Weight Gain

I am 12+5 with di/di twins. I had read online that it was very important with twins to gain weight in the first half of pregnancy. Mainly because the further along you get the less room there is for them to grow. Is this right? I've lost 14 lbs so far & cannot seem to gain for amything. When I went to the doctor last week she kind of brushed it off. She said the twins looked fine though, no specifics. Should I be more concerned with my weight gain?

I appreciate the input ladies! With my previous pregnancies I did not gain until I was 20 weeks or so and my babies always looked fine. But they were singletons so I thought it would be different with twins. Maybe not, lol. Thanks for the congrats! Happy pregnancies ladies :)

I think everyone gains/loses at a different pace. I didn’t gain weight until almost the third trimester. Babies are measuring 5+lbs at 34 weeks. I have put on about 20lbs. I don’t think it matters how much you gain...it’s how the babies are looking. I’ve learned every woman’s body is different and reacts differently to pregnancy. Btw: congrats on twins!

I think it also depends on where you start... if you're 105 lbs and not gaining, that's a lot different than being 180 and not gaining.

I am 30 weeks and just now back to my pre-pregnancy weight(most of which I am contributing to 7 lbs worth of twins and two pounds worth of amniotic fluids) My SIL has gotten into me a couple of times because you are *supposed* to gain 50 pounds with twins. But I have at most 7 weeks left and there is no way I’m gaining 7 lbs a week...she has told me that I’ll be gaining a bunch now since I’m so ‘behind’ but I’m like nah, probably not. Doctors aren’t concerned at all. Don’t let it stress you.

I didn't start gaining until 20 weeks. My doc had no issues with it. In the beginning, when you may not feel so hot, it's hard to keep up with both your needs and the babies needs calorically. Once you get farther along, appetite gets better and you get less active, in my experience at least.

I lost 10lb in my first trimester and by 34 weeks I was the size of a house!

I did not start gaining weight till my second trimester. Everyone is different, some people loose weight during the first trimester and some people don't gain much of anything at all. Now I have gained almost 20 lbs by 26 weeks.

Short Luteal Phase?

I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
