twin pregnancy and weight gain.?

Question

I am 19 weeks pregnant with twins and I haven't experienced any weight gain. At my check up three weeks ago I had lost a pound from my previous appointment. Everything I have seen says to gain between 35-45 pounds. I have an appointment on Tuesday and I definately plan to talk to my doctor about it. But I was wondering if any of you have had twins and could share your experience.

Answer 1

i have Friend who was pregnant with twin i remember she told me she suddenly gained 12 Pound on her 16 weeks of pregnancy and and then she gained more and more !
does your belly show that you are pregnant or not.you should be consider it, if you want to have healthy babies.
do not worry every thing is going to be all right .take care of your self.and eat more healthy food.

Answer 2

I had twins and lost a lot of weight in the beginning of the pregnancy and then held steady for a few visits. At that time I was also rarely hungry and had no appetite. When I talked to the doctor about it at around 24 weeks, he was not very concerned, but gave me "permission" to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. The weight gain recommendations that most sources have are so general that it is just better to ask your doctor about your individual situation.

Answer 3

I gained 40 pounds with my twins, they were delivered at 7 months...I gained weight fast but I read books about people carrying twins who only ended up gaining 20 pounds all and all and generally people don't start gaining a lot of wieght till the fourth or fifth month. If the people at the check up weren't concerned about it I don't think you shouldn't be you may just be one of those lucky people who don't gain that much weight....lucky you!

Answer 4

I wouldn't worry about it yet. Talk to the dr about it then. I didn't gain weigh in my early pregnancy. It depends on your prepregnancy weight, too. :)
