how much have you gained so far?

delbride2006 · December 2008

I'm in my 22nd week and have already packed on 24 lbs. I know I have been eating too much and I never got back on the exercise bandwagon after the morning sickness subsided. I just joined the gym last week and have been swimming laps... so hopefully I can control myself from excessive gaining.

Mrs.JDD · December 2008

With my first I gained just about a pound a week right along, and then a little more at the end for an almost 50-pound gain. So far this time I have gained 18 pounds in almost 24 weeks, so I'm doing much better! haha

nikinoodles · December 2008

I've gained about 16-17 lbs so far. I'm 26w 3d. Dont worry though, everyone is different. I actually look pretty big....as I gained the weight pretty fast with this being my second...and my belly popped right out.

Here's a poll from earlier:

Nothing so far. I am only shy of 14 weeks though--> so, I expect that I will start seeing a gain soon.

blueeyedgirl27 · December 2008

I weigh myself every Sunday morning so don't know what my weight is at this week, but as of last Sunday I've gained 16 lbs at 26 weeks. I don't exercise as much as I should, but do try to do things like take the stairs instead of the elevator, park far away from the entrance when going to work or shopping, etc. Also helps that I eat multiple small meals throughout the day, rather than 3 large ones, and try to stay away from sugary drinks and junk food (although peppermint stick ice cream is currently my weakness).

Ditto - I'm down a pound right now, but I JUST started 2nd tri today and have pregnancy related hyperthyroid and no appetite still so I'm not the norm (plus I started out significantly overweight which I know sometimes results in less weight gain). Last time I had gained 23 lbs by 23 weeks (with twins) so I'm sure I'll start catching up soon.

Tommygrl14 · December 2008

2 lbs..I'm 19w4d

DNK777 · December 2008

I lost 15, but gained 5 back. I had really bad m/s up to 22 weeks though.

J&MsMom · December 2008

Nothing so far. At this point with DD I had gained 25lbs.

I have been super sick.

Kyla Sisco · December 2008

24 weeks: 8 pounds

mrsjazzsinger · December 2008

I was up 3-4 pounds at my 16 week appointment - I was really sick from week 9 on (until this past week) though so I'm just starting to gain.

Mrslove78 · December 2008

I am afraid to look, I have to turn my head when I get on the scale at the docs office. The doc told me my weight is fine, but it's too hard on me to know my weight, even though it's totaly acceptable to gain weight when your pregnant.

HaveFaith08 · December 2008

I have gained about 4 pounds thus far....

mommy411 · December 2008

momquixote · December 2008

I just finished 2nd tri and have put on 25 lbs. I think it would be more by now but in the last couple weeks I just don't have the same appetite or room for food that I did a few weeks ago...

Didn't we already talk about this earlier?

Erica102106 · December 2008

30 lbs.

pinkbride07 · December 2008

At my last appointment I was only up 1 pound. I had lost 5 pounds at the previous appointment and then gained 6 for a total of 1. I weighed myself last nights and had gained another 6. Since I ate a whole contaienr of fudge in 2 days I would say that it will be higher soon.

3PupsAndABaby · December 2008

i was up 3 pounds in 1st tri and lost some so now i've gained a total of half a pound at 13 weeks 3 days. i'm sure i'll be packing on the pounds soon but i am a little overweight so i'm trying my best to maintain my weight! gotta get my butt back in the gym

Bellisimo · December 2008

15 lbs. so far

PinkBackPack · December 2008

I've only gained 8 and am just finishing 2nd trimester, but I weighed 195 to begin with.

sars1202 · December 2008

Negative Nine so far. But I had some to lose in the first place.

LyndsRae · December 2008

I've gained about 22 lbs so far and I am 23 weeks. And believe me, people have been making me feel like crap about it. My doctor actually said "you are well on your way to the 40 lb mark by delivery." I was kind of excited, but HE meant it in a bad way. He said since I was only 5'1" he would like to see me gain no more than 30 lbs. Needless to say I laughed in his face...although I felt like punching it.

JillBean78 · December 2008

I hate these polls because they tell you nothing about how much YOU will or will not gain. Gain is diff for everyone, some people might be overweight and gain very little, others that are underweight or at a normal weight will gain more than the overweight person. Some people have m/s and will lose weight. Some people gain slowly and some put on their weight in a matter of weeks. But I will answer the poll, but list my stats so it helps you out.

I'm 5'5", pre-pregnancy weight of 133 lbs.

At 25 weeks I had gained 16 lbs. BUT, I didn't gain but 2 lbs up through 18 weeks. So, see all mine came on at once, I was gaining like 2-3 lbs a week there for a while. Then the gain slowed down, last week I hadn't gained anything at all. I don't eat differently than I did pre-pregnancy and I workout at least 30 minutes 4x per week.

Jusgirl1082 · December 2008

I was 106 pre-preg weight. I have gained 6 lbs. now at 19 1/2 weeks. I am all belly!

beth thacker · December 2008

I've gained about 8 pounds so far. Once my morning sickness subsided a little I started eating like a pig! haha! I dont mind gaining the weight though. I know its from the baby and I will worry about losing it afterwards. I just don't want a huge baby to push out!

I agree! I could careless that I have gained 8 pounds so far and i'm only 16 weeks. I'm sure i'll gain a hell of a lot more! I eat what I want. If i'm craving a big candy bar I will eat one and wash it down with water. (: haha!

meldoo2002 · December 2008

25 pounds.

Stacey25** · December 2008

I weighed 140lbs before I got pregnant and now I weigh 161lbs. So 21lbs! I'm 5'10 and I was slim to begin with so I'm carrying the weight well, thank goodness and I have plenty of torso space. But at 26 weeks as of the 26th of December, there still happens to be time to gain more weight. Yikes!

CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!

ejgballerina · December 2008

I've gained 4 lbs so far.

TennisWife815 · December 2008

I gained 5 lbs in the first trimester, and one in the fourth month. I'm going in on Tuesday, so we'll see how much I'm at now. I predict a total gain of 10lbs.
