How much weight did you gain?

Question

I went to the doctor when I was 12 weeks and I weighed 122 pounds. I went again when I was about 16 weeks and I had only gained 1/2 pound. I don't go again till the 18th of December and I will be about 20 weeks. Do you remember how much you weighed whe you were that far along?

Answer 1

I have three kids.

#1: I was sick the whole time and only gained 16 pounds total. At 20 weeks I had only gained about 8 pounds.

#2: I ate better and gained 33 pounds the whole pregnancy. At 20 weeks I had gained 18 pounds.

#3: Boy this one was a huge gain! lol I gained 36 pounds. At 20 weeks I had already gained about 20 pounds. But I was eating like crazy and I will admit that it was not "all" baby.
Good luck, and believe me at the end, you'll want to lose weight!

Answer 2

I gained a total of 2 pounds until I hit 20 weeks, then I went up a lot! I am 31 weeks now and gained about 25 pounds.

Answer 3

Every pregnancy is different. This time round for me I hadn't put on more than a pound or two by 20 weeks and then all of a sudden about 23/24 weeks I started piling on the pounds. I am now 27 wks and have put on about 14 lbs in total. Usually I put on about 28-30 lbs throughout the pregnancy.

Answer 4

At 20 weeks I had gained about 8 pounds total. At 29 weeks now I'm up to 14 total. But it goes up in weird little spurts I tend to stay the same for a few wekks then gain a couple over a week.

Answer 5

Answer 6

At 20 weeks, I had gained about 10-15 lbs.

Answer 7

i gained about 35 pounds...it will start increasing more into the pregnancy. Most of the weight is blood and water volume. Remembe the baby is only on average about 7 pounds. Consider yourself lucky if you aren't gaining a lot. I didn't gain too much in the first and second trimester.

Answer 8

I gained the text book 4 lbs a month until the later part of my pregnancy I tacked on 8 lbs in one two week period. So it was about a total of 50 lbs or so. I've lost all but 23 lbs of it in 9 months and I haven't been trying. But I've started to pick up the pace this week...I'm tired of being frumpy...lol. I've got that tired mommy look working.

Answer 9

at 18 weeks i had only gained 1 pound since the day i got pregnant

Answer 10

Dr. always want you to gain 25 to 30lbs. but you may not gain that much. it depends on your body, just make sure that you eat right, and you should have nothing to worry about. I had my baby 6 mos ago, and with that pregnancy, I only gained 7lbs. Doctor said it was ok as long as I was eating normally. I was all baby anyway.
