16-17 weekers-what's your gain so far?

I have only gained maybe 5-6 lbs so far, but look like I gained 15 (at least). I did really great with DS1 so hoping I do this time too, but I think with DS1 I gained about 8-9 lbs at this point.

Re: 16-17 weekers-what's your gain so far?
I have gained 8 and I'm 16 weeks. I was a little nervous because at my checkup 4 weeks ago, I had gained 1, so that means 7 lbs in 4 weeks, but my doc wasn't worried either. Her exact words were "finally! You gained some weight!" That made me feel better, but she said I shouldn't do that every 4 weeks, maybe my body just had some making up to do. Have a great weekend everyone! Hard to worry about our weight with all these amazing pumpkin goodies out there right now! Lol
17 weeks and up 4-5 lbs and also feeling like it is a lot more since I'm showing already baby 2 . With DD I was up 10 lbs at 20 weeks so I'm on the same track. I gained a majority of the 35 lbs in the last 12 weeks with my daughter and was barely eating. Your body will gain what it wants so try not to stress. Last time I was worried because I was gaining so little early on and didn't gain anything until 17 weeks but I caught up real fast
4-5 lbs...not 45
Do you mean 4-5 lbs.?
I'm up 13 lbs. It's so hard to watch the scales go up when I had been trying so hard to make them go down.

"It is never too late to be what you might have been.
i was up 3 the first trimester (thanks to carb heavy dinners helping with my "evening "sickness) then a whopping 6 lbs the first month of my 2nd tri for a total of 9...despite a much better diet and still doing cross fit/running 5-6x a week. Sadly, I think I'm just going to gain more weight than I like despite my best intentions. I decided after this week I;m ignoring the scale and not looking when the doctor has me step on it. At this point, I've just accepted the inevitable

I've gained about 10 as well. Most of that in the first 11 weeks as well. I find out in a couple of days how much more I've gained. I popped out early so I wouldn't be surprised if I gained a little more than average, but I am OK with that.

I lost about 20 lbs but gained 2 back in the past few weeks. But No one is the same so it doesn't really matter. I am plus sized, so Midwives only want me to gain 10 lbs, 15 max... I still haven't gotten my appetite back - just trying to eat a balanced diet...

Just because something isn't happening for you right now doesn't mean it will never happen.

Me too. I had the same thing - all day morning sickness so bad for the 1st tri, all I could eat was fruit, pizza, crackers and fries. I'm up 10 lbs from my 4 week appointment which was when my OB started tracking weight. I know I gained about 4 lbs between conception and 4 weeks, mostly because I was on vacation. I came back like, man I gained some weight - time to hit the gym and diet.... and then got a BFP. However, at my appointment last week my OB said my weight gain was "perfect" and not to worry about a thing.
I agree with PP - everyone is different and we shouldn't get fixated on how much (or how little) we're gaining as long as we are eating right. It's recommended to work out 30 mins every day, so if you are concerned about gain I would do that but still eat! I couldn't work out due to being sick, which may explain my gain. But I'm not going to try to undo that, just focus on good exercise going forward to stay as fit as possible.
