Twin Tips…. Pregnant Twin Belly Pictures- NO STRETCH MARKS!
This week our Twins {& MORE} Board is tackling pregnant belly pictures! We want you guys to see that all women who carry multiples are different. Erin is going to share with us her precious belly when she carried identical twin boys who are now two years old!! And boy do I envy no stretch marks!
Looking back, I really wish I would have documented the growth of my belly a little more. My photographs were hit or miss.
This was the last photo taken of my belly at 28 weeks.
I know the quality isn’t all that great…but if you look closely…you can see I didn’t have a single stretch mark. Can you even believe that? I am still in shock. No stretch marks!
Baby B sat very high up in my ribs. I was always rubbing a bump in my belly that I thought was a head. I later found out it was Baby B’s little butt I was rubbing the whole time. Baby A sat very low in my belly. So low that he was difficult to photograph via ultrasound as well as get a good listen of his heartbeat. He was the baby that ended up with one of those little monitors on his head inside the womb prior to delivery.
This shot, although blurry, was the last photo taken of my husband and I pre-children. I was exactly 31 weeks of pure swollen goodness.
At that point the doctors were still positive that I could go several weeks longer while on hospital bed rest.
Thanks to a lovely infection and many contractions throughout the night, the following morning I was told I was going to meet my sweet boys that day.
My name is Erin. I am a full time working mom to 2 year old identical twin boys, and wife to my best friend for 5 years and counting. In my spare time (because I have so much of THAT) I enjoy photography, blogging, tweeting, and catching up on the latest in reality TV. You can find Erin over at Goldylocks and Her Three Bears.
I LOVE that picture of the boys. They are just so sweet! It still amazes me how small they start and how fast they get big. And no stretch marks? That is amazing. I wish so much I didn't have any. Oh well… 🙂
That last picture with the twins' hands on top of each other is just adorable!
erin, you look fantastic!! so great that your boys thrived!!
I am doing research for my university thesis, thanks for your great points, now I am acting on a sudden impulse.

erin…so jealous of your smooth beautiful belly!!!
You are lucky by then that you have no stretch marks during your pregnancy period. Most mums are not lucky like your’s. They can’t hide scars that leave a mark as an honor of being a woman and a mother. You are so amazing and I really love your dedication with your twins and more on sacrifices upon carrying both of them. I really appreciate how you handle all over this.
I’m so proud of you!
Maria 🙂
