(i want to start by saying, if you have lost weight, keep it to yourself. i'm sorry if you're sick or whatever, but i'm cranky and fat and i don't want to hear it.)
anyway:
as of my appointment today i have gained 9 pounds total. (i say it's really 7.5, because i weighed myself at home without jeans and shoes, but whatever)
my doc said that it was fine, that i was on track and should gain 30 to 35 total, but god, i feel like a flippin' whale.
what about you? what have you gained? what do you want/plan to gain total? second-time moms, gaining faster or slower this time?

I just go by my at home scale too
I've gained around 8 pounds so far, I had a normal BMI before pregnancy so was told to aim for anywhere from 25 to 35 pounds. I'm only 5'3" so ideally would like to stay on the lower end!
I'm up 2 lbs, but with the way I've been eating I'll be up several more by my next appt. The last 2 days I have been eating like crazy!!!!!
I think I'm gaining at about the same speed I did with DS. I gained WAY more towards the end. I was up 32lbs total with him. I'm hoping to not gain quite that much this time, but I'm sure I will...oh well.

So far I've gained 3-4.
With my first pregnancy I gained about 35-40 pounds.
I would love to gain 30 total, but as long as I don't go over the poundage from last time (because I now know I can come back from it) I'll be happy.
the nurse who weighs me always says, "up [however many] pounds since last time." she says it in a mock-cheerful way.
i want to say, "just don't tell me, and i'll keep my eyes closed when i weigh, okay?"
at my 2 month appointment i had only gained 2, so i gained 6 or 7 in the last month.
zero so far. 25 weeks.
However, I started out at a size 12/14 and 185 pounds when I got pregnant.
At 15 weeks, I had gained 4 pounds.
From 21-26 weeks, where I am currently, I have not gained a single pound.
But from 15-21 weeks, I gained 13 pounds.
So 17 total. Got a little nervous about my fast gain last month, but now I am a little nervous that I am not gaining. It physically hurts me to eat too much food. I am eating such small portions. I am not sick at all, but it feels like my stomach may explode and it hurts to move when I eat too much.

I'm up 18. Whatever....I spent my last pregnancy stressing about weight to the point of purposely scheduling my appointments in the morning and only eating watermelon until after my appointment. Not worth it. It doesn't matter as long as you are healthy and the baby is healthy. Plus it melts off fast after, especially if you breastfeed.
Good luck ladies! You are all beautiful!
This is me exactly... I was borderline underweight at the start (126lbs and 5'9") and had to eat like a wolf for weeks. Now I'm 14lbs (whoa!!!) up as of yesterday. Every time I see my doc he says it's perfect. The way I know it's ok is bc all my normal clothes fit - minus the belly area - and I wear size 1 prego pants...
sorry had to brag on that... Hope it stays that way.
I am up about 12 lbs...and I was overweight to start. I am really not worried about it. I gained 35 lbs with Lily and lost it all in the first few weeks.
I really wish people would stop worrying about their weight so much.

I'm up 16 lbs now at 26 weeks. I'm trying to be under 35 lbs this time around.
With DS, I was up 23 lbs at this stage (and gained 42 lbs total). I had lost all but 5 lbs by 3 months pp, and the rest, plus 3 lbs with a bit of work over the next few months.
