I’ve lost 20lbs is that normal?

Question

I am about 13 weeks with twins and I’ve lost 20lbs since the start of this. I feel it’s a lot I know I had morning sickness but that was fixed after one week and I was back to eating normal but still lost more weight. I thought I was suppose to gain weight or stay close to the same but not lose this much.

Answer

I hope your dr knows about your weight loss, and hopefully you aren’t dehydrated

Answer

I’m 14 weeks with twins and have lost 15. My doctor said the babies are healthy so she just wants me to stay hydrated. She said don’t worry, the weight gain will come 😜

Answer

I highly recommend reading the book “when you’re expecting twins, triplets or quads” by Barbara Luke. It’s all medically evidence based information about multiples/multiple pregnancies. There are charts for starting height and weight, how to gauge your gain (not just in lbs) and what healthy gain is for multiples...which is totally different than singletons

Answer

It depends how much you weighed before... I’m underweight and I lost 8 lbs. My doctor said it was fine, but put me on nausea medication to help me eat a little more

Answer

Even if you were overweight to begin with, 20lbs in 13 weeks is a lot of weight loss. Speak with your doctor to make sure that is a healthy rate of weight loss for you. 
You may need to meet with a dietician to make sure you are getting adequate nutrition for you and babies.

Answer

Perfectly normal! I lost 20lbs with both my girls & gained exactly 20lbs back but not until the end. I’m currently almost 16 weeks and I’ve lost 16lbs so far. 💜
