23 weeks and 10 pounds. And 6 of those pounds were all in the last 4 weeks. Not everyone has gained between 20-30 pounds so far. Good question.
I said minus 20 and plus 30. Some women have lost a lot, some have gained a lot, and most are somewhere in between. It depends on so many factors that posts like these are useless except for making some people feel smug and others feel awful about themselves.

At 22 weeks I had lost 22lbs! I'm overweight though, so it's different to all you ladies who are slim! I'm feeling great.. Being pregnant is an amazing experience!
Hi there! I haven't been keeping track of my weight since I received my positive preg results because I figured (1) I had already gained 20 lbs over the last year and a half from the hormones/fertility treatments and (2) I figured the doc will tell me if there's some concern. But...during my last doctors appt, the nurse said well you've only gained 2 lbs in three months. I asked if that was an issue and she told me probably not, but the doc would let me know. That said, although my bump is HUGE, I think the pre pregnancy weight gain is just redistributing itself; which I'm thankful for.
I feel like a fatty after using this calculator! Gee Wiz! I have gained 15lbs and I am 24w4d
THIS! Except I know I've gained more than 15 pounds. Moving and traveling have been tough on me especially since we haven't had a decent kitchen (the one in our lodging sucks and the only seasonings I have are salt and pepper) since October 21. The only choice I have to worry about it at the end.
Can we please stop the "weight" posts now? Pretty please?
Kyrabrim· Are you new to the board? This is a March 2014 bmb so pretty much every woman is between 20 and 25 weeks give or take... Have you spoken with your health care provider about how much weight you have gained and should gain for your body type? Why are you asking this? Have you not read ANYTHING regarding pregnancy and weight gain? I hope you have a healthy pregnancy and contribute more to our bmb than inane questions like this
Somewhere around 86 since my last appt 2 weeks ago.
Seriously why does it matter. This provides no basis for comparison given the number of factors that could affect it. If you need an ego boost, post a selfie on fb...people love that shit and will tell you how amazing you look all day.
24+ weeks, I never had much morning sickness so I've been steadily gaining. My OB said she will let me know if there's a problem.
I have to admit, I have a fairly solid body image and good self esteem, but the weight gain is hard to cope with some days. I like the way I LOOK, but the number makes me nervous. Especially since I had a little extra to begin with. I try to push that aside and just make mostly healthy eating choices.
I can definitely see why so many women don't want to discuss it. Every body and every pregnancy is so different. Comparing will only make some people feel like they have to keep up or that they're doing something wrong.
Regardless of the number, all of you ladies are beautiful!
25 weeks and 8lbs gained. I was down 13lbs due to HG, but with the help of Zofran I'm gaining... by this time with DS's pregnancy I was already up 16lbs.

22.5 weeks.
I'm down about 12 pounds
I was a little concerned, but doc says I started out underweight, so that's all normal...
I'm also very tired of these posts.
Seriously, these post are fucking annoying.
