I feel teeny compared to what I think I should be. (21 weeks w/ twin boys) I have only been able to gain 5 pounds so far and people at work are just now realizing that I'm even pregnant. They probably wouldn't have known either but I spread the word around. This is my second pregnancy and the twins measure 13 and 14 oz each, so they are slightly up on their growth, but I just am not sure what is going on. Ha, at my church the pastor's wife is 2 weeks behind me with her first and she is already past me in tummy size. Maybe I should just be thankful???

I am also 21 weeks (22 on Wed) with twin boys and I am fairly small, too. I have gained 12 lbs overall (give or take) and my boys were measuring 14 and 19 oz last week. I just started to get a recognizeable belly over the past two weeks. The only thing I can say is that you don't need to worry about it as long as the babies are healthy. Plus, if you are a little overweight to begin with, sometimes it doesn't seems like the bump gets as big in the early days. I am fairly thin, but it still looks like someone is holding a little melon over my belly! I vote that you be thankful and not worry about it...I bet the belly will be there before you know it!

I'm 25 weeks with twin boys and I am huge. So be thankful. Some of my friends are saying I'm as big as they were at 9 months. My boys measured 1lb 12oz and 1lb 13oz. last week. This is my second pregnancy and I popped pretty early on, but now there is no mistaking I'm pregnant. When ppl ask how far along I am there jaws drop and then I say I'm having twins and they can usually pick their jaws up off the floor. I lost 15lbs in the first tri but I could afford to lose the weight and now I'm all belly and still down a couple of lbs. from where I started. Trust me, before you know it you will be missing the sight of your feet.
