I'm 5 months pregnant and have already gained 25 lbs. A little more than I should have gained already, but during my first trimester my appetite was through the roof. I could out eat my husband some days. Second trimester has been slower weight gain since my appetite is more normal. But what also has contributed to some weight gain I'm sure is not eating or drinking the sugar free stuff which is what I always did prepregnancy. I just don't want to consume the artifical sweeteners while pregnant. I want a healthy baby, and if that means I'll have lots of weight to lose after the pregnancy, then so be it!

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and havn't really gained any weight lost actually. I started out at 160 and I'm 151 now. In the first 4 months I lost about 15 pounds and have only put 6 on in the last few weeks.

I am 5 months and I've gained about 6 pounds. But I was heavy to begin with. The recommended weight gain for overweight women is 15-20lbs overall. So, I think I'm doing ok. I'm just trying to eat well, small meals throughout the day. I really have to watch it because my sister gained 60lbs when she was pregnant. I really don't want that to happen. hehe.

I am 19 weeks and believe it or not, I haven't gained any weight with this pregnancy. I lost four pounds. Although with my first pregnancy, I went from 123lbs to 178lbs, but I drop 30 pounds in the first 4 weeks. My weight gain was consistent each month with that pregnancy. My eating habits was not that great. I was never a big eater but when I got pregnant, I barely left anything on my plates. With my second pregnancy which is now, my appetite is pretty normal and I eat but haven't gained any weight. It is very different for my first pregnancy. All I can say is watch what you eat and how much of it you eat. Donuts and Ma-Ma's sweet potato pies did me in for my first pregnancy!lol Oh, I was 144lbs, now I am 140lbs. Never quite got back to my original size.

i was pregnant 40 weeks the first time
38 weeks the second time and 42 weeks the 3rd time and 37 weeks the forth time your supposed to go 40 weeks.
as far as weight gain i gained a whopping 60 lbs with the first 30 with the second and 20 the third time then i lost it all and gained 40 the last time and that was 9 years ago and i am still fighting to get it off.
but if you watch what you eat and exercise then you won't have a problem with weight....besides it was all Worth it to me

I'm 21 weeks and have gained 17 pounds with my first child. That's a pound and a half a week once my morning sickness tapered off. It feels odd to me since I've always had a very stable weight, but I figure it's what my body needs. Onward and upward!
