    I dont know how big I actually got by the end but I do remember when I was 3 months along I was bigger than my friend who was 6 months along with a singleton...we were cracking up!

    I didn't pay much attention to my measurements or weight gain, but my first real hint that I may have been gestating more than one was when I had a noticeable bump by 9 weeks! I remember thinking that wasn't normal. ;)

    I don't remember throughout (although I know I was always large), but at 30 weeks I measured full-term. I remember that distinctly!

    And how much weight did you all gain? I feel like I'm retaining a lot of water as well...

    I gained about 70 total with my twin pregnancy and about 60 with my singleton.

    That makes me feel better... How long did it take for u to lose the weight? I am in my 30s so I hope it won't be too hard!

    I have no idea how much weight I gained with either of my pregnancies. With my twins, I stopped paying attention after I cracked 200 lbs and with my singleton I declined to be weighed at all. I had lost all of my extra weight from both pregnancies around the time my youngest was 18 months. But I wasn't really trying that hard. ;)

    About a year I'd say...to lose it all-now I'm not even close to pre-pregnancy weight but I'm also a few years older.  I eat decent and exercise and feel comfortable and healthy so I'm not concerned with weight so much anymore.  :)
     
    But I WAS back then, so I know how you're feeling!  Dont worry, you'll lose it!

    I also remember measuring full-term at 30 weeks with the twins. I did not gain a lot of weight for twins, around 11-12 kg I think (the babies were full-term but on the small side), which I lost within a couple of months. But I lose weight easily through breastfeeding, it was the same with my current singleton.
     
    Don't worry too much about weight gain and measurements, there is a huge variety of what is normal. Eat healthy foods, stay active as long as you are allowed to and do the same after the birth.

    I am currently 24 weeks and feel like a walking water balloon lol. I gained about 35 lbs so far and have 12 weeks to go. HOW much bigger CAN I get? Seriously? Does one tend to get bigger earlier on, or later on?
    Jut curious what to expect....

    I am 22 weeks, have gained 7 lbs. so far (was overweight to begin with) and I am huge already. I actually had a lady the other day look at my stomach, then pat hers and say "Any day now, huh?"
