How much weight have you gained and is it more or less than you first anticipated it would be?

So far I've gained 24lbs- this is my first baby- but I'm kind of surprised how much I've gained with so many weeks left.

FrickandFrack · July 2009

As of my appt. yesterday I have gained 21 pounds. This is my first and I am very proud of my weight gain although I was heavier to begin with.

Heather Ruane · July 2009

28 Lbs and I am 36 weeks.

I am totally disgusted with that amount; I can't wait to take it all off!

JNicMTek · July 2009

40 pounds

MrsBro6116 · July 2009

I've gained.....26/27? That was at my last appt, I go on Friday so then I'll get the 'real time' amount.

I'm not going to lie. I think I'm doing pretty good. My doctor is pleased and it has all been very gradual.

tiannalee · July 2009

I've gained 5 pounds but I started out really overweight (215) and lost 10 in the beginning due to the severe morning sickness, which I have since gained back so I guess its really 15 pounds but a net of 5. I seriously thought I would have gained a lot more but DH does all the cooking and he prepares only healthy foods for my lunch and dinner. Thank goodness for DH's that love to cook otherwise I would likely eat take out and frozen meals and have gained a lot more.

Sia29 · July 2009

I've put on 30 but I've been holding steady at the same weight for almost 2 months (I was 28lbs at my 24wk appt, 30 lbs at my 28 wk appt and still am at 34 wks). I gained almost all the weight second trimester and then it just tapered off and stopped. It's crazy how fast it can sneak up on you - one month alone I put on 10lbs.

DebbieH3 · July 2009

28 lbs so far (I was considered underweight when I got PG) - 2nd PG - I'm 32 wks

jnk062602 · July 2009

27 pounds as of my 32 week appointment (at 32 weeks, 3 days). I'm fine with it. I think the weight will mean more to me during a second pregnancy. Because as of now, I like to just believe a lot will come off shortly after having the baby. But if that turns out to not be true, then I will probably be more concerned about weight gain during my next pregnancy.

sandollar · July 2009

27 pounds as of last week. I am surprised, especially since I lost 10 pounds with MS in the beginning. I am fine with how I look, everyone swears it is ALL in my belly, but still just surprised at how much weight it is already! ?

InLove24 · July 2009

My last appt @34 weeks, I had gained 18lbs. My whole family thinks I've gained so much weight. I'm so sick of hearing them complain about my weight

psvenson · July 2009

I've gained about 20 pounds total. Just about all of it was gained in the second tri and I've actually lost a pound since my last OB appointment, so the gain seems to be slowing down a lot for me.

Finn829 · July 2009

25 lbs. at my appt last week. I like to think some of that was from my vacation the week before. I'm not too worried about it.

BeeLove · July 2009

14 lbs. Most of it has been in the third. I am averaging one lb. a week now that I am going every two weeks. I go back Wednesday and I am bigger, so I assume I have put on two more lbs. I don't weigh myself at home.

This is more than I THOUGHT I would gain based on my mom's pregnancy, but I am not unhappy with the weight gain. I think I will probably gain about 25 by the end, and that is OK with my doc.

LexiNemecek · July 2009

I've gained about 18 lbs... I guess that's about what I thought I'd gain. My mom claims that she only gained about 15 lbs with each pregnancy (she has 3 kids), so I figured I wouldn't gain much. I've still got at least 5 more weeks, so I'll probably gain about 23-25 lbs or so. I kinda think my mom is full of crap that she only gained 15lbs. We were all 8lb babies. But she's pretty petite, so maybe she did.

Jenny3 · July 2009

40lbs. It's about what I expected

Sept0107Bride · July 2009

I have gained 19lbs as of this week - 34 weeks.

whirli · July 2009

I've packed on about 10 pounds total pretty much exclusively in the third tri. I was heavy to begin with and my doctor said I'd be fine keeping my total weight gain between 10-15 pounds.

Kendall13 · July 2009

24 lbs at my peak, but I lost 2 at my last appointment.

I have to admit that I'm proud of my weight gain, but I wouldn't have felt badly if it had been much more. It's all for a good cause!

robynlesley · July 2009

I can update that later today... ugh. But at last week's appt. (36 weeks) I gained 34 lbs. It's a bit more than I expected, but not by much.

chucknorris11 · July 2009

45. And I am going on weight watchers for nursing moms as soon as I give birth, lol.

cld123 · July 2009

I've only gained 7 lbs and I'm 7 months ! Starting weight at around 6 weeks was 114, now I'm 121. woo hoo !!! The dr doesn't seem concerned since I'm measuring just right so guess I'm just all pure baby !

tdalbey21 · July 2009

The doc says I have gained 15 lbs. I didn't go to my first appt. until I was 10 weeks and I think I gained about 5 lbs in those first 10 weeks. The doc says I am underweight but isn't concerned. I have always been small.

BlairWaldorf · July 2009

19 lbs.

I'm not surprised at how MUCH I've gained as much as how QUICKLY I gained it in the last few weeks.

I barely gained anything in 1st and 2nd tri, then the end of 2nd tri hit & I started gaining 2-4 lbs per week. It's insanity. I'm walking at night, eating healthy, chugging water, but the weight keeps piling on.

& I have 12 weeks left Indifferent Which is fine if the weight gain slows down, but otherwise, we're talking another 20 lbs or so & that terrifies me.

merjmm · July 2009

As of my appointment yesterday I have gained 15lbs. I am happy with my weight gain thus far. It is however far less than I thought I would have gained by now. I thought I was going to be HUGE like all the women in my family were.

Puckchick07 · July 2009

17 pounds. A lot less than I thought I would. I did have food aversion in the beginning. Truthfully, I just haven't had a big appetite this whole pregnancy, but I am eating very healthy and going without my wine probably helps with the weight too!

Kriszta · July 2009

JNicMTek:
40 pounds

This. Though I have started to lose weight the last couple of weeks.

MrsPreK · July 2009

I've only gained 20lb's so far =D

With DS I learned the hard way that being pg is NOT an all you can eat buffet - with him I gained 50lbs!!

sophie888 · July 2009

24lbs at 37 weeks

At1stsight · July 2009

26 lbs. - like others, I gained most of it at the end of 2nd tri and beginning of 3rd (2-3 lbs every week for a while), but now it's tapering off, so I'm hoping to end up around 33 lbs total, which I'm fine with. When I thought I'd eclipse 40 lbs., I was a little stressed.

greenlove7 · July 2009

50...& hating every minute of it

music247 · July 2009

12 lbs since my last appointment...

I was determined NOT to gain a bunch of weight since I was already overweight, plus I haven't had much of an appetite the entire pregnancy.

kmh2201 · July 2009

About 30 pounds, which is more than I thought I would... DS and I will be going for a lot of walks after he arrives!

LeelaH · July 2009

I have gained around 30 pounds at almost 30 weeks. It is pretty much what I anticipated. I eat way too much garbage. I gained 54 pounds with my daughter, but I was about 15 pounds lighter when I got pregnant with her. I'm hoping I don't pile on too much more, but I expect at least another 10 pounds. It's fine by me. Most of it will come off shortly after he's born.

AfterAll · July 2009

30 lbs last I checked. I put on a lot during the first tri because I was hungry all the time... I have been pretty steady the past few weeks though. I am thinking that I will top out at 40 lbs.

2006bride* · July 2009

40 pounds, and I think I've stopped gaining for now. I was definitely underweight before getting pregnant.

Tabby2727 · July 2009

26 pounds as of 35 weeks. I gained a lot of it in my 2nd trimester. Lately it's been about a pound a week.

JennlovesAustin · July 2009

I have only gained 6 lbs... I am trying to gain more, but my body is just not responding. I am crossing my fingers that I don't get in trouble at the doctor tomorrow!

cathomas228 · July 2009

I think I may have you all beat, with my first I was concidered under weight when I got preg, but by the end of my pregnancy I had gained 52lbs!!!! However I had lost 35 befor I even left the hosp. they say it was mostly water weight so don't worry you'll loose it, espically if you breastfeed.

MrsWanee · July 2009

i had gained 16 as of my appt. last friday. from the beginning, i thought i would gain more, but i started eating pretty healthy and working out every day at 19 weeks, so i'm hoping to keep it under 20.

Heather&Carl · July 2009

About 35 pds i figured that I would gain between 35 and 40, so it doesn't worry me to much!
