Twin Pregnancy:

Most doctors will advise you to gain about 37 to 54 pounds when you are pregnant with twins.However, if you were a little overweight before you became pregnant, your doctor may suggest you to gain a little lesser weight than others. Similarly, if you were underweight when you became pregnant, your doctor may advise you to gain a little more weight as compared to other moms who are pregnant with twins.
Gaining so much weight while you are pregnant may seem like a nightmare! Go ahead to know more about the weight breakup that makes perfect sense:

• Almost 10 to 12 pounds of the total weight you gain will be that of your babies.

• While you are pregnant, your body will produce a lot of extra blood to help your babies grow properly. It also adds up to the weight gain that you experience during pregnancy.

Your amniotic fluid will also account for your overall weight gain. Once your water breaks and your babies arrive, you will shed some extra pounds.
It is highly possible that once you deliver your babies, you will lose about 30 pounds in the next two to four weeks. That will leave you with a baggage of 12 to 15 extra pounds, which is similar to what a mother who gives birth to a single baby gains.
