Losing Weight?

When i found out it was twins, i was sure i was going to gain an obscene amount of weight, but i never did. Eating has been easier in the 3rd trimester than in the others, but with the boys pushing on my stomach, meals have had to be spaced out more. In any case, the babies are between 5-6 pounds already, and im all tummy. But i appear to be losing weight in the rest of my body no matter how much food i cram into it. Even my bra has started to get too big in the shoulders and around the sides. i thought this was when i was supposed to gain the most weight?????

Have you been to the doctor's recently? Have they showed any concern with this? I'm sure it'll be fine since you are already 36 weeks, but if you are worried, maybe you can give them a call. :hug:

 

I agree with calling the doctor. However, one of the books I read on twin pregnancy stated that it was important to gain the weight up front because in 3rd trimester, it gets harder to eat and you won't gain as fast during that time. Good luck, you seem to have a short period to go.

 

Im a very petite person (5'2' and 105). I gained 45 pounds with my twins and I was all belly as well. When I look back at photos my arms/legs/face/neck were stick thin. I had 2 very healthy babies!
Talk to your doctor but really you're probably fine!

I am 25w6days and I have been at a steady weight for the last month. The doctor seems to be a little concerned about it but I can't let it stress me out (already have too much with being on bed rest and all) anyways, if the babies are gaining weight, which mine are, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

 

No, I think you're ok. I've only gained 2 lbs in the 3rd trimester... 2 lbs in the past 2 weeks to be exact. The Dr. said it's ok because the babies are gaining most of the weight while I'm losing it...

Is your belly growing? That will be a big indicator if the babies aren't gaining weight

 

My weight has been steady for the last 2 weeks and I've been eating like crazy. We'll see when I go Wednesday if there is a change.....

 

how has your last growth scans compared to ones from the past? Do they still do them? : :huh:

 

I lost weight on week but the girls gained. I was over weight to begin with.
