told that I did not need to be worried, but that it was time for a steroid injection which will enhance the babies' lungs maturity. The steroid I got usually improves the blood flow, and it might give some extra days for the babies before they'll have to come out. Everyone keeps telling me that 33 weeks’ gestational age is great, so I am trying to think positive and hoping that everything will go fine with all 3.”

“I'm pretty embarrassed to share this, but I can't get over the size of my belly in this video. It looks like a big giant boob, and my belly button looks painful. We took this to someday show our kids where they were located in mommy's belly.”

20 Weeks Pregnant With Twins.

I was smiling in this photo, but gosh, it was such a horrible pregnancy. I felt sick every day, was aching from about 20 weeks pregnant and was full of constant worry as one of the twins didn't move much towards the end. But hey ho, my beautiful twins are here now and were worth every ache, pain, and emotion that I went through during the pregnancy and traumatic birth.”

“You see, I battled with myself when the stretch marks first developed. Why? Because all over Instagram, I saw beautiful, CLEAR pregnant bellies. It made me feel like I was the only one who was developing so many so soon. On top of that, I had an encounter with a rude ultrasound tech who literally told me I needed to oil more because they were “so bad. Never allow a false image of perfection to prevent you from seeing the beauty in your humanity. Your normal won’t be everybody else’s normal, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful! Enjoy and celebrate YOUR journey!”

Postpartum Body - From 1 To 52 Weeks After Birth.

“Today, I am left with the typical mom body: Deflated boobs (I have gone down a cup size in bras), saggy belly with lots of excess skin, less tight butt, lack of muscles everywhere but the upper arms, hair loss, more visible veins on my thighs, and the list goes on. I can wear all of my old clothes again, but not all of them fit as well as they did before. In the end, it all comes down to finding clothes you feel good in, surrounding yourself with nice people, and finding self-confidence in other things than the undressed body in the mirror.”
