Hi. Please share your experience on is it more difficult to carry twins. How "big" u got and how do you feel. And if you had one child before how much harder it is to carry twins...

I'm currently pregnant with twin boys, they are 4&5 for me. Complicated pregnancy from the start. All my single pregnancies were smooth, worked full time up to 36 weeks with a physically demanding job. This time around, Dr took me off at 14 weeks for many high risk complications. I'm in the home stretch now at 34 weeks!

My first set of twins was bad I lost 30 poundsbbecause of hyperemisis and in the hospital once a week for dehydration and unfortunately had to deliver them at 27 weeks thankfully this time which I am having twins AGAIN has been so much better I am currently 7 weeks and a few days. I have always had difficult pregnancy even with my son but I just leave everything in God's hands and know that no matter how yucky I feel I am being blessed with a miracle I am hoping for a easier pregnancy this time but I know I can get through this no matter what good luck mommy

No other chuldren for me.  So, nothing to compare to.  I gained 29 lbs, carried to 36 wks 2 days. they spent no time in the NICU.   No issues.  No swelling no high blood pressure, no bed rest.  
I did walk very slow....lol...do to a large belly, and spent a lot of time standing in my friends pool to help take weight off my body...lol
I was 45 when I delivered.
