How much weight should I gain?

Question

Im 5'7 and weighed 110lbs before getting pregnant with the twins, now im 27.5 weeks pregnant and weigh 155 as of yesterday. My doctor says i am gaining well but i feel i have gained way to much in a short period of time. Any input would be great

Answer

I am 5'7 and started at 120lbs. I am now 14+3 and up 6-7lbs.

With my singletons i gained 25lbs and 29lbs.

My OB said he wanted me to gain 50lbs. this time.

Answer

I topped out at 150 with my singletons and was able to loose it all,and then some after their births. I still have at most 10 weeks left with these guys i cant imagine how much more i will gain in those 10 weeks. My doctor seems to be happy with my weight gain both babies are perfectly healthy it just seems like alot of weight in a short period of time.

Answer

I am 5'7 and was 152 at the start with a singleton. I worked out regularly in high impact aerobic classes. I gained 39 pounds. Quicker after about 20 weeks I think. My dr was never concerned about it. With twins you may gain more. After the birth on June 4 I am back to 155 which surprised me. As I started to gain during my pregnancy I knew it was for the health of my baby. If you are very concerned ask your doctor about it.
