My friend just had her twins (about 39w along, no induction).... those "lil" guys came out at 9lbs 3oz and 9lbs 10oz! OMFG. But everyone is healthy and doing well. I CAN'T EVEN.
*Spontaneous* OHSS diagnosed 08.06.2012 Right ovary removed 09.04.2012 via vertical laparotomy Essure implant placed on remaining tube 06.13.2013; successful followup scan 09.30.2013
That's my fear, DD was born at 38+5 and weight 9lb5oz on her own. Oh how I hope her sisters don't take after her, I couldn't imagine double that!

Wowsers. DD was 8 lbs (which is big "for me") but was 8 days overdue. I'm glad they won't let me go that far because I can't imagine two 8 lb babies! But now these babies are measuring 75-90th percentile and have been measuring big since 12 weeks, so now I'm 'afraid' they'll be 7.5+lbs at 38 weeks based on the charts. (not really afraid; I'd be thrilled if my babies stayed in and were that big).

Wow! I had to curl up my 9lber (who was laying on my chest) over my stomach to get an idea of how big she must've gotten! I hope she's at least 6 feet tall! lol

I gained a ton of weight (60lbs) and went full term and they were still just about 5 lbs each. In fact, it appeared mine stopped growing the last 15 days or so (normal for twins when they run out of room).
One of the other twin moms who delivered a few weeks after me in my hospital had a 7.5 and 8 pounder - and she barely gained any weight!! So you just never know!! (all of the babies were healthy)
but anyway, just have to say WOW WOW!!!!! (glad it was her and not me though!)
So amazing! And painful sounding! We are 29w and 3.3lvs which puts us in the 98th percentile and I can't imagine they'll get bigger than 6-7lbs before birth. I sure hope they do though. Your friend is a rockstar!!
