When do you start gaining weight with twins?

Hello ladies 😊

Today I am 12+2 and I started off the new year losing 5 kg eating healthy and exercising, then mid-late January I had a positive pregnancy test and ever since I haven't put on any weight despite not eating as healthy as I was (I eat whatever isn't making me nauseous) and barely even moving from the sofa (because I've felt so ill) I have still eaten rather normal portions, but now that I'm 12+ weeks, I worry if I should be gaining at this point. Especially considering I'm carrying twins.

Twin mums, when did you start gaining with twins?

I'm 14+5 with twins and I put on quite a bit in the first 10 weeks as I was incredibly ravenous. I couldn't stop eating and my belly would just growl every so often as if I'd not been eating. I didn't have any sickness and usually quite healthy. Thankfully my appetite has returned to normal and I have put on anything since my booking in appt.
