i am 24 years old i have had 2 singleton pregnancies and am 5'4" and 120 lbs...i recovered quickly from both pregnancies with minimal stretch marks. i may be pregnant with twins this time and was wondering (for those of you who have been through it) what effects it had on your body after the babies were born as far as stretch marks and loose skin. i am not worried about the weight gain, just the effects after losing the weight.(if any)

my aunt had twins and she is very very thin-it probably depends on your body

I learned something else from my doc. The more isn't always better. If you are uderweight before pregnancy you are allowed to gain abt 40 to 45 lbs during pgcy. If you are on target wt then you can gain upto 30 to 35 lbs. But if you are overwt then you shd not gain more than 20 to 25 lbs. It all depends on how big you are before pgcy.

I know two friends who had twins and they have no visible stretch marks while wearing their bikinis. They told me they used Body Shoppe Nut B___ter since they started showing. The funny thing is, they don't even know eachother.

I just had twin girls and they did have an affect on my body. I have two other children. And this time the stretch marks hurt and are much uglier. They are not going away. Does anyone know why you have this lump of fat or excess skin that hangs over your waist after a c-section?

I am the mother of 1 year old twins. I gained about 37 pounds. I did get a couple new stretch marks but not too bad. Yes I have the over hang of skin above the c-section area but it's been a year and has tighten up a bit a good diet would help more.

When I was pregnant with my second son my midwife told me that stretch marks are hereditary. Both my mom and I have them.

i put on 20kg (about 40 pounds) while i was pregnant with my twin boys, i lost it all and am now 60kg in total. I have a lot of stretch marks and a really saggy belly, so prepare urself for the excess skin left behind on ur belly you may not be able to get rid of without a well deserved tummy tuck.. haha, my boys are 2 now and i still got it! i think its just a reminder so you dont forget how special it actually is to be a mother of twins! :)
