Weight gain?

ktsbella

With DS I gained about 15-20 lbs total.  This time around we didn't know about twins until nearly 20 weeks, but still, to-date I have only gained 20 lbs.(even though in my belly pic it looks like waaay more)  I lost 10-15 in the beginning from m/s.  Babies seem to be growing fine, but the weight guidelines from Dr. Luke kind of have me concerned.

How much weight did you gain total?  Would you be worried if you were me?

I wouldn't worry about a number as long as the babies are gaining weight fine.  I gained 45lbs and both my babies were 3lbs and I have another friend who gained 47lbs and she delivered 6lbs babies.

I only gained 25lbs. My girls were 6lbs 9oz and 6lbs 7oz. If you are worried I would ask your doctor. I was not worried because my girls were growing just fine. Plus the doctor gave me a limit of 35lbs. to gain. I was 15 pounds overweight to start. I could have never followed Dr. Luke's guidlines. I was not able to eat that much.

I have gained 60 lbs so far. I was probably a few lbs underweight when I got pg (not sure, I don't pay attention to that stuff). I get a new growth scan tomorrow but last week, my girls were 5lbs and 4.5lbs. My dr doesnt not seemed concerned!

I've gained 47 lbs so far, but I was small to begin with.  And at least 5 of those lbs are water weight.  My feet, ankles and calves are so swollen!

I gained 47 pounds and delivered at exactly 37 weeks--the boys were both 6lbs 8oz.  I think your doctor will let you know if they are concerned about your weight--they are monitoring their growth and should give you guidelines to help you gain more if they aren't liking their growth progress.  I say don't worry about it!

I gained 24 lbs total.  My children were born at 38w3d and were 6lbs 7oz and 6lbs 7oz.  I wouldn't be worried.  Especially if your Dr isn't concerned.

So far I've gained about 29 pounds but it wasn't until recently that I really "caught up" to the guidelines.  My doctor was never concerned because I gained pretty consistently and both babies are right on target.  I feel like I am gaining a ton now but I know it's just that my feet and ankles are swollen from the heat
