21 week bump

This is my second pregnancy but first twin pregnancy. Now I expected my bump to grow faster and bigger than with my first (who is 23 months) but I’m really struggling now to be a Mum to my toddler. This bump is so heavy and large that I struggle to keep up with my toddler who does t want his hair brushed and runs away from me etc. Also I’m getting real stretching pains down the sides of my bump. Anyone else feeling or felt this way?

Yes! I’m 27 weeks with MCDA after 1 boy and have gone from size 8-10 to 18, can’t walk/stand/bend down because the pain on my back is so bad it makes me nauseous, and picking up my 20 month old doesn’t even cross my mind. I’m struggling to even get in and out of the shower!

I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. I was so active in my first pregnancy, in the gym everyday lifting weights and out walking the dog and now I can’t walk the stairs without looking like an 80 year old! I’m desperately trying to enjoy this pregnancy because it’s such a miracle and I’m also sure this will be my last but the exhaustion is unreal!
