Lets share how much weight we've gained!

JNoelleE · December 2011

I'm almost 20 weeks and am about 6-10lbs heavier. (not sure of my exact weight before I got pregnant, it has always fluctuated.) I guess I'm only suppose to gain 25lbs since I was considered 10-14lbs overweight prior to pregnancy? I think I deserve to gain 35.

What about you? How much have you gained?

Tippy05 · December 2011

At 17 wks I'm up about 5-7 lbs, depending on the day.

jewls261521 · December 2011

I'm also 17 weeks, and I've gained about 8 lbs.

elli-m-f · December 2011

I am almost 20 weeks... actually I think according to my tickers I am 20 weeks today. I have only gained maybe two pounds. I think these two pounds might be here to stay, so yay! Usually I lose them within a couple of days, but these two seem to be sticking.

FyreFlyeRush · December 2011

At 16w, I was up 8lbs, but I'd also lost 8 in the first trimester...so, Net?

Ask your doctor about weight gain. Mine wants me at 25-30 and I'm a LOT more than 15lbs overweight.

Dana&Pete · December 2011

I was worried I was gaining too much, but I saw the doctor yesterday and I am up 8 pounds, which she said is normal. I feel like all I do is eat these days!

NewlywedInNewYork · December 2011

As of this morning I am up 10 lbs, and I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow. I'm so depressed about it. I was doing great up to Thanksgiving and had gained 6 lbs at 16 weeks. I have been eating like a pig for the last 2 weeks clearly, and I type this as I'm sitting here eating Christmas cookies.

ClaireOtoms · December 2011

I lost 5 and then gained around 10, so I'm up 5 from prepregnancy. I'm 19 weeks.

bellelamb · December 2011

I'm 19 weeks with my third and I'm up 7 lbs. I'm gaining about the same as I did with ds #2 and hoping to keep my weight under control though Christmas since pregnant or not I gain at this time of year.

jlsweets · December 2011

At my 17 week appt I was up 9lbs! My dr says, "Oh I can see someone put on a lot of turkey weight!" Ummmm thanks? Then she said that it was ok and I was still on track..well see what hapens when my appt is 2 days after Christmas! haha

Jnkpnch80 · December 2011

16 weeks and up 6.

kyynel · December 2011

I am 17weeks on paper but my babies growth is more of a 20week old and I have lost 13lbs.

Jess & Drew · December 2011

At 17 weeks, I was up 3 lbs. Not sure what I am this week as I have gone a little bit crazy with all the baked goods people are bringing in to work, and I'm too afraid to get on the scale.

NatPhoto09 · December 2011

I'm 16 weeks today and I'm up 3 lbs. I'm a slow gainer in the beginning but I'm feeling my appetite come back.

ebl2 · December 2011

At my 17 week appt. last week I was up 9 pounds.

13pickle · December 2011

This is how I am too. I think I am finally back at my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost 7 pounds or so in the 1st tri. With DS I was slowly gaining it back and then WHAM. On comes the weight!

I was 15 lbs overweight on the nose when I got pregnant, and my doctor wants me to gain 25 - 35 lbs... I would ask.

Babymakessix · December 2011

At my 16 week appt, I was up 10 lbs. I eat pretty much nonstop and all the baking this month I am sure will not help. We will see on Friday how much I have gained at my 20 week appt.

ELF4321 · December 2011

As of my 18 wk appt yesterday, I'm up 7 lbs. My OB said that was doing "great" and according to the online calculator I'm still within the range I should be in (gain 15-20 lbs because I was overweight to start with). My OB said she'd be comfortable with 25 lbs, but I'm going to try to NOT take her up on that.

iheartkeith · December 2011

I am 16.5 weeks and I have lost about 6 lbs since finding out I was pregnant. None of it has come back yet.

firstbabylees · December 2011

16 weeks and up 4 lbs. Was up 6 but at the last doc appt was only 4? I guess maybe the bloat went away?

The guidelines for pregnancy weight gain were lowered in 2009 but many OBs still quote the "old" numbers (which were way higher than numbers used in other countries and higher than recommended based on more recent research).

Under the newer guidelines, for someone "overweight" pre-pregnancy (BMI 25-30), the current guidelines call for 15-25 lbs. For those "obese" according to BMI (over 30 BMI), they call for 11-20 lbs. That's why I'm aiming to stay under 20 even though my OB said 25 would be fine (my pre-pregnancy BMI was 31).

wypadek · December 2011

At my 16 week appt I was up 8 pounds.

Manda3596 · December 2011

I'm down 10 since finding out I'm pregnant.

pc150805 · December 2011

19 weeks. Up 3lbs.

lissa339 · December 2011

At my 18 week appointment I was still down 3 lbs. My Ob isn't worried about it and neither am I.

J&PJax · December 2011

20wks tomorrow and up 3lbs. started out about 30 lbs overweight, so i'm happy w/ 3lbs at this point . began treatment for hypothyropidism at onset of pregnancy, so feel like getting my thyroid under control is helping me.

Pelly · December 2011

I was about 5 pounds when I weighed in at my doctor's appt yesterday.

ekd816 · December 2011

At my appointment yesterday I was up 4 pounds and I'm 16 weeks.

valroberts2002 · December 2011

I am 16 and a half weeks, and last appointment I had lost 7. Not sure a loss is in my future this time around. Sometimes baby wants what baby wants and it is not always a small meal.

kcwags · December 2011

17 weeks and I'm up 1 pound. I've been very very sick throughout my pregnancy though, and I was overweight before anyway, so my doctor isn't too worried yet.

bishigurlwcu · December 2011

I'm still oddly down 6.5 pounds (as of last thursday), I had lost around 8 pounds first tri so Now that i am loving food again i'm sure it will go up ALOT lol

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOMMIES!

nicotico106 · December 2011

When I went for my appt at 9 weeks, i was up 4 pounds, when I went for 12 week I was up 3 more pounds. Yesterday I went for my 16 week, and I lost 4 pounds. So I have only gained 3 pounds total. I think some of that had to do with constipation going away..ha

hurricanelydiaa · December 2011

18 weeks, I have gained 6 pounds.

annerz22 · December 2011

I find it interesting to see how different women gain during pregnancy. I kind of find the guidelines silly in the sense that everyone is so different in the rate that they gain!

So far, I am 18 weeks and up 10lbs as of my apt a week ago. I don't weigh myself at home becuase after years of eating disorders and body issues, it's easier for me just to have the dr do it. I will say, I'm happy with my weight gain so far since it seems to only be in my boobs, belly, and butt. I was on the small side to begin with so the dr said 35lbs is what I should expect to gain.

MrsW2000 · December 2011

I've gained back 6 of the 11 pounds I lost due to m/s.

EmilyP103 · December 2011

I'll be 17weeks tomorrow and I'm at my pre-preg weight. I was up a pound at my 10w appt and then didn't have another appt until almost 16w and I was 1lb under my pre-preg weight. (I got really sick with strep and had NO appetite.) Now that I'm feeling better, I think I've probably gained that pound back so like I said, back to the starting weight. Doctor said it's fine.

GerberDaisies3 · December 2011

Wow! I think I have gained about the most here! I am 19 weeks and am up 16 pounds. I always tend to gain a lot in pregnancy. I am hoping when I go for my appointment on Friday, that my doctor says it's fine. I gained 63 with my DD and 42 with my DS, so I was really hoping to keep it around 30 this time. I was able to lose every bit of the baby weight after each child so I am not going to fret too much!
