18w2d just wondering if I'm growing on track? Only gained about 5 lbs and I need to gain 45. I have t really felt anything yet either 😐 kinda worries me a little bit. I am having TWINS

Question

Answer

I only gained 18# with my twins and they were born at 38 weeks as healthy as can be.

Answer

Normal weight gain for a normal BMI (which you look like you have) is between 25 and 35 lbs for the entire pregnancy. That said, by that point in my last pregnancy, I had still lost about ten pounds due to my morning sickness. It's easier to gain more weight towards the end too. As long as baby is growing fine, everything should be good.

Answer

How do you know you need to gain about 45 pounds? I'm sorry, don't get me wrong at all, but you don't look to skinny, you are just normal (as me) and I believe with such figure we don't need to gain that much, my aim is not to gain more than 30 pounds. I've gained about 15 (I'm 26 weeks) and I heard that it's quite normal not to gain even any weight before 20 weeks.

Answer

Like others suggested, I wouldn't focus on weight gain as long as babies are growing.  Just make sure to eat lots of protein!  I'm pregnant with mono/di girls and have ultrasounds every two weeks.  Until about 20 weeks, they were small, in the 8-10 th percentile.  My doc told me to eat more protein and every ultrasound since, they have Benn measuring in the 40th percentile.

Answer

My prenatal specialist told me 24pounds by 24weeks. According to him that is the best way to help ensure a healthy birth weight for my boys. 
But as to your question... You look great! Don't worry, eat healthy, and the doctor or midwife will alert you if you seem over or under weight! Just drink lots (and lots) of water and eat greens/protein! Also it's good to take folic acid and omega 3 supplements along with your prental vitamins. Good luck mommy!

Answer

I am 33 weeks and only pit on 17lbs and they want/ wanted me to put on closer to 35 by then end

Answer

I'm at 31 weeks and have gained about about 20 lbs total. My doctor hasn't said anything about my weight gain. As long as the ultrasounds show babies are gaining appropriately, I honk you're good ;)

Answer

I'm 35+4 and I've only gained 9 pounds. Dr isn't worried as both babies are growing perfectly. You don't NEED to gain 45 pounds. Just make sure you and babies are healthy. Congrats!

Answer

I'm 21 weeks and I've only gained 400grams which is only about 2 pounds. I wouldn't stress. I have a belly and my babies are growing. Just eat the right foods :)

Answer

I'm 20 weeks and have gained 10 lbs. And my twins are messing big! I was never told to gain a certain weight though. I think you look great and the babies will take what they need from you. In the mean time milkshakes and bacon, lucky you!!
