I started at about 118 at was at 127 when i weighed myself a couple of days ago. So, a gain of 9lbs in about 18 weeks. Pretty much right on track.
Everyone's SO different, though. I gained a lot of my weight right away. I gained like 9 lbs in the first 6 weeks, or something like that. Then, it really tapered off. I was STARVING in the first tri, and my appetite has definitely diminished since then. That's different than what happens to most people who aren't hungry at first but are starving in the second tri.
Again.....44 lbs in 27 weeks. LOL The crazy thing is that I keep myself on a pretty strict diet (high protein and complex carbs) and only splurge once a week!
I dont know how much is normal, but I think Ive gained just WAY too much especially for already being overweight to begin with.
I thought this too, but I talk to my doctor about it and she said that I was doing fine. After struggling with my weight for so long it is hard to just let mysef feel good about gaining.

I've gained 4, and I lost 1 in the past month, so 3 total. I started out overweight though and my doctor only wants me to gain 15-20lbs so I'm right on track.
As of today, im 20 weeks and have a -12lb weight gain.
BUT!!!
This is my 4th pregnancy, my second in the last 2 years (#3 will be 21 months with this one is due) with the last one I peaked at -17lbs and gained all that back and then some in the last 3 weeks for a net pregnancy gain of 5lbs. According to the BMI I was morbidly obese prepregnancy and can afford to lose that and a lot more. The dr never said anything about weight during the last one and same doc hasnt said anything so far this time either. If they dont mention it, i dont stress on it during pregnancy.
Re: what have you gained?
Up 11 lbs. according to my scale but we'll see what the Dr.'s says tomorrow!
