good morning!!

bit of a little moan and few questions!!!

i have always been ok with the thought of putting on wieght when preg, even then i found out i was preg with twins, well i thought i was ok!!!

in the last couple of weeks i have been getting moments where i really feel so huge. i do tell myself its all for my beautiful twinnies and its not like i would not eat etc, but i think i am struggling to come round the idea of all this weight gain.

i have put on 17lbs and i am nearly 23 weeks. most of my friends who have had babies recently put on like so little weight, you could only tell they were preg at 7 months or so! i think thats the problem, everyone around me how has been preg or is preg just hasnt really put on any weight.

my SIL, is 6 weeks behind me, with a singleton and has lost 10lbs in the her 1st tri and still not put on any weight. my hubbies family always compare us which doenst help and i feel so huge next to her!

i wish i didnt have feelings like this! bcos i love my babies sooo much! and i feel bad i have these thoughts!!!

anyways i am just feeling abit big and scared for my weight gain, but i still eat like i did pre preg, well more to be honest! and i do eat quite alot!

my pre preg weight was 56kg-57kg and i am 5ft 5 or 5ft 6!

i am sorry for this little rant!!!! :-/

how much weight have you all put on so far (sorry a bit of a personal Q) or put on during your pregnancy? how long did it take you to lose it?

hope your all ok!!!!!! big hug to you and the little ones!!!!!

ive attached a pic from this morning of me and my twin bump!

What are you worrying about!! From the pic you have posted you look amazing! Everyone's bodies are different so you can't really compare your body to anyone else's. Also you are carrying 2 babies and twice as much fluid as your sil, not sure what type your pregnancy is but could also have 2 placentas!
When I gave birth to mine I lost nearlly all my weight in an instant with 12lb of babies then the placentas and water. So try not to worry you look brilliant and have a lovely perfect bump.

awwww thanks so much, honestly! they are not sharing a placenta so they each have one, i know what you mean about everyone beign different!! most days i am ok with my weight gain its just others (like today when when i weighed myself!) i felt such a weird fat feeling!!! but i love my twinnies sooo much!!!!!!

congrats on yours hun!!! hope you and the twins are ok! your pic on the avatar is sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much for your reply hun!

big hugs

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <3

omg you look stunning!!

Here is my 22+1 & 22+6 week bump. This is my second pregnancy though so maybe a little bit bigger.

one thing I have found out is that you cannot compare a multiple pregnancy with a singleton one as they are just so different.

I have put on about 4 & half stone up to now & I am 34 weeks tomorrow. My babies currently weigh about 5 1/2lb each though.

To be honest I really don't mind putting on a lot of weight... I know it's all for the babies... plus I have been SO hungry! This post is probably full of errors as currently typing one handed as the other is stuffing my face full of crumpets!

I've put on about 40 lbs so far. I haven't been hungry and haven't been eating much more than normal. I eat frequently, but not a lot because I get too full. The vast majority of my weight gain is in my belly... my face, legs, butt aren't much bigger at all. I just think everyone's different. As long as you know you are eating somewhat healthy, don't stress.

As the other ladies have said, every pregnancy is different. That's especially true with a twin pregnancy!! I know it's hard not to freak out about the weight gain. I have to remind myself that I'm doing what's best for my babies and that I'll probably lose the weight much faster than my friends with singletons since I'll be so busy!!

I think you look great, and 17 pounds at 23 weeks is really good! I'm 30 weeks today and have gained a total of 32 pounds. I've attached my most recent bump shot. Similar to Red Mom, I don't eat a lot (since there is no room), but I do try to eat frequently. I've actually had people tell me it looks like I've lost weight in my face, so I know it's mostly going to my belly (and butt!!)

dont worry, two weeks after i had the twins i was back to my pre pregnancy weight, i put on a total of 2 stone (maybe a bit more by the end as i was hospitalised for 2 weeks). the biggest problem i have is now putting on weight as im eating rubbish to keep my energy levels up.
