chapter 4

At now 27 weeks Sarah spent most of her time in bed. The doctor had told her it was vital for the babies since they needed to grow as much as possible before the delivery. Even though her pregnancy was going well for carrying seven babies now the blonde always felt uncomfortable with her enormous belly. Every day, it felt heavier and heavier. Now the weight had also started accumulating in her hips and legs. Her boobs were huge and swollen so she rarely put a bra as she didn't want to feel restricted.

Pretty much all of her time awake was spent eating to make sure all the babies had enough food. John would prepare her a family size breakfast with a giant milkshake before leaving in the morning for work. She would then have a second breakfast, lunch, 3-4 snacks in the afternoon, supper with John and then dessert. Even though sometimes she was tired of eating, her appetite was literally insatiable. She was stuffed but also always ready for more food. When she was lying down her belly was all she could see and looked distorted since it was so big.

Today the nurse was making a home visit to make sure Sarah and the septuplets were doing fine.

"Hi Sarah, are you doing good today?" asked Hannah the soft nurse that would come for check ins.

"The usual, just feeling bigger and bigger!" answered Sarah who was sat in bed rubbing her tummy.

"First if that's okay I would like to weight you" announced the nurse placing a large scale next to the bed.

Sarah slowly sat on the side of the bed and then with Laura's help stood up. Just that now felt like a lot of effort and the blonde's breathing got heavier. Her weight was piling up and she barely walked nowadays. She waddled to the scale huffing and puffing and waited for the verdict.

"382 pounds" said the nurse, noting the result.

"No wonders I feel so heavy!" laughed Sarah while sitting back down to catch her breath.

"I'm happy you're not losing weight, since the babies do need a lot of calories and I don't think you should restrict your diet as long as they are not born; it could be quite risky and stressful on them. After their birth your appetite will decrease quite considerably, don't worry." smiled Laura.

The nurse did a few more tests, but they all looked good so she left wishing Sarah a good day.

The blonde spent the rest of the day in bed eating away, like she did every day.
