Was anyone overweight before they got PG with twins?

I was overweight to begin with before this PG and now at almost 18 weeks I am really having a hard time just walking around and breathing etc. I get exhausted so fast and so easily.

I know some if just b/c there are two babies but I think some of it is the extra weight. I guess Im wondering how bad it will get. If this extra weight is really gonna make things harder as I get nearer to the end?

TIA

I didn't find breathing/walking difficult until much later. That's not to say I wasn't exhausted. Which is probably the problem you are having. Try taking naps during the day. Your body is going through some wicked changes & sometimes it just needs alot more rest!

I found it difficult to breathe in the beginning. My doctor said it was due tothe increase bloood supply my body had to process. It got better int he second and beginnning of the third trimester.
