How much weight have you gained?

DiMattoni · October 2009

I know that every pregnancy is different, but I wonder if I'm "below average" and not gaining enough weight. I'm 17 weeks along and have only gained about 3-5 pounds. I know of a coworker who is 2 weeks behind me (about 14.5 weeks) and she's already gained about 10! I'm sure my doctor will tell me if I need to gain more, but maybe that's why I'm hardly showing... Sad

6.8

Tinkx123x · October 2009

at 20 weeks I was up 12 lbs. I haven't been weighed since. I will find out a new number today at my glucose screening!

i feel like i haven't really gained much more but we'll see!

ddelo23 · October 2009

I gained 1 lb as of 2 weeks ago. My next appointment is the 13th so i'll see then! Everyone is different. I think you're fine.

ShannonLK · October 2009

A lot more than you.

LOL

Bubbles1022 · October 2009

I'm 25 weeks and I've gained back the 6 lbs I lost due to m/s in the 1st tri and have gained an additional 6 lbs on top of that. My OB has not mentioned any concern about my weight gain so I am not worried about it.

DianeN9 · October 2009

i dont know if this will make you feel better or worse lol...

at my 8 wk apt i had gained 4 lbs

at my 11 wk apt i had lost 8 lbs

at my 15 wk apt i was back up to pre pregnancy weight

at my 19 wk apt i gained 4lbs

at my 23 wk apt i gained 10!

4 weeks later.. its almost another 10!

nlvaden · October 2009

at 16 weeks it was 2 lbs total, at 20 weeks it was 10 lbs total.

lindseystenlund · October 2009

7 lbs Crying

But every woman's body is different. In my last pregnancy (that resulted in a loss) I went all the way to 20 weeks and never gained a single pound (and the loss had absolutly nothing to do with gaining or not gaining weight).

I'm sure your fine!

Mrs.Syntax · October 2009

I've gained between 4 and 5 lbs. so far, but I never had any m/s.

gingerfamily · October 2009

I've lost 23 pounds.

Shari 86 · October 2009

Well my first tri I lost 20.So far I have gained 10 back. I just checked lol. It was only 6 pounds 2 weeks ago at my appointment.

Lurksgirl · October 2009

I've gained 5 lbs. so far.

LarloBlue · October 2009

I lost 22 lbs in the beginning, and have recently gained back 4.

bridetobe101505 · October 2009

2 pounds so far with this bean! But with my son, I hadn't gained much either and ended up gaining 50 pounds by the end!!!?

tripps · October 2009

11 pounds

rhawkins06 · October 2009

I was only at 8 lbs at 20 weeks. I go back in a week and a half for my 24 weeks so I won't know current until then.

Ashleve · October 2009

-14 so far. I feel like i may have gained a little of it back since my apt 3 weeks ago.

i'm hoping to have at least not have lost anymore by my next appointment on tuesday.

MrsWindyCity · October 2009

2-3 depending on the day, I'm a little over 14w

Vuja_de · October 2009

200 pounds.

just kidding, i am right on track with weight gain and i will leave it at that.

Mrs.Wifey318 · October 2009

I lost about 15lbs at the beginning and have just started gaining again. I have gained back 8lbs so I am still down 7lbs from prepregnancy weight. Do you have a long torso? If the baby has a lot of room to move up sometimes you don't pop as early.

WearingRed · October 2009

I have gained 3 pounds total so far, and I lost 2, so really I gained 5 all together. But I am only suppose to gain 25-30 total (from pregnancy starting weight) so I am doing good so far.

MonicaD · October 2009

14 lbs so far. :-) and i am 22 wks

Kenza · October 2009

6 lbs.

SigmundsGirl · October 2009

I have gained 8 thus far. I didn't lose any in the first tri. My weight gain chart shows that at this stage I should have gained between 8 -14 pounds, so I think I am doing well. I weigh in at the doctor's office tomorrow.

Biinaboo · October 2009

When I was 16 weeks I had only gained 2 pounds. At my 25 week appointment I had gained a total of 16. It's normal to have a slow start and then it catches up with you. Mine so far were... Weeks 8-12, 1 pound. Weeks 12-16, 1 pound. Weeks 16-21, 7 pounds. Weeks 21-25, 7 pounds.

lilsooner · October 2009

I am still down 2 lbs from where I started and I am 16 weeks.

LittleMamaB · October 2009

I'm still down a pound, but I was horribly sick until about a week and a half ago. I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow.

stace42 · October 2009

I have gained 13 lbs so far - but after my dinner last night I have probably gained at least another pound :-)

ibis · October 2009

I'm not sure - I only weigh myself every 4 weeks at my appts.

I was up 8 lbs at 22 weeks. But everyone's different.

lecooke · October 2009

At my 20 week appointment I was down 20 lbs.

Hopefull11 · October 2009

As of last week I was up 9 pounds.

AnotherChance · October 2009

At my appointment yesterday (14 weeks), I had gained 4 pounds. The doctor was fine with it. But, everyone is different...some gain a lot up front, and less later. Some lose weight at the start, then gain a bunch in the last tri. It also depends on whether you're super skinny, or a little overweight to start with. You sound like you're in the normal range, I wouldn't worry.

tmp-263192375005966 · October 2009

13 lbs.

Nennifre · October 2009

@ 23 wks I gained 7 total. Dr hasn't said anything. I don't weigh myself at home, so I don't know what I currently weigh.

Mrs. Braxton · October 2009

I haven't gained any. I've lost 4 lbs. since my first appointment. I was a little fluffy even before I got pregnant so I'm only supposed to gain 15-25 anyway, per doctor's orders.

jenny1980 · October 2009

At 17 weeks it's not abnormal at all to have very little weight gain. Please take if from me and trust that the weight **will** come, and probably more quickly than you'd like.

At 16 weeks I was down a couple pounds. I am now nearing the 20lb gain mark.

akgram · October 2009

Just went in today and I'm up 7.5lbs. And I must add that 6lbs of that came in the last 4kws. I was shocked b/c I haven't changed my eating habits...oh well!!

brandinblake · October 2009

if your OB was concerned they'd tell you... I lost 12 lbs in the first tri due to all day sickness (i refuse to use the term morning sickness b/c that was NOT the case) and have only gained 3 back and im at 15 weeks. Though i have a prominant bump thanks to losing so much to begin with!!

BabyS. · October 2009

WOW! You all are tiny! I've gained 20 lbs, but I think it's all in my belly & boobs.
