I've been measuring at 38 for the past 3 or so weeks i think. I wouldn't be concerned other than my DD is measuring kind of small for her age with a tummy circumferance thats below the 2% range.

Are (or were) any of you ladies "small" for twins? My OB doesn't seem concerned...I'm gaining weight (I've gained 52 so fair, and just hit the 200lbs marker last week)....but I dunno, i thought i'd be a lot bigger by now :(

    This is why you will ONLY see a side view, and the reason I am wearing black pants. I think my thighs are pregnant with their own set of twins.

    I'm actually really right in line with you, even less weight gain.  I'm 31 1/2 weeks (also with twins) and I think my total weight gain is only 38 lbs or so?  I was disappointed that I didn't gain any weight as of my last appt - that was after a 2 week period.  My doctor seems fine with it though.

    I did gain just over 20 lbs in the first 20 weeks, which is the more important part per Dr. Luke at least.  That early weight gain is what helps increase gestation.  If you're really worried, try to up your calories - add a daily protein shake or something - which is what I'm trying to do.

    You look great!

    I was told constantly that I was tiny for twins.

    Here's my 33 week picture:

    https://dishbaby.blogspot.com/2010/01/33w3d.html

    I gained a total of 43 pounds over my pregnancy.


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

    everyone carries differently.  this was me at 33 weeks and i dont think i ever got larger (babies came at 35 weeks, were both over 5 pounds and no needed no nicu).   dont stress it!

    I only gained 31 pounds and the boys were more spread out so I didn't have a cute bump.  You look just like you're supposed to!  By the time you give birth, you'll be complaining about how big you are.  :)

    I think you look great.  I'm only 5'2" but I gained a total of 51lbs when I was pg (topping out at 181lbs) and the dr. was very happy with my weight gain.  I delivered 2 healthy babies at 37 weeks. 

    As long as you are eating healthy and feel good don't worry about the belly or the numbers - your babies are getting what they need :)

    I think you look great! I only gained 30 lbs. I didn't gain much at all the last couple of weeks, but I think you will gain more for at least 2-3 weeks. My OB said I just ran out of room! My girls were very small, but they were fully developed. Lily had to spend a week in the NICU per protocol since she was under 4 lbs, but she was doing so well that we actually brought her home still under 4 lbs.

    Don't worry. Like PP said. everyone carries differently. My bumb is even a bit smaller than yours.

    I'm at 31 weeks and have the same concern. Thanks for posting this, it's nice to see the other mommas who were about the same size who had healthy kids.

    You look fab, btw
