Its normal to not gained extra weight in twin pregnancy?

Question

I am 11wks today,and i have only gained 1-2 pound maybe.  Its not that i am not eating. I am eating as usuall,just adding some extra fruits and some extra fluids,the rest its pretty same as before i was pregnant.(just taking more care of what i am eating). I am 5'8.5 and 127.8 pounds. I used to be skinny always (its my metabolism i guess cuz i always eat a lot and healthy). Should i need to gain weight for my babies to be safe? Even if i not gain to much weight are my babies fine? I am sorry for this questions. I am first time mom so my concerns are all over the place,especialy with twins.

Answer

I don’t know if it’s normal, but I’m 29 weeks and have not really gained any weight.  I have maintained between 5-10 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight and even this last week I lost weight.  I am already obese so I’m not complaining, but I haven’t changed my eating that much.  Babies are growing though and my doctors haven’t been concerned.  So I’m just going with it.

Answer

I gained a total of 15lbs with my twin pregnancy and 2 weeks after delivery I was down 40lbs. I wouldn’t worry too much about gaining weight as long as the babies are growing with each scan.

Answer

I didn’t gain weight with my twins till week 14/15. I am 5’7 and was around 128lbs. I am now 31 weeks and 28lbs up 😂

Answer

It probably depends who you ask, but you are generally supposed to gain more weight with multiples. If you’ve ever seen the “Expecting twins, triplets and quads” book, it goes through in detail what you should be eating, how much weight you should gain etc, and it increases based on how many babies you’re having. I found that my doctor didn’t really care though, as long as my babies were growing well. I found that I gained most of my weight towards the end anyway.
