If you've ALREADY had your twins - weight?

Temp6313048411121614 · June 2009

I'm not obsessing about it, but how much weight did you gain and at what week did you deliver? I asked my OB and he wouldn't tell me, he didn't want me to freak out. I know I could've pushed, but figured he'd let me know if I needed to gain more or slow down. I have a goal amount in mind (which I think is a healthy number), but I'd like to compare to see if I'm too high, too low, or in the normal range. TIA.

71 lbs, delivered 8lb babies at 38w5d.

amygdala · June 2009

gained 45 lbs., delivered 35w6d, babies weighed 5 lbs. 3 oz. & 4 lbs. 9 oz.

no NICU time for either?

Shamrock2003 · June 2009

gained 50lbs, delivered at 36w,6d - 5lbs,14oz and 5lbs,16oz

I lost 40lbs in the first week after delivery so that was all baby, fluid

My OB had no problem telling me that I needed to gain at least 40lbs for twins but 50lbs would be better....he liked that I gained at least a pound per week.

36 lbs at 27 wks but I had pre-eclampsia and had SO much water weight. I'd already lost 20lbs 2 days after delivery.

nbjenni · June 2009

35lbs, delivered at 36w4d. My girls were IUGR so they were 3lbs 12oz and 3lbs 13oz.

meldoo2002 · June 2009

I had gained 45lbs. the week before I delivered them so I'm thinking I was probably more like 50lbs. at delivery. I delivered at 30w3d and they were 3lbs.7oz. and 3lbs.13oz.

MNheidi · June 2009

I only gained 40lbs and delivered at 36w6d.

baby X 2! · June 2009

I gained 38 lbs. and delivered @ 35w. 1d. each baby weighed 5lbs. 6oz. no NICU time, and lost 28lbs. before leaving the hospital 4 days after delivery.

MattresMuffin69 · June 2009

I gained 74 lbs. I delivered at 36w6d and babies were 6lbs 13ozs & 5lbs 15 ozs. I've lost 45lbs. so far 2 weeks out.

cherryvixen · June 2009

I gained 20 lbs, a good part of which was water weight at the end from pre-e. I am not the norm though, because I was very overweight to begin with and I had severe morning sickness which made caused me to struggle to eat right up to the very end in spite of taking Zofran. I delivered at 37 weeks and the girls were 4 lbs 3 oz and 5lbs. 2 weeks aftering delivering I was 20 lbs below my pre-pg weight.

Melin086 · June 2009

I gained 39 pounds and delivered at 36w2d. My boys were 4 lbs 6 oz and 5 lbs 9 oz. Kaden who was 4 lbs 6 oz needed 24 hours in NICU due to his low weight. Both boys were discharged when I was discharged.

UrAnIdiot · June 2009

46 lbs, delivered at 32w so i was on track to gain 50+ had i gone to term. i am pretty sure i left the hospital at least 20 lbs lighter, 2 days pp!

macchiatto · June 2009

I gained 54 lbs and delivered at 37w6d. The boys were 6.10 and 6.7. Dr. Luke recommends gaining 40-56 lbs for a twin pregnancy if you start out normal weight. She has detailed guidelines with how many lbs/wk to gain at what point in pregnancy in her book, When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets or Quads. I found it very helpful.

JustaKidAtHeart · June 2009

I gained 30 lbs delivered at 36 weeks and left the hospital 34 lbs lighter than when I went in. My boys were 5 4 and 5 9. BUT I have put on some more weight now.

Trixie6717 · June 2009

I haven't had mine yet, but at my last appt at 33w, 2d I had gained 24 pounds and the boys measured 5lb. and 5lb. 2 oz.

jlc071903 · June 2009

I gained 27 and my girls were born at 30 weeks....I HAD gained 35, but I lost some weight while I was in the hospital (admitted at 21.5 weeks for a rescue cerclage and PTL) (10 pounds) and in the 9 1/2 weeks that I was on BR I only gained 2 pounds back.

jlc071903 · June 2009

My OB wanted me to gain between 35-50 for my entire pregnancy.

Leah5185 · June 2009

I gained a lot! I told her not to tell me anymore after 50 lbs!

I gained 75 lbs total, delivered 36 wks 4.6 lb and 5.3 lb

I lost 30 in the hospital before we left and all but 15 in the next 6 months. ?

Mrs.BKP · June 2009

Somewhere around 60 when I delivered at 38w2d. A TON of it was water and I was down 50 in 7 days and the other 10 by my official due date. I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as the babies are growing.

s.s.girl · June 2009

32lbs and I delivered at 32w1d

lutzcowgirlie · June 2009

Stopped counting when I passed 60 lbs. I delivered at 37 w 5 d. Babies were 7lbs 6oz and 7lbs 8oz.

bunny731 · June 2009

60-65lbs at 39w+

The babies were 6lb13oz each. Lost all the weight.

Temp6313048411121614 · June 2009

Ok so my goal of 50 or a few pounds less is reasonable then? I figured I gained 25 with my DS, so 2 babies, twice the weight.

jooliagoolia2 · June 2009

I'm "that" girl who only gained 11 lbs and delivered 37 week healthy 5.8lb babies. ?Totally not the norm

?I was pretty sick for the first half of my pregnancy.

tnkrbl21 · June 2009

I gained 60 (but didnt ask for the finally tally until my one week follow up appt - I just didnt want to know the truth while I was still pg).

My boys were 5lbs 7oz and 5lbs 14oz and were born at 35wk3d. I lost 30 lbs in the first week alone and so far I'm down 40.

KimberlyAGD · June 2009

I gained 27 lbs and my babies were born at 35w5d at 5lbs 5 oz and 5lbs 4 oz.

AlpacaBunny · June 2009

Rose.9.6.03 · June 2009

I gained 42 lbs. and delivered at 36w5d. My girls were 5,11 and 5,7. I lost all of the weight within a month of delivery - and I've never been one to lose weight easily.

gleneden_beach · June 2009

I gained 40 pounds. I delivered at 37 weeks and the girls were over 7 pounds each. I had lost all the weight by my 6 week postpartum visit.

Jem04 · June 2009

I gained 55 pounds, and my boys were 6 lbs and 7 lbs 4 oz, delivered at 38 wks, no NICU

Rinnie · June 2009

According to my doctor I gained no weight and at my last visit before delivery I was actually down a pound.

I delivered my boys at 38 weeks exactly. They weighted 6 lbs 9 oz and 7 lb 9 oz.

As of today I am down 24 pounds pre-pregnancy.

I threw up every morning the entire pregnancy - sometimes several times a day. I am also overweight to start.

But I was told going in at 12 weeks when we found out it was twins to only gain 10-15 pounds.
