    You're funny! That was ME!

    I thought it was fine and I liked it cuz when I had them at 35 weeks, they were six lbs each!

    Bad news is, I was 90 lbs over! Ha!

    You're fine. I lost a little over 40 of it by the time I left the hospital!

    Thats great!! A pound a week is ideal for twins, but I found the last few months of pregnancy it was very hard to eat. So towards the end I was so glad I had packed on a few extra pounds in the beginning.
    Good Luck :)

    The more you gain, the more they gain. The bigger they are, the stronger they are. The stronger they are, the more likely they are to not need the NICU & be able to breastfeed. It's a good thing! Congrats!

    If your OB is not concerned I would not worry about it. I really feel that everyone's body gains what they need for that pregnancy, everyone is so different. I think it sounds fine. :) Plus if you have not had any morning sickness you will gain more than someone who did.

    And here I am all concerned because I'm not gaining weight! I went in for an appointment at 14.5 weeks and the doctor told me they wanted me to gain some weight and my weight had not changed at all, in either direction, since the last appointment 4 weeks prior.

    Guess we're all a little different! lol. I can't think of things to eat half the time that sound good, so I think that gets in the way of eating as often as I should.
