I didn't gain much more than my other pregnancies and lost it quite quickly with nursing (I am naturally thin, gain a lot in pregnancy then lose it all in six months to a year). The loose skin however I couldn't do anything about and never went away completely.

I gained about 30lb which was less then my singleton pregnancy. But it was not such a good thing as my babies were born. Very small and had to spend time in the NICU.

With twins there's a lot more for the weight to go to. There's another placenta, more amniotic fluid, even breast tissue and overall blood volume increases more then a singleton pregnancy.

I'm due now and I gained 45 with this twins pregnancy. I think I lost body fat, my arms got very thin.

Read the book by Barbara Luke on twins pregnancy. She makes a strong case for gaining well by 28 weeks to produce best outcomes for multiples. I couldn't gain as much as she recommended although I did try, bh I made it to full term and they're measuring well.
