Big Twins!
Thursday June 15, 2006
A set of twins born in Utah this week weighed a combined seventeen pounds. KSL.com reports that Dakota and Dillan Lyon weighed 10 pounds 4 ounces and 6 pounds 13 ounces, respectively. They were delivered by Caesarean section on Wednesday, June 14th in Logan, Utah. Mom, Monica, surmises that their generous size may be due to her own height. She is 6 feet 3 inches tall.
Although the Utah boys are large, they'e nowhere near record breaking. According to the Facts About Multiples website, the largest twins ever born weighed more than twenty-seven pounds combined. Patricia and John Haskin, born in Arkansas in 1924, weighed 14 pounds and 13 pounds, 12 ounces respectively.

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!
