I am almost 24 weeks pregnant with twin girls on the way!! I have only gained about 17lbs to date and worried that I am going to have small babies.
I eat 3 meals a day, have not had many junk food cravings, and sometimes still get nauseaous.
How much are you suppose to gain with twins? When does most of the weight come on??

I wasn't given any guidelines whatsoever. I read the Dr. Luke book and talked to my OB about it, she thought it was insane
I was underweight to start with, so far I've gained 31 pounds in (almost) 28 weeks. Probably about a pound a week until I hit week 20 then I gained a little over a pound a week and lately the gain has slowed down.
The only change I made in my diet was I stopped counting calories, but I haven't been eating anything extra (i.e. meals/snacks).
my dr. reccomended 50lbs. I gained 56lbs.
started: 125lbs (5'2") - ended up 181lbs - but I lost weight in the 1st tri due to complications. I think I was 117 at 8 weeks?? My LOs were 5lbs 2oz and 6lbs 1 oz born at 27 weeks.
i was up 43 lbs as of last tuesday. i'm having them tomorrow.
FWIW, i gained 45 with my DD.
