How much weight had you gained at 20weeks?
And then how much full term?
Just out of interest :)

I had gained around 17lbs at 20wks & gained 35lbs at birth at 37+3 with di/di twins.

I'm tall so I never really felt that huge & I lost the weight fairly quickly afterwards which was good!

Thanks for replying penny! I'm 20 weeks Monday and have put on about 15lbs so far. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't putting on excessive weight as I have probably been having more treats than what I should 😂! Mine will be didi twins too

Don't know at 20 weeks but had gained 50lbs total with dcda twins who weighed 7.5 & 6.4 at 37+6. All off now though and more 😁
Don't worry by the end the babies will be squishing your stomach so much that you'll only have room for teeny tiny meals. Good luck! Twins are ace!

Oh my gosh! Yeah I suppose I'll have more on my mind then! Just worrying as I was already a size 14 and no body confidence so just wanted to be in the "normal" range, but having my 2 healthy girls is the main thing
