Could you please share the weight that your multiples were at birth.

I was under the impression that if you carried to 38+ weeks with no growth limitations on babies that they would be a 'normal' size 7-8 pounds.
By the looks of the Clothing size thread this doesn't seem the case.

My boys were 2460g and 2045g at 34+6 weeks.

That didn't happen here. Mine were 38w and 5lb8oz and 5lb13oz

Mine were 2.4kg & 2.6kg at 37+1.

At 37 .5 weeks mine were 2.89 and 2.90 kg.

Mine were 2.1kg & 2.3kg at just shy of 36wks.

Oh wow. They're going to be tiny
I just thought If normal growth was followed they'd be the same as a singleton, aslong as they were carried to full term etc.

DD1 was 38W 8.7
DD2 was 37W 8.8

Will be interesting to See what they weight. Must invest in some smaller clothes

Oh snap Steggles! Mine were 2.4 & 2.6 as well. Except they were born 2 weeks earlier than yours at 35+1. They seemed so tiny, but they were obviously boofers LOL.

Aunt twins - 40 + 2 weeks
Twin 1 - 7lb 6oz
Twin 2 - 7lb 8oz

Her two eldest boys were both we over 9lb

2.1kg and 2.3kg at 36 weeks.

At 38w mine were 5lb9oz each. Another set of twins born the same day were a little heavier - about 5lb10oz and 6lb at 36w.
Some have told me it also has to do with the type of twins - and whether they are sharing a placenta or not. Mine were mo-di, whereas my friends were di-di.

My dr said that multiples generally grow at the same rate as singletons up until a certain point when they are a bit more pushed for space then their growth slows down. Would be interested if knows a bit more and can explain if either of these theories are true??

MCDA twins - 37+6 2.6kg/2.7kg - remained in 25th percentile until there last appointment where they have jumped to the 50th

37+5wks ds2 weighed in at 3.5kgs and dd was 3.1kgs

my singleton was born at 39wks and weighed 3.720kgs so I think ds2 would have been bigger than ds1 if he stayed put for another week or two.

37w6d twin 1 3260 twin 2 3480, so whoppers for me!!

After 3 singletons (8lb 12oz @ 41+2, 8lb 6oz @ 40+6 and 8lb 7oz @ 39+3), my twins were induced at 38+0 and weighed 8lb 1oz and 7lb 1oz.

(Funnily enough, my "little" one has always been different from the other 4 children, the bigger twin was just like having another one of my singletons.)

Twins born at 36.4 weeks 2.8 kg and 3.0 kg
Single 39 weeks 3.8kg

Twins at 36weeks 2.36kg and 2.63kg.
Singleton at 38.2weeks 3.085kg

Mine were born at 29 weeks a weighed 1.250kg the other was 1.320kg

Declan and Amelia were born at 38+2

Declan weighed 2960g and Amelia weighed 3535g

Wish I carried them full term!

I had whoppers too. They were born @ 37 +5 and were 3.3 kgs and 3.7 kgs. I had to take all the 00000 and 0000 back and get 000. Thankfully I kept all the tags on.

At 38 weeks mine were 2.6kg and 3.8kg
Singleton bubs: both 3.5kg at 40 weeks and 40+5

2.6kg & 2.8kg at 36 weeks.

My 38.5 week singleton was 3.6kg and my 42 weeker was 3.2kg.

37+5
twin 1 - 2.6kg
twin 2 - 2.9kg

36w4d, 2.98 (Ms J) and 3.06kg (Mr P). Mr P was the same weight as my singleton born at 40w6d, but she was tall and skinny as a rake (appeared to have had her growth compromised in utero) and he was short and fat!

I was expecting the babies to be much smaller, even though they had consistently tracked at or over the top of the growth charts on growth ultrasounds. It was a nice surprise.

Singleton - 3.25kg (7lb 2oz) at 40+3 weeks
Twin 1 - 2.99kg (6lb 9oz) at 38+2 weeks
Twin 2 - 2.35kg (5lb 2oz) at 38+2 weeks.

Mine were induced at 38wks - twin 1 3.04kg and twin2 3.19kg

Gave birth at 36wks exactly.
Twin 1 - 3.2kg (DS2)
Twin 2 - 2.8kg (DS3)

Singleton DS1 - 3.13kg at 39+3
Singleton DD - 4.51kg at 40+4

mine were 3.3k and 2.5 at 38 weeks.

I make little babies

My singleton's were all under 7 pounds, smallest being 5 pounds 12 oz at 39 weeks, largest 6 11oz
My twins came at 36 +4 and were Twin1: 4 pounds and Twin 2: 4 pounds 7oz

2.5 and 2.6kg at 37w4d

At 37 + 1 weeks, twin 1 was 3.4kg (7lb5oz) and twin 2 was 3.76kg (8lb3oz). yes big for twins indeed. my singleton (DD1) was 5.26kg (11lb1oz). i am not a big girl either.

Wow, Elsom! You must have fantastic, toned arms!

My twins were 2.150kg and 2.140kg at 35.4 weeks.

2.3kg and 2.6kg at 37 weeks.

Singleton - 2.41kg at 38+2
Triplet 1 - 2.14kg at 33+3
Triplet 2 - 1.88kg
Triplet 3 - 1.91kg

2.4 and 2.6kg or 5lb8oz and 5lb12oz. Length 46 and 47cm. 38+1 weeks

Wasn't sure what to expect sizewise, knew they'd be a bit smaller but probably didn't expect how skinny they were. Tiny little thin arms and legs. No fat layer, so scrawny looking.

Made my sisters 8lb14oz 51cm baby look huge.. hehe

Mine are fraternal.

My friends twins weighed 5lb 12oz(girl) and 8lb3oz(boy) at 38weeks.

My twins born at 38+4 3.66kg(8.1)& 3.33kg(7.5)
My singleton born at 41+3 4.14kg

So it my twins stayed in as long as my singleton chances are they would have been bigger than her.

My twins at 34w4d were 3kg & 3.3kg! I would hate to think how huge they would I have been had I gotten to 38w!

Born at 34 weeks my girls where 1.7 & 1.9kg's.

My boys were born 37w5d and weighed 2.2 and 2.9kg.

My girls were born at 38 weeks + 4 and were;

Twin 1 - 6pd 1 oz (2.77kg)
Twin 2 - 6pd 5 oz (2.93kg)

Twin 1- 3.015kg (6lbs 10oz)
Twin 2- 3.105kg (6lbs 14oz)
Born at 37+5
