    Well I gained around 25-30 lbs, can't remember exactly. I was throwing up the entire pregnancy so I didn't really start gaining until the end when I developed pre-e.
    As far as the twin-skin.....yes it's true, and horrible. But that being said, I would do it all over again~ twinskin or not.
    It's not that big of a deal, but I do miss my bikini days, if it was just stretch marks I wouldn't care, but the blob of skin is a different story.
    When we are sure we are done having kids I'm going in for a tuck. [​IMG] [​IMG]
    It's all worth it, don't worry- you might not even get it that bad either, I measured almost 60 weeks when the girls were born and I'm 5'6, so that probably has something to do with it also.
    Good luck with those babies! P [​IMG]

    My peri recommended 35-45. I gained 42 and delivered at 31 weeks. But I was mega dosing protein trying to pack on weight on the babies since I knew I'd go early.

    I have gained about 22lbs and I am 30wks. I had gained almost 15 in the first trimester (no ms here) and haven't gained much since. I weighed about 130lbs. pre-pregnancy. I can't seem to put any weight on but the babies are doing well and no one is concerned - execept me.
    I have always been an eater so I guess my body is just used to eating large quantities of food [​IMG].

    I was thin pre-pregnancy and I gained 75 pounds total! I had gained 30 pounds in my first trimester alone. Now the boys are almost 9 months and I've lost all but 12. I'm still working on it! My tummy is flattening out over time and I have a little bit of "wrinkly" skin, but it's not too bad at all.

    I was thin prepregnancy and I gained 46 pounds. I also had GD so once I was on that diet my weight gain pretty much stopped altogether. I've lost all my weight and I don't have twin skin! When I'm standing my belly looks totally normal other than I think it could use some toning. But if I bend over or something I do have some wrinkling, but I remember that with ds for a while and it seemed it went away. It's all worth it either way! Good luck!
