The Adjective of Huge

My patience is running so thin you could practically see it through my gynomous belly.

I forgive those who do not know that I am carrying double, but for those who do and to then break into exclamation, "You are SO DARN HUGE!!!" is utterly 'duh.'

What else do you expect? I have got 2 human lives within me, double placentas, double water bags, and whatever else essential that I may have missed out.

And I am in alot of pain and discomfort.

Hazards of a Protruding Belly

It is very easy to forget what your actual circumference is, around your middle, until you get a rude bloody painful reminder.

Real life accidents:-

1. Hot tray of 3.5 kg roast beef on the kitchen counter
2. Reaching up for the cabinet above stove while cooking a pot of soup
3. Rush of steam coming out of my superb giant size Tefal iron

Vital Stats

When you are past 20 weeks, each pre-natal visit is completed with a vital stats measurement.

I am 25 weeks now and yesterday ob-gyn whipped out a measuring tape to measure my mound. It is supposed to be from the top of your pubic bone to the top of your bump, and your measurement in cm should correspond with the number of weeks you are pregnant. Therefore if you are 25 weeks, you should measure 25 cm etc.

I hereby confirm that I am not imagining my gynomous belly. It is officially 5cm bigger than a pregnancy with singleton. Doctor reassured me that is normal.
