I think I read in the WTE Multiples book that your uterus is 8 wweks ahead. My Dr has been telling me for weeks that mine was all the way up high like I'm 40 weeks already.

I have heard that you measure about 8 weeks ahead. Wasn't really true for me. I never really got that big (only made it to 34 weeks) at all. Although I think one baby was way up under my ribs.

I'm 8 weeks now with twins and I am not showing at all..so does that mean I am supposed to look like I am 16 weeks?

I just had my 20 week, and this is what Doc. said to me...26 weeks..I am so much bigger this time than with my singleton....

I don't think it holds so true in the beginning. I did not start showing until about 16 weeks.. but between 16-20 I have grown/stretched a lot!!

I delievered at 32 weeks exactly and a couple of days before delivery, my Dr said i was measuring full term for a singleton. So about 8 weeks ahead as PP's said.
