I am 16 weeks pregnant and wondering how much weight should I have gained so far..I am not sure if I am just overeating and not exercising as much...my work clothes are getting a bit tighter.  Thanks for any reply!

    I lost 7 in the begining weighing 144 to 135 and now at 17w and odd days im at 145 so i've only gained one pound. last week the weighed 145 too so idk it also depends on the body and build

    I was somewhat over my ideal weight to begin with, but I had gained roughly 5lbs at my 16 week appointment. They were happy with that.

    Ask your doc. Recs are different for everyone, and every doctor seems to have their own philosophy on the matter.

    it differs a lot per person. My doc just told me to gain 20-30 by the the time I deliver. She told me that some gain it gradually, others gain it in big spurts, the point is just to make sure you're eating a healthy balanced diet, and eating when you're hungry.

     

    At 16 weeks my pants were barely hanging on. I needed to have them unbuttoned, when I also needed them to be unzipped (17 weeks) I just switched to maternity pants and they are sooooo comfy!

    it is very different for each person and looks at your background, your height and weight. I am 5"10 and at the beginning I weighed 140. Then I lost 8lbs and now i've gained back about 4. So we'll see when I go in next week!

    I weighed 122 pre preg and today i weighed 129, so 7 pounds.  I will say I gained 5 pounds between 6 and 8 weeks though, and then have slowed down.

    I was 187 before and at 16 weeks weigh 182. So I have lost 5 and they keep telling me I am starving myself which I am not.  I just lose weight at 1st just like last time

    I went from 142 lbs to 141 lbs.  I just lost that one pound in the past couple weeks too.  My doctor hasn't said anything to me about weight gain.  It's my crazy husband who wants me to give birth to a linebacker that is always on my case about gaining weight.

    I lost some 6-7 pounds in the first tri and I've gained back most of that... I am trying to be a bit careful though since I was already on the higher side of normal BMI. I'm just about feeling a slight stretch on my work pants now :-)
