When I was on bedrest on meds in the hospital, pregnant with my twins, one
of the nurses had delivered twins many years prior and they were near the
weights mentioned below or slightly more. I thought both were over 9# as I
remember. I also remember talking with a woman on the East Coast who had a
friend with two 9# twins. AMAZING! Mine were 5# and 6# (plenty big I might
say. I thought I was going to burst)
