I am 16 weeks and 5 days and I have already gained 19lbs. This seems like waaay too much. Just wanted to see what you other ladies are averaging.
(Started at 150 and now at 169)

I lost 7 pounds during my first trimester (really really bad morning sickness). I am now 15 pounds heavier than my prepregnancy weight, which means that since the end of my first trimester, I've gained 22 pounds (I was so excited to be able to eat again!)
I'm 25 weeks pregnant currently.

I am 31 weeks and I have gained 28 lbs. I'm gaining a little more with this baby then my first, but when I lost my baby weight before, I actually went below my starting weight. I figure if I only start at 108, I probably need to gain a good 35 lbs, so I'm not worried at all.

11 weeks and 5 days I have not been on the scale this week so this is just a guess but i would say 7-10 lbs. I am a big girl to begin with and I quit smoking so not all of the weight gain is from being pregnant.

Just keep in mind that every woman is completely different, and as long as you are eating healthy, getting plenty of water, and your doctor isn't alarmed, then there's no real reason to worry. That being said first, I'm a petite girl (5'1" and about 110 pre-pregnancy) and just entered my 30th week. I've only gained about 20 pounds (my next appointment is on Monday so I can't give you the exact number yet), all in the belly area. People keep telling me I'm hiding a basketball under my shirt. I wish the rest of me would bulk up a bit because when I wear long sleeved shirts, my arms look like twigs! I resemble a bloated Ethiopian at this point, lol.

The statistics say the average weight gain is 25-30lbs. But I was 135 before I got pregnant and now at 38 weeks I weigh 176 lbs so I've gained 41 lbs. If you are concerned about your weight gain talk to your ob/gyn and they can tell you what is normal for you and your pregnancy. Good Luck and Congratulations!

At my 19 week checkup last Friday, I gained a total of 11 pounds. With my first, I only got to 31 weeks before he was born and already gained 30 pounds, and would have gained more if I went full term. I think that as long as you eat healthy (although I can't help myself to ice cream sundaes every now and then) and your doctor said everything is progressing fine, you should be ok.

I am 38 weeks and just now as of yesterday gained 21 lbs. But I had trouble gaining at first so don't worry everyone is different you might slow down some at the end and if not then that is just how your body needs to work.

Oh, boy, it is an issue for me because I gained so much weight with my previous pregnancy (44 lb - 20 Kg) and didn't want the same now... I am 24 weeks and put on 22 lb (10 kg).. I was 118 lb (54 kg) in the beginning. I lost all the weight I gained on my first pregnancy, but i did feel sooo heavy and it bothered me. Well, enough complaining - i got myself in excellent shape and I will do it again, 8 years later !!

I'm 28 weeks, have gained 20 so far (if you count the five I lost in the first trimester and gained back).
You should gain about 30-35 pounds to be healthy, more if you were a thin person to begin with, less if you were not.
