Is it normal to have hardly gained weight at 16 weeks with twins?

Question

I have only gained 2 lbs, and I’m eating a lot. I started out at 150 and I’m 5’3”. Had I eaten like this before I was pregnant I would have gained a lot more- I’m so confused.

Answer

My doctor said they dont really worry about the mother’s weight anymore as long as the babies are measuring ok.

Answer

I’m 32 tomorrow and only gained 3lbs 🤷🏻‍♀️ babies are both weighing right on track. Everyone’s different don’t compare yourself, trust me.

Answer

I’m 15w3d and have lost 25 pounds due to being so sick, and still haven’t gained anything back. This is something I’ve worried about a lotttt but my doctor continues to reassure me that the babies look great and are getting everything they need and that I shouldn’t worry.

Answer

I lost 8lbs up until I hit 24 weeks & I gained my first pound!!! I weigh myself at every ultrasound using the same hospital scales, so I'll weigh myself again in around two weeks when I'll be 28 weeks. Every woman and pregnancy is different, some gain and some don't, if your midwife/doctor aren't worried about it then I wouldn't be either! ☺️

Answer

I lost almost 10 lbs the first few months. At about 27 weeks I had only gained 16 and my doctor told me to gain more. 2 weeks later I had only gained another lb. she talked to me again about eating more protein and at my next appointment I had gained 3 lbs! She was happier with that.

Answer

I’m in the same boat. Only have gained 2.2 lbs. I read somewhere, however, that it is recommended to have gained 25 lbs by 20 weeks! Eek! Anyone else worried about achieving this weight gain?

Answer

not everyone gains a ton of weight, some people loose a bit in the beginning and gain later! all depends on the person. as long as you are eating right you have nothing to worry about! :)

Answer

Same here. At 15w4d I only gained 1kg.
I’m not worried: it’s spring nearly summer, usually I lose some weight at that time.
