How much did your multiples weigh at birth?

I keep reading all these articles that say if I gain more, so will the babies... But, if you don't mind, how much did you gain and how much did your babies weigh? Just trying to see if there's any truth in real life to what I"m reading. I mean, on here, it seems like most people gain 20-50 lbs, whereas in these articles, the women are gaining 60+!!

Re: How much did your multiples weigh at birth?

My twins were 6.5 and 7.6. I only gained 10 lbs, but I was also heavier when I got pregnant. When you are heavier, the dr. doesn't want you to gain a lot of weight and the babies live off of your stored fat!

The best was that I walked out of the hospital weighing less then I did before I got pregnant!

I gained 40lbs and my boys were 5lbs 1 oz and 6lbs. They were born a month premature due to TTTS issues.

I lost all of the pregnancy weight except 7lbs by the end of the first month. The 7lbs took almost 9 months for me to get rid of. It probably had a lot to do with the ice cream habit I formed during pregnancy.
