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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
After a PCOS dx, 18 months of trying, 3 rounds of clomid and 2 follistim IUIs our babies are here!
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
