Ha, a pound a week. I can do better then that! How about a pound a DAY!!

At my 20 wk. appointment I gained a total of 8 lbs from my pre-preg weight. My 24 week appointment is on Tues but I weighed myself today and I am 6 lbs heavier! (total of 14 lbs). I'm sure I'll probably go up another pound by Tues. I am amazed that's even possible!!!

I have even been trying to eat healthier in the past month...snacking on carrots, cucumbers and apples......I guess I over did it on Thanksgiving!!!! Geez.

the exact same thing happened to me by week 24. ?i had only gained 7 pounds from 0-20 weeks and then gained 5 lbs in the four weeks between wek 20 and 24. ?it totally freaked me out by doc assured me the baby is going thru a big growth spurt at this time and it's totally normal. ?a lot of girls on here had their biggest weight gains between weks 20-26ish. ? just go with it! ?=)

I think at least 2 of the pounds are in my boobs. I have to go get new bras today!!! Sweet.

I gained 3 to 4 pounds a week for 5 weeks.  To do that I would have to eat 2X the number of calories I normally do and was not doing anywhere close to that.  I did the same with my dd.  I just don't think that a lot of it is "real weight" both because of the weight gain to calorie intake and because with my DD, I lost 60 pounds in basically 3 months without really trying, 15 pounds more than I gained.

oh don't feel bad!  i think it all evens out- some women gain a lot at intervals and others gain it slowly over a long period of time.  only worry if your doc says something
