1 twin bigger then the other

I'm 21 weeks today@ my apt I found out 1 twin is 15% bigger then the other.  Any other moms out there experienced this w twin pregnancy? I was told 20% is when they worry but I still have so long to go.

It's perfectly normal.  My friend had identical twin girls and one was always bigger than the other. I wouldn't worry yourself too much about it since it's a common thing.

If the measurements are off with women who have 1 baby I could only imagine how off it they are with women carrying two babies. Babies sometimes have growth spurts and no two babies are completely the same, even twins cause then you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. I say don't worry about it for now.
