I'm 33 wks and have gained about 30 lbs. Does my weight seem ok for my length of gestation and how much should I expect to gain? Before I was prego I was 135..not I'm at 165.

the guidlines are defined for 0lbs during your first 12 weeks (up to 4 lbs water weight)
and .8-1.2lbs /week after that with any thing over 40lbs or under 15lbs total putting you and the baby at risk
so with 7 weeks to go you should gain 5.6-8.4lbs

sounds about normal...maybe just a smidge high (by the time you're done)...but not dangerous at all. You're in a good safe acceptable range. Generally it depends on your starting weight...but they don't like you to exceed 40.
From what I understand, we're suppossed to gain at least a pound a week till the end... I've also heard the we will usually lose 3 to 5 pounds right before labor.

iv gained about 40 lbs and ill b 29 weeks tomorow, i mean like very1 is different. you might gain alot or little, like i siad every1 is different... dont worrie about your weight, cuz you have a wonderful child growing inside of you, as long as the baby is healthy you should be thankful and also youll lose about 30 lb like 6 weeks after birth so youll go back to ur normal weight any ways.

well i gained about 30 pounds with my son .. it all depends on what type of activities you do while prego. i didnt get to eat much b/c EVERYTHING made me sick .. i could scarf down a whole thing of saltine crackers though !! haha. once you have the baby the weight will slowly but surely come right off ..i wouldnt be worrying about weight right now when you have a beautiful gift sent from god straight to you GROWING inside of you .. GOOD LUCK
