how much weight have you gained?

starsjaime · March 2011

How many weeks are you and how much weight have you gained? I'm almost 23 weeks and i've only gained 10 lbs. Is that enough or normal?

just curious to see where everyone else is at!

21 and 15. I know it's because this baby makes me want to eat chocolate. Wink It's average according to the nurse at my doc's office.

BTW I responded but I thought we outlawed weight posts.

Especially now that the weight gain recommendations are in flux, there's no "normal" anymore. If your OB isn't worried, then I'm sure you're fine.

I started my pregnancy pretty thin and I've probably gained less than 10 lbs - during my last pregnancy I gained 30 lbs total (although 10 lbs were water weight in the final few weeks). DS was plenty big and strong at birth, and I ate whatever/whenever I wanted to. I just think it's so different from person to person that as long as my OB is cool with it, then I'm cool with it.

x0stephanie · March 2011

I'm 21 weeks and have gained 11 lbs. It's almost all been in 2nd tri though, ugh.

cemacmil · March 2011

I have to weigh in again today for my journal but as of last Thursday 19 weeks I was up almost 6lbs from starting weight but I lost 4 lbs from starting weight in first tri from ms. So I guess that puts me at 10 lbs.

Too much Embarrassed

TristaD81 · March 2011

+4 at 20 weeks here. I was a little overweight to start with so that's a good track for me.

Baileysmommy2007 · March 2011

I will be 21 weeks tomorrow and am at - 8lbs from pre pregnancy. So i have gained nothing.

outlawed? who, when, why?

shelliescove3 · March 2011

I am 21 and up 14. I am not sure there is a "normal" anymore... As long as your eating reasonably and taking care of yourself your body will gain as much weight as it needs too. :-)

krisim · March 2011

I'm 20 weeks and up 1 pound. My doctor says everything is perfect and I'm sure yours would say something if he/she was worried.

I'm about 1500 weeks and up maybe 150 pounds from birth in 1981.

MommySteph2009 · March 2011

I am around 13 lbs and 21 weeks

magpiebride61210 · March 2011

19 weeks now, and by next week hopefully 5lbs gained.

i switched jobs at 12 weeks. the 9lbs i had gained by then was lost, plus another 6lbs to boot between my 12 week and 17 week appointment. i went from sitting behind a desk to working with kids, lifting babies and running around ALLLLL day.

so hopefully by next week i'm up at least 5 lbs.

dairygirl19 · March 2011

7 pounds. I just gained 2 in the last week and a half. Otherwise it was 5 for weeks and weeks.

My dr. wasn't worried but told me to eat more (I do already, on days I like food) but that's because I'm on the smaller side in the first place. He said straight up it would make me feel better in some ways, but it was fine for now.

Everyone's so different. By this time in my last pregnancy I had gained 15 pounds then it leveled.

I'm waiting for 3rd tri to catch up with me.

ohashlet · March 2011

19 and 4

ashland · March 2011

19 weeks

About 10 gained..it fluctuates depending on if I eat pizza or salad during the day! Wink

HappyKlamb10 · March 2011

if i remember correctly, the posts were "outlawed" because weight is not something that you can really judge using other people...you are going to gain weight at the rate that is healthy for you, and comparing to others on here is only a method of making people feel bad about themselves.

that said, since most people that have posted have listed gains much less than mine, i'll share that i'm 23 weeks and up 16 lbs. slightly more than "normal" but my doc said it's fine at my appt yesterday. if your doc was worried, they would tell you.

lcunningham · March 2011

18w 5d at my appointment today...up 7lbs and my doctor told me I looked skinny! I thought she was going to make a comment because the 7lbs all came in the last week.

damabo80 · March 2011

20w, 5 lbs.

As long as your doctor says it's normal, then it's normal. Internet strangers comparing isn't going to make one person's gain healthy or not.

x0stephanie · March 2011

I know people hate this topic but it made me feel a bit better about my 11 lb gain. I thought it was a lot but I feel more normal now.

lovesdogs13 · March 2011

I'm 22 weeks and I've gained 4 lbs. My dr said it was fine and baby is on the smal side but not because I don't eat or haven't gained enough weight but because of genetics (mh and I are both shorties)!

I'm 20 weeks and I have gained 8 pounds. It's all been here lately and it kinda freaks me out, but I keep reminding myself I need to gain!

MrsCase1 · March 2011

18 weeks and i have gained 5 pounds.

bealskri · March 2011

I'll admit it. I am 22 weeks, and have gained 17 pounds. I was average weight before. My doctor is not concerned at all, I ask at every appointment. I eat healthy and exercise 5 days per week.

ConfuzzledTrish · March 2011

I've gained 4-5 pounds at 22 weeks pregnant.

amygoable · March 2011

21 weeks and nothing! I was a teeny bit overweight to begin with (5'4" and 150) from my last baby - 7 months was not quite enough to lose the weight! So I suppose I'm sitting about where I should at this point!

Off topic:

I have a co-worker who got pregnant and delivered 25 pounds below when she started!! Now she is down about 40 overall!! CRAZY!!!

chocoholicchick · March 2011

22wks and I've gained 8 pounds.

mpaden · March 2011

I am 19 weeks and I have gained 5lb. I clearly look as though I have gained a small, dense watermelon. I think the baby may be stealing off of the 15lb I have left over in my butt and thighs from DD's birth a short 2 years ago

Also, I have a friend who gained NOTHING with each of her boys, and after the last one was born, she nursed and lost like 20lb! Sweet! One of my friends said her mom gained like 85lb with her- surely couldn't tell today, the woman has a super thin build Everyone is different!
