"You are so tiny for carrying twins!"- duplicate ignore

I've been hearing this a lot. I'm coming up on 18 weeks, should I be ginormous? Its starting to make me worry. So far I've gained only 5 lbs and my doc says gain more, but she wasn't that concerned. We saw the babies about two weeks ago and they seemed fine, now i can't wait for the ultrasound with the mfm to make sure all is ok. Anyone hear this phrase much?

My 'baby belly' went from barely there to huge like over night. It was so weird! They are having a growth spurt or something. This happened at about 18 weeks .. and they just keep growing. I feel massive!!! Yours will get 'big' when you need to. I have only gained 2 lbs. Well according to my last ob visit which was almost 2 weeks ago. At that same visit I was measuring 25 weeks. (tape measure thingy)  I will actually be 21 weeks on sunday.

i delivered at 35w5d and gaine 19-20.  started at 126 at 5'7.  babies were 4lbs10oz and 5lb9oz at birth which were decent sizes for their gestations.

the whole weight thing with twins is different for everyone.  i did go from not showing at 14 weeks to really showing at 16 weeks...it was weird.
