18-19 Weekers: Weight Gain?

CoreysGal

I read in Your Pregnancy Week by Week that your weight gain should be 10-13 lbs at 18 weeks.  I was wondering if most of us are in that range. 

I have only gained 7.5 as of today but I was a good 15 lbs overweight to start with.

Everyone gains weight differently, so that 10-13 lbs is probably not very accurate.

I've gained about 5 pounds. My doctor doesn't seem remotely worried about it so I haven't been worried about it.

11lbs total from the when I first go pregnant to today at 18w4d. I guess is normal for the first 4 months total. My doctor never says anything too bad, just that it's ok to give the belly what it wants. But, if you could see my belly...I've recently popped a lot more. It's all straight out from me and in the belly.

I've only gained about 3-4 lbs. according to our scale.  And believe me, it's not for lack of trying.  Some days I feel like I eat everything in sight.  But everyone is dfiferent.  I knew a girl who only gained 9 lbs her entire pregnancy, and she was tiny to begin with, so I don't think it really matters, as long as the baby is gaining.

I've gained 7-8lbs so far.  I wasn't overweight before but I was on the high end for my height, so I feel like this is perfect for me.

Wow!  Did you have a lot of m/s or have you just been eating really healthy since finding out?

I lost weight 1st tri and just got back up to my pre-pregnancy weight last week. I have not weighed myself since mid last week but I'm sure I've gained a couple of pounds.

Everyone gains differently. I have gained about 14 already, seems like a lot to me...Doc says I'm on track so I'm ok with it!

20 Weeks with 7/8 lbs of weight gain.  I had a few exta lbs to begin with so I'm sure I'm doing just fine in the weight gain dept!

At 18 weeks, I was up exactly 8 lbs.

bobbidall

I'm up 16 pounds and I'm okay with it.  Hopefully doctor will be too. 

katiemarie

I will be 18w and am up 2lbs so far.  However, with my first DD I didn't gain any weight until after 20 weeks so my doc is not concerned.  It all catches up with me at the end!

ktsnshn

I am up 9-10 right now.

I'm almost 19 weeks and as of yesterday have gained 13 pounds.  I gained 10 of those just in the last 5 weeks .  I'm a little nervous that I've gained too much....my next doctors appt is in two weeks so I guess we'll see...

jenkm

I'm up 17 lbs at 18 weeks...  But I'm carrying twins. 

According to my multiples pregnancy book, I should be up 18 - 24 lbs by 18 weeks, so I'm happy.  I started at a normal BMI.

I'll be 18 weeks and I've gained 8.

I'm at -8lbs, but I was overweight to begin with, and I had H1N1 all of last week. I didnt eat for almost 6 days. I lost weight w. DD also the first half of my pregnancy. I ended up gaining 12lbs total with her, and almost 9lbs were just of how much she weighed.

0.. yup zero.  Had an appt last week and was the same weight as I was 4 weeks ago, and actually its -1 lb from my original weigh in.  I'm eating, heck I just ate 2 pieces of cheese lovers pizza from pizza hut.

melissamaloo

I am up 2 lbs but then I started out at 203 so I'm not on the same weight gain schedule as the average person. That being said, I am hungry all the time but nothing ever sounds good to eat so I grab a handful of mixed nuts or some water until I can come up with something somewhat healthy to eat so I am not filling myself with empty calories.

-25 pounds, I was overweight to begin w/by about 50 pounds. I have had sever m/s that still has not let up as of today. the sad part is I am on anti nausea meds and still have bad m/s. docs dont seem to be concerned since I am staying hidrated and when I am able to eat my meal a day and keep it down its healthy plus my prenatals

amynicoletta

I've only gained 3 lbs. so far.

Jessys_Girl

I've only gained 4.5.

But I'll be honest i am nearly 100 lbs overweight to begin with, so I'm not looking to gain a whole bunch more.

Mrs.Hagzz51306

blondbomber23

I haven't gained anything yet. I started out a bit underweight and my doctor doesn't seem concerned.
