Hey there! What symptoms did you ladies go through, or are going through? What has been the worst, probably due to carrying twins? What has been the least problematic?

So far, the fatigue and round ligament pains has been the worst. The fatigue has dropped off since I got past the first trimester, but the RLPs started exactly at 18 weeks, and has only gotten worse...unless I sit a lot...which I do. I eat almost constantly, and I ate even more it seemed during the first trimester. Lucky for me, no real morning sickness, just slight queasiness throughout the day.

Also, when did you ladies start showing and what is typical for women in your family? For instance, my sister and mother don't typically start showing until about 6 months. My sister didn't look pregnant until after 8 months with her first child. I started showing a little at about 13 weeks. At 19w2d, I am noticeably showing.

Have you tried upping your potassium intake for the leg cramps? Bananas are a good source, but I know that potassium helps with muscles and if you need a quick fix you can try pickle juice (the vinegar does something to relax spasming muscle).

No I didn't know to try and up my potassium but thank you because now I can try that and I love bananas so it'll be a breeze hopefully it'll work for me.

I like bananas pretty much only when they are still slightly green. It's an overpowering flavor otherwise.
