If you are a twin or if you have twin siblings, how much did y'all /they weigh at birth?
My sister was 5 lb 4 oz and I was 4 lb 3 oz. We were born at 8 months. I'm the oldest.
-
Not me, but my di/di twins were born at 39-2 and were 6lb 12 oz and 5 lb 4 oz.
-
I was only 2 lbs 14 oz, my sister was 3 lbs 2 oz. We were 2 months early & mom didn't know she was having twins. We spent 2 months in the NICU.
-
@kentuckygirl: oh my gosh! that would be quite the surprise!
-
I don't remember the exact weight but my brothers were one month early and were about 4 lbs. each. @kentuckygirl: My mom found out she was having twins the day before she had them. I think the shock sent her into labor.
-
My brother and sister are twins!
My sister weighed almost 6 lbs (5 lbs 14 oz) and my brother weighed 5 lbs 4 oz.
They were both really good size, my mom had them at 37 or 38 weeks. Plus my mom is tiiiiny, shes 5'0" and was like 105-110 before getting pregnant with them!
She also gave bith naturally, with no pain meds.....she's a saint
-
@MrsBrewer: My DH is a twin too. He was over 8 pounds and his sister was over 7 pounds. Plus, they were a week overdue and his mom is very slim and petite. I couldn't imagine!
-
@MaisyMay: Wow!! That's seriously amazing! I don't think I've heard of twins that big before! That's awesome!
-
@MrsBrewer: Yeah, and it was the hottest summer on record that year, so she was hugely pregnant all summer as they were born at the end of September.
-
Mine were born at 35 weeks. One was 5 lbs 2 oz and the other was 4 lbs 13 oz.
-
We were born at 36 weeks and each over 6 pounds. My sisters twins were born at 36 weeks and one was upper 5 pounds and the other was 6 pounds. My sister in laws twins were about a pound each born at 30 weeks.
-
@MaisyMay: Whoa! So basically his mom was carrying an almost 16 lb. baby!
-
@mrsjazz: Yeah. It was crazy. I guess she couldn't drive after 6 months or something like that.
-
@brownie: That's a lot of twins in one family!
-
@MamaMoose: yeah my great aunts were twins too. My
Mom and sister didn't know they were having twins. -
@kentuckygirl: this is a lot like my sister and me. Our mom didn't know she was having twins and had us two months early. I was 3lbs 14oz and my sister was 4lbs 7oz.
-
A woman in my church choir had twins two weeks overdue...she said they were over 8 lbs each....crazytown! She kept telling me glazed donuts were her secret to growing big twins
-
My sister and I were born around 38w and were both 6lbs ?oz, my mom found out at 8months she was having twins
I know someone who delivered twins around 38w that were 10lbs+ and 9lbs+
-
@purrpletulips: oh my! I can't imagine being that woman carrying 19+ lbs of baby!
-
I don't remember the exact weight but both my twin brothers were over 7#, 2 weeks overdue, breech (and one posterior) and delivered vaginally with no epidural or pain medication. And she still went on to have two more kids.
My mother is a rock star.
-
I was 5 lb 8 oz and my twin brother was 6 lb 9 oz and we were not premature, but I'm not sure how close we were to our due date.
@FutureMrsMcK: That is pretty impressive!
-
@kentuckygirl: wow my friend has the exact same story as you. For a second i thought maybe you were here!!! They were Born 8 weeks early, mom didn't know there were twins in there til she came out. They were 3 lbs. She has severe scoliosis because she was so smooshed in there!
-
My sisters were around 6lbs each, born I think 38 weeks? Which I thought was pretty impressive, until this thread. Lol!
-
