Big Twins!

I am the proud Mom of boy/girl twins born December 9, 2003 at 38 weeks 6 days. My son weighed 8 lbs. 10 oz. and my daughter weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. I can relate!!!!!

For real!! My twins weighed about 15 pounds combined and were born at 39 weeks. What’s the big deal about 17 pounds? And I’m only 5′4″. Now the woman with the 27pounds, that is just crazy!!

Wow, Kathy — congratulations! To what do you attribute your babies’ healthy sizes?

My twin boys were born in Feb. at 38 weeks and 4 days. They were 8lbs. 2oz and 8lbs 12oz. Both 21.5 inches long. My fundal height measured at a whopping 53 weeks!

Wow! Congratulations! From a mother of preemie twins (32 weeks) who weighed about 5 1/2 lbs COMBINED I love hearing about healthy, happy twins!

My twin boys were born in OCT 2004 at 36 weeks and 2 days. They were 7lbs. 6oz and 6lbs 9oz. My fundal height measured at 52 weeks! And I thought I had big babies. Congratulations I know how hard it was on my body the 27 pounds i dont think i could do…i would have begged to have them delivered..lol….

my sister and i weighed about 15 plus pounds at birth. i was 8 lb 2 oz and my sis was 7 lb 6 oz. we broke the record at the hospital at the time.

now at 32 years old i am 6 ‘ 3 ” and 190 lb and she is 5 ‘ 7 ‘ and 160 lb.

my twins were born 8 1/2 and 8 3/4 pounds each im almost 5 9 but they ruined my body!

My mother gave birth to twins that weighed more then seventeen pounds. One weighed in at 8lb 13oz, the other 8lb-11oz.

My twins,Kimberly and Monica, born January 23, 1987 were One month premature weighing in at 8lbs 2 oz and 7lbs 1oz with a total of 41 inches in height. I was told that if I had gone full term of 40 weeks they would have easily been 10 and 11 pounds. Although they were early and twins with slight learning delays…they are both working on their Bachelors Degrees and on the Deans list. What a gift they are!

I carried my twins to 38 1/2 weeks, baby A weighed 9lbs and baby B weighed 7lbs 7ozs. I have big babies, with my singletons weighing 9lbs 8ozs which was my first baby, and my last baby weighed 11lbs 7ozs. I am 5′8″.

Wow! My twins were born two days before Christmas in 2003. They were a planned c-section at 38 weeks (cause I had a section for my 1st breech son). She weighed 6 lbs 3 oz & he weighed 5 lbs 15 oz. Never experienced labor in either pregnancies & all 3 were breech. Anyhow, I am 5′7-1/2″ with a somewhat small frame & was so uncomfortable that 9th month! Can’t imagine having carried any longer or bigger – augh! People thought my twins were good size! But these twins take the cake! My twins also walked & talked late but now at 4 1/2 are quite caught up & very smart!

In October 2007, I gave birth to twin boys that weighed 9lb 11oz and 8lb 5oz both 21 inches long. People were so shocked and had never heard of such tremendous twins. Obviously this is not so uncommon. Great job to all you ladies, I know it wasn’t easy carrying all that weight. My body is a mess though, any good advice or is a tummy tuck in my future????

I am due Dec. 2. So far my twins are measureing just as large as singletons measure. I pray that mine will be large like many of yours! It is scary to think about babies being under 6 lbs each. Congrats to you all!

I delivered twins by c-section on October 28, 2009. They were 10 lbs 5 oz and 7 lbs 4 oz. I am almost 6 ft but it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done to carry them to 37 weeks! I don’t think I realized how difficult and how huge I was until after things in my body started to get back to “normal”… If there will be such a thing now.

My two boys were born by c-section in Jan.99 and Tyler weighed in at 8lbs 5 1/2 oz and Josh was 8lbs 3 1/2 oz. I went 10 days overdue because everything was going so well and I was confident that my body would take care of them, I did not want to have a section just because I was having twins. I am 5′9″ and my 1st son was well over 9 1/2 lbs so I knew they would be bigger. They are now a strapping 125lbs at 10 years old. We grow em big up here in Canada…

I have 2 sets of twins. My boys came in at 7lbs 12oz and 6lbs 14oz. I thought that was big untill my girls came in at 9lbs and the other at 8lbs and 4oz.. I had them back to back.. I love my twins.. The boys are now 13 and girls are 10 what a blessing to have all mt childern..

I had fraternal twin sons 24 years ago that were 12 days overdue. They were born naturally, without anesthesia, the 2nd one being born breach. Their weights were (1st) 8 lbs. 13 1/2 oz., and (2nd) 9 lbs. 12 oz. The labor was only 1 hr. and 35 minutes long and both were healthy then and are still very healthy today. God takes care how he chooses.

My twins will be a year old this summer. They were born June 3, 2009 Jackson Reid weighing 8 lbs 14 ozs and Preslee Nicole weighing 7 lbs 12 ozs. I am 5′1″ and carried them full term-working up until the day they were delivered in a small town hospital.

My twin boys are 18 years old and were 8lb 10oz and 8lb 3oz at 3 weeks early and I’m 5′ 1! Non-identical one is now 6′ 2, the other 5′ 10.
Not sure I’ve ever recovered!!!

I can relate too. I had twin girls last January – 8 lbs 15 oz and 7 lbs 10 oz – born by C-section at 38 weeks.

Hey everyone. It’s great finding this blog, and all your big twin weights.

My twin boys are 4 months old now, and were born 2wks early weighing 7Ibs 13 and 8Ibs 13. I was a bit of a record breaker in my county, and I haven’t yet come across anyone in my area with bigger twinnies.

It’s lovely to read about ladies who really know what it’s like to carry so much baby! My second child was born 16wks prem too due to incompetent cervix, so it was a real achievement to grow my twins so well – albeit with the help of a cervical stitch x

I am a proud mother of boy and girl twins, turning sweet 16 on May 5th! I am 5′3, 110 pounds and my twins were 9 lbs even and 7lbs 13 oz.! I feel very blessed and thankful they came out healthy and big!

Big Twins! I’m glad I’m not the only one!My twins were induced at 38 weeks. My daughter (twin A) was 8 lbs and my son (twin B) was 8 lbs 13 oz. Healthy and happy. My body was SKINNY but my stomach was HUGE! They took everything they could from my body I’d give it to them again if I could.

I HAVE TWO SETS OF TWINS!!! The first set at 34 weeks was 6lbs 8oz and 6lbs 3oz. The second set was 35 weeks and 5lbs 11oz and 5lbs 3oz. They are two years and ten days apart. I am five feet tall. I was huge!! Kudos to the linebackers!! Holy shmoley!!!!

I’m expecting our second set of fraternal twins. This time girls. Our first set, boys, were induced at 38wks 5 days.7lbs 10oz and 7lbs 4oz. Our singleton a year later was 10lbs 21.5 inches. I’m ok with 2 six pounders this time:-) I mean, who really wants to break records with tummy stretching!!

I had my b/g twins in 1999. My daughter topped the scales at 10 lbs 7.6 oz and my son was 7lbs 11 oz. Had a planned c section and I was 39 weeks and 5 days. 12 years later they are now taller than I am!

My b/g twins were delivered at 38.5 weeks. Boy, 7 lbs 12 oz, girl was 7 lbs 2 oz. both 21 inches. I am 5 ft 9 and measured at 52 inches. Destroyed my abdominal muscles. I had a 4 inch separation, and had corrective surgery when they were 22 months old.
Had to have over 500 internal stitches to repair the muscles. Best thing I ever did, my stomach looks like it did when I was a teenager, would recommend it to anybody. If you can get through the pain of a twin pregnancy, you can do this!

My twins were born at 37 weeks and my son was 8lb 12oz and my daughter was 6lb 5oz.thank god i never went full term.they would of been huge!!

My twins wherr born at 37 weeks snd weighrd 9 pound 13 and 8 pound 4
