So I'm 20 weeks and I have gained 10 lbs so far. 6 of those, I gained in a week! But I haven't gained anymore this past week. I still feel so tiny, although the babies are growing fine so far. I'm just curious to hear when others started "packing on the lbs".

Re: when did you start gaining weight quickly?
By 20 weeks with my first I probably gained the same as you. I wasn't in maternity clothes until close to 6 months.
I would say that the weight gain was sudden instead of gradual for me, but now it is quick!
I agree! I'm 28 weeks and I've gained 12-14 pounds so far. I'm overweight so my recommendation is about the 35 pound mark too. I think I'm starting to gain more quickly now and from what I understand, many gain the most in the last trimester. We'll see... my main concern is that the babies are healthy!
