    Do you read previous posts?  There are like three weight questions posted on each page everyday... please check them out before you post a similar post.  It can be frustrating for readers.

    Do you have a pregnancy book?  Do you read it?  Is there a section about weight-gain?  I'm sure there is...

    Normal is whatever you and your dr decide is best for your situation.

    12 lbs sounds good for 18 weeks. Definitely not excessive. If you gain too much your dr won't hesitate to tell you, lol.

    First of all please ignore the first poster. All women should feel free to ask away on these boards and not have to read every post to be sure we are not re-posting. Ugh!

    I have gained about 15 lbs and my doctor is not concerned. I was about 110 lbs when I got pregnant so my body needed to pack on some weight. I have started walking now that the weather has warmed up a little, so hoping that will help. I gained 75 lbs with my DD, so I am on a way better track this time aorund.

    If weight posts annoy you don't open them, it was plainly labeled in the title.

     This. 

    To the OP:  I was also 120 prior to conception and I'm pushing 15 lbs gain, and my doctor is not concerned at all.  HTH!

    Exactly!  Some people feel the need to complain about something!

    Anyway, sounds to me like you are right on track.  Everyone is different and some people will gain more than others.  If you do an online search, you can find many different pregnancy weight gain calculators to get an idea of where you should be.  But again, everyone is different and these should be used just to get an idea.

    There is no normal. I gain close to nothing in the first 20 weeks. If you are concerned, you should talk to your doctor.
