Average Weight Gain at 25 Weeks?

lovemyboys15

I've gained 18 so far.. Curious as to how much others have gained by 25 weeks.

I'm 25w 1d and I'm just about equal with you.  I've gained 17.5 lbs.

McCooeyeBaby

I feel I have gained a lot. I am up 26 pounds!

danablack7

15 lbs. at 23 weeks, 5 days. It's definitely something I worry about and track, even though I shouldn't.

mrsRoy24

I've only gained 4 pounds and i'm 25 weeks 3 days. But in the first trimester I lost 15 pounds so now my body's playing catch up from that!

LAO12

25w and 30 lbs with twins

andreaschneier

I've only gained 10. Worried it's not enough but doctor doesn't seem worried, baby is fine. I just never feel hungry! Is that happening to anyone else??

Savanna111911

I'm not 25 weeks yet but I'm about 10 pounds at 22w5d, but my dr said this is the low side of normal.

NittanyPA

Almost 27 weeks ( Saturday) I've only gained about 8-10. Initially lost 40.

abbymessina

gotdiesel2007

Alyssakoch3

25 weeks and 2 days and have gained 7lbs so far. I had terrible morning sickness up until 21 weeks and still get sick occasionally. Doctor said baby is growing fine and is measuring right on though! I'm sure I'll be gaining the weight in the next few weeks and months!

shannonota

Leahauc

21 lbs at 25w6d but I actually lost 3 lbs between my appt two weeks ago and today. Idk how but doc said to get a milkshake lol.

lindsaypkelly

24 weeks today and at my appointment last week I was up about 15 pounds.
Everyone is always telling me I only look pregnant in the belly so hopefully it stays that way! Haha

Julz81

26w1d and I'm still down about 7lbs.

Koalaknuckles

I lost weight when I first got pregnant, so I'm only up about 10 pounds.

I'm not worried about it, I'm definitely eating enough and there are still a few months to go.

My body's never had a problem holding onto the weight that it needs to lol

Geez, I feel bad. I'm already up like 70 pounds at 24 weeks. I think I'm ok though because they are bull dozing the KFC next to my house in a month and I eat there like ninety percent of the time.

shenry43

Went today. Just about 26 weeks. Gained a total of 33 pounds!!!!! Doctor says I'm tall so it's not a crazy weight gain....and to watch what I eat. :-/

asherk

Up 12 at 24 weeks. Still waiting to pop so I can actually look pregnant instead of just a bit pudgy! Curse you, retroverted uterus...

cwhiteh1

I will be 25 weeks Friday and have also gained around 18 so far.

mvhove

I was up 15 lbs at my 22 week appt which my doctor said was totally fine and on track. I was surprised it was that much because at my 18 week appt I was only up 9 so I guess I really packed it on in the last month! Oh well, baby must need it. I do feel like I'm eating more frequently but I've been keeping it mostly healthy.

keniialise

I'll be 25 weeks on sat. And I'm with you at 18lbs. - with my first two I gained 45 and then 43 I was really hoping for like 30 this time around, doesn't look like that will be my reality =p

Brummy14

Up 17lbs at my 22w appt. I was also below my "normal" weight when I got pregnant, thanks to nearly 2 years of EPing, so I think my body packed on those extra 3-4lbs it "wanted" right away! That, and being pulled off all forms of exercise (including walking) at 12w -- that certainly doesn't help. Add on the weekly progesterone injections and who knows what the heck my body is doing. I DO know I was not able to fit into the pants I'm wearing now at this point with the twin pregnancy, so I'm certainly tracking behind where I was at that point (which, I'd certainly expect to be the case!!)

I just pretty much avoid the scale at home (don't need that "help"), and try to eat healthily as much as possible, with a few indulgences so I don't go insane. It all came off the first time, in time, and I know that will be the case this time, too. I just try not to agonize over the number on the scale. Baby gets what baby needs!

Iv gained 13 at 26 weeks

Not bashing or judging, because goodness knows I'm not "following the rules" either, but here's the recommended weight gain guidelines from the IOM for a singleton pregnancy:

Underweight: 28-40 lbs
Normal weight: 25-35 lbs
Overweight: 15-25 lbs
Obese: 11-20 lbs

Obviously, every woman and pregnancy are different, so defer to your health care provider.

On a related note, the NYTimes had an interesting article today about obesity and pregnancy in case anyone is interested.

26 weeks and I've gained 13 lbs

24 weeks and I have gained 23lbs

stormyyautumn

I've gained 15 pounds at my 24 week appointment. 

stormyyautumn

@andreaschneier I went through this really strange period where I was having some crazy indigestion and had no appetite at all.. even now my appetite seems to come and go. It's really odd!

SofiaIsabel

i'm 23 weeks and i've gained 30lbs. with my first i gained 50lbs total so i'm definitely nervous i'm gonna pass 50 this time around. my doctor is happy about the weight gain though, with the last pregnancy and with this one. i was 98lbs before both pregnancies so he thinks a little extra weight won't hurt lol.

daisyjo743

27 weeks today and up 16 lb. 4th baby.

JaneJane7

26 weeks, up 9 pounds! I will not gain more than 25, with 30 being the absolute limit!

I don't think pregnancy is any reason to super indulge and pack on pounds. I've seen too many people never look the same after pregnancy.

I worked too hard for my body to let it go.

And babe is perfectly healthy!!

Ashelee13

25 weeks today and I've gained 8 pounds so far. Also worried it isn't enough but doctor hasn't said anything yet. Might ask at next appt. But I'm also not feeling very hungry.

AmommyB

Yeah my previous post was just a little April Fools Day humor. I probably wouldn't brag about gaining 70 lbs this soon if that were really the case.

sschwege

24w today and up 12lbs.

wheresilenceismusic

14 lbs at 25 weeks

For some people it's not easy to lose the weight after baby @JaneJane7 no matter how hard they try it never fully comes off. And how can you put a max on how much you will gain?! I didn't over indulge my first pregnancy and I gained 40 pounds and came out with only being 6 pounds heavier then I was pre pregnancy. But shit happens and I became depressed and had ppd so food was my comfort. Gained 20 pounds and still working my ass to get it off. And fyi....nobody looks the same after pregnancy!

Amen to the bolded!  My recommended weight gain was 25-35lb.  Gained 26 with DD and 29 with DS.  Really only had to lose about 5ish pounds after the initial postpartum weight loss.  It didn't come off quickly, but did come off both times.  Even still some of my clothes never looked right even though I had lost all the weight, my hips just never fully went back to normal I think.
