@ 24 weeks I was up 7 lbs. I was a bit worried about not gaining much but my dr keeps reassuring me it will be fine. I have my 28 week appt thurs. We will see then.
My ob wants me to gain about 35 so I'm close and I don't mind going over as long as we are healthy and fed I started out at 100 lbs so I also wouldn't mind keeping around 10 lbs post baby. I must say having the extra weight has been rough on my back and legs. And you can't even tell I'm pregnant unless you see me from the side.

29 weeks, just under 40lbs gained. I somehow managed to gain 6lbs in 3 days. Stupid baby shower food! :[ I hope some magically comes off before my OB appt on Wednesday, I'm not prepared to get yelled at about weight gain again.
Just weighed myself, just cried for a half hour. Ugh.

Chin up mama. Don't let it stress you out. I'm 27 weeks and up 37lbs now. Some of us just gain more.
30 weeks and 20 pounds. I feel like I was on a roll a few weeks ago, but now everything is starting to slow down. I'm pretty sure he's in that stage where the brain is developing so the weight gain is at a stand still. However, in the next few weeks I have a feeling that scale is going to start going up rather quickly.
27 weeks and 22 pounds. I gained 60 total with DS (42 wks) and 46 total with DD (40wks). So I feel pretty good. I'd like to keep it around 40 with this DS since I started out with 6 lbs of leftover miscarriage weight this time, but I have way too much on my plate (literally and figuratively) to worry about how much I gain. I'll just have to deal with it after this LO arrives.
I am 28 weeks and have gained 13 lbs. What I can't understand, is how I am SO huge with only gaining that amount of weight. Does anyone else feel confused as to how they seem to be exploding everywhere, but not gaining a lot of weight? I was in maternity clothes at about 14 weeks, and didn't start gaining until 19 or so. Where is it all coming from?? I look like I have gained at least 35 lbs.
I will have gained 50 lbs this month. All healthy weight from baby and placenta
OMG, will you go away? We all know what you are.
I'm at 29 weeks and I'm 10 lbs under my starting weight. With my first, I gained like 60. I'm a bit confused because I have NOT been eating the best the last few weeks. I just feel like baby is taking everything for himself. My doctor isn't concerned, so I can't say I'm disappointed. I held onto some weight from my first pregnancy, and it would be nice to have a jump start at losing more weight.
28 weeks and I'm up almost 40lbs.. I know I haven't been eating well, but I don't want to deprive myself of what I want... I do that enough when I'm NOT pregnant. Also, I had every intention on exercising throughout the pregnancy, but being as sick as I was in the first trimester, I was afraid to start any exercise routine once I was feeling better. My doctor keeps telling me I'm gaining too much weight, but everyone who sees me says it's all in my belly... So I'm either giving birth to the largest baby boy EVER or people are just being nice... Haha.

I think there is a difference between allowing yourself to indulge from time to time, and giving into every single craving/desire for 9 months. Are you making some healthy eating choices as well? God knows I don't eat great all the time, but I know that for the health of my baby, I can't just say "I am pregnant it doesn't matter" every time I want Wendy's or a milkshake.
27 weeks and some amount of day .. (4?) Up 15lbs and all of it since week 20. That was my plan for the whole pregnancy.. Oh well.. Guess baby has other plans. He is a feisty one, just like his Dad. And if things go like dad he will be chubby and two weeks late. Lets hope that isn't the case.
I am trying to make healthier choices... I definitely understand that whatever I eat goes directly to baby and I'm trying to give him the proper nutrition he needs. I think a lot of my weight gain has been due to being unemployed and without a vehicle... Not to use it as an excuse, but if I had something that I had to do or a way to get out of the house, even if it's just to go to the mall and walk, it would make a difference.

@aliletz I know it's confusing. I'm @lhalliburton and have been posting since the beginning of my first trimester, but my computer logged me out of that user name and I can only log in on my phone with it. So I made a new account. I haven't been on in awhile and completely forgot about my username change. Sorry about that.
At 30 weeks 4 days doc said 4lbs total weight gain Here's the thing it was 20 at 28 weeks. Doc said they must have wrote weight down wrong time before. I was very swollen the time before but 17lbs impossible !
Re: How much weight have you gained so far and what week are you?

I was up 13 at my 25 week appointment. March was a celebration filled month, so lots of unhealthy eating! I had only gained 5 before my 20 week appt!
