Thanks for the info thetwins14 yea i was feeling sick throughout the day but rarely throw up so my doctor gave me some nausea pills. But that made me constipated xp so im eating more apples and greens and took colace last night success this morning lol i feel so much better though thanks alliestwins. Yea this app says im underweight thats why i was curious gained about 4 pounds so far about week 9 now couple days from it with my starting weigh being 120. I think this sounds crazy but can you take to many vitamins? Like i have my sickness pills, the colace, prenatal vitimins, folic acid vitamins, and dha vitimins i feel like its too much but its all ok when pregnant so maybe im just over thinking it? My doctor didnt say anything about not lifting more than 15 pounds or not having sex so should i wait i go back in on the 20th to talk to him or what do you think? I havent had any spotting or pain but yea just want to make sure they are safe because not sure if one of them is where yours is or not, not sure how to tell by the ultrasound one is definitely one my left side but the second one is making me nervous.

I am already showing but my stomach was pretty flat before I got pregnant. Also I have a daughter already. Every twin pregnancy is different some woman find it easy other find it hard. Weight gain depends on you pre pregnancy weight. My limit is 40lb but i only weighed 116 before so they want expect me to put on more weight also. I already put on 12 lb all in my boobs. 25 lb is typical weight gain for a singleton and 30-45 lb for twins depending on your size. Your ob will help you figure it out. Ask as many questions as you like. I am a midwife (when not pregnant with twins lol) so i am used to questions. For me Twin A has its placenta over my cervix so I am stuck at home on modified bed rest and frankly bord and missing my patients.

I just had my boys yesterday!!!!! But I started showing around 16 weeks and I gained 43lbs carried until 37 weeks and had to be induced because they were getting so big they were starting to grow wrong because they didn't have the room. I had horrible morning sickness every day until around 30 weeks and then I developed bad constipation but other then that we had no issues and everyone is perfectly healthy and we all get to go home tomorrow. Its not that difficult its just like having one baby that's a little needy. Good luck momma!!!! Twins are a blessing and you're going to love everything about it.

Ok thanks for the info when did you start showing? What do you think would be a healthy weight gain in this situation? If im not asking to much that is. Ive been looking a lot up but new questions everyday right xp.
