how much weight have you gained so far.

ewochnick · April 2011

I was just wondering how much weight everyone has gained since they found out they were pregnant. I had my 24 week appointment today and first of all hate the scale at the Docs but I have gained 12 according to their scale. I know its all about baby right now, but still feel horrible that I am gaining weight and really dont want to go over what my doc told me.

That doesn't sound bad to me at all for 24 weeks? With DS, I gained 60 pounds. I felt like, even when I tried, I just kept gaining and gaining. But, I didn't exercise much until 3rd tri, so I think that made a difference.

This pregnancy, I've only gained 1 pound so far. I really watch what I eat and walk at least 40 minutes/day.

ohyeahdollface · April 2011

Ive gained 13 so far.

They want me to gain at least 1-2 pound more a week until my due date.

Cherbear013 · April 2011

I had my 22 week appointment today. I have gained 12 lbs since I found out I was pregnant. That seems like its right on track to gain the 20-30 lbs by the end. I try not to feel bad about it since its natural and for the baby. Luckily I have a long torso so its not showing too much yet

ChelseaCC · April 2011

I've only gained 4lbs so far which is kinda concerning but I've been pretty sick with this pregnancy so I didn't really expect to gain alot.

ewochnick · April 2011

I guess I am just really scared to go back to the weight I was way before pregnancy. I think I am just freaking out....I guess its been one of those days.

Stellasmom · April 2011

I've gained 9 lbs and am 22 wks along.

citygirl22 · April 2011

I gained 2 pounds in the 1st trimester. I just had an appt last week and I added another 10 (I'm 25 weeks).

rab41380 · April 2011

Let me make you all feel better, I have gained 30lbs! I would love to have only gained 12 lbs!

SugarQueen101 · April 2011

14.5 lbs as of 17w5 days! Doc says that I'm doing great!

Nanner22 · April 2011

I've lost 15.... Yuck! I hate being sick all the time.

Saltina11 · April 2011

I'm trying to keep it to 25-30 lbs gain total to be in that recommended "healthy" range (per my doctor). I'm 24w tomorrow, and I've gained 13 lbs. Now to just not gain more than 1 lb per week for the remainder of this pregnancy... that will be the challenge!

bumpuser5468658 · April 2011

Gained 12.5 lbs so far at 14 wks

Karen1998 · April 2011

Not a single pound. I'm still down all of what I lost as well. My doctor's not worried and neither am I. That's really your test - is your doctor worried about your weight gain? If s/he's not, then you shouldn't be either.

elynds · April 2011

19 weeks and I've gained 10-12 (hard to say, I lost a few in the beginning and then gained a few back to where I was). Dr. says I'm doing great, so I'm good with that.

nikkimouse323 · April 2011

I've gained 2 pounds, I am 18 weeks.

megd06 · April 2011

as of my 19 wk checkup (technically my "20 wk")--5 lbs.

KariChadDora · April 2011

1 lb at 14 weeks. My BMI starting out was 26, so just barely overweight. My OB would like me to only gain 15-25 lbs total and I hope to stay within that. I gained 38 lbs with my first and had gained 6-7 lbs by this point in that pregnancy so I think I am right on track for this one.

SMJ1106 · April 2011

I've lost 6 lbs. so far... M/S is awful. I have a good week where I will not get sick at all... and then a week like this one where I don't keep a single thing down for 5 days so the total fluctuates between -2 to -6 lbs.

hepcats · April 2011

12 is really good, especially for 24 weeks. I'm 25 and I've gained 15. The basic rule (from what I understand) is 1-5 pounds in first tri and then 1 pound a week after that. So, if you think of 1 pound for the first 13 weeks and then 11 pounds for each week thereafter, you're right on target.

Elsker · April 2011

At 17 weeks I've gained 3 lbs. I lost a lot during the food aversion/ms phase, though

lovelymissautumn · April 2011

Weight gain really depends on a few things...like what your weight was pp. If you were overweight to begin with, your doc prob talked to you about how much weight to gain. Same if you were underweight. I have a petite build standing at about 5'3 and 118 lbs pp. Now I'm at about 122. I'm TRYING to gain weight and am nervous about not getting enough to my LO but the a/s came back good with her weight and my doc isn't worried about mine.

water-fairy · April 2011

4lbs at 18 weeks... but if it goes like the first time, I'll gain everything in the second half. With DS I gained a total of 32lbs, 27 of which came after 20 weeks.

12bailey18 · April 2011

20 lbs. at 24 weeks. Nobody is concerned and it's not a big deal. It's completely normal for me, right around where I was at last time too.

tiff012982 · April 2011

as of this morning, 9 lbs (21w3d) I feel like I have gained 5 of these lbs in the past two weeks.

TanyaKM · April 2011

I'm up about 5 pounds at 20 weeks. I've been running regularly throughout my pregnancy though, so I think that helps.

+diana82+ · April 2011

I lb at my last appt. I think it's closer to 2 or 3 but maybe not, their scale is usually harsher than mine. I'm overweight to start though still from my last pregnancy.

othello888 · April 2011

1st month of pregnancy 122, now I'm 142. I gained all the weight from 20 weeks on. I was the same (141 according to my chart) at this time with first pregnancy and finished up at 146...hoping I will do the same.

lovelyophelia · April 2011

I've lost 24 lbs so far. I guess I'll see if I've gained any back on Tuesday.

sandj7152010 · April 2011

This is my first pregnancy, I have gained 16 lbs. Dr isn't worried, just had an appointment Wednesday and she said weight looked good, so I'm not worried.

Mrs. Alice · April 2011

About 15 lbs so far. The last couple weeks it's been a steady couple lbs a week. With twins it's important to gain the most weight in the 1st and 2nd trimester so I'm right on track.

MadelineLAnselmo · April 2011

Gained 10 pounds and I'm at 16 weeks. I keep freaking out thinking I've gained too much too quickly. It's hard to watch what you eat when your hungry ALL THE TIME!

acaver · April 2011

I've lost 5 lbs....I was a little overweight before pregnancy, so now that I've been eating healthier food and going for a walk every day, I think I'm losing weight in places other than the belly

kim1989 · April 2011

Ive only gained 4lb so far

The dr told me to start eating more but Im already eating loads more! I feel like Im constantely eating

ConfuzzledTrish · April 2011

I'm up about 9-10 pounds.

AmandaRoxann · April 2011

rab41380:
Let me make you all feel better, I have gained 30lbs! I would love to have only gained 12 lbs!

Me too! Well last time I checked anyways. I'm almost 25 weeks. I've been too scared to get on the scale the last week so I'm not sure if I've gained more. I refuse to step on the scale again until my next ob appt. I can't wait to hear what she has to say about all this weight I've gained... she always has something to say... oh well.

Kml9876 · April 2011

Iam 16 weeks and lost weight in the first trimester and am now at my pre-pregnancy weight

toriat04 · April 2011

I'm 17 wks and gained 3-4 lbs. I fluctuate. I run too though, so I'm sure that's keeping the weight off. As silly as it sounds, I too am nervous about gaining, even though that's what you are "supposed" to do. It's hard to watch those numbers climb after trying so hard to keep them down. It's all good though, I'm enjoying eating whatever I want for once

annak23 · April 2011

1 pound, I don't restrain myself when eating nor do I excercise. I think my Dr's scale is off! lol!

ktb31 · April 2011

Um yeah, 12 is nothing. Think I'd gained 20 by 20 weeks...enough for everyone and their mom to comment on how huge I am:) No worries, everyone is different, if your dr said you were gaining ok (and that sounds right on) then you are fine! It's 25-35 lbs if you start at a normal weight.
