how much weight have you gained ?

im almost 21 week pregnant and i've only gained 6 lbs since i got pregnant I'm 5'5 and before weight  was 145 now im 151. Im still fitting into all my size 5 pants and only have the slightest little baby bump those who dont know im pregnant dont notice im pregnant. I have appointment with my Dr. on the 8th and ill ask if my weight gain is ok but for now i'd like to hear what you ladies think how much did you gain though out your pregnancy and how much had/have you gained at 20 weeks?

At 20 weeks nothing (although cos of morning sickness I lost 15/16 pounds) I'm 22 weeks and gained 4 pounds but that goes down and back to what I'm at now each week
I mentioned it to my midwife and she said they arnt that bothered bout weight gain as much as they used to be as long as the baby is growing and developing as it such be, she said someone for my weight it's fine to stay about the same,  oh n she said unless your really skinny or excessively over weight, then the only weigh you twice at 12 weeks and 36 weeks

As long as baby is showing itself to be healthy and is growing weight isnt horribly important. Most of it comes near the end anyways. I never gained weight in my pregnancy and ended up losing.

16 weeks and gained only 2 pounds. I was 98 pounds pre pregnant. With my first pregnancy due to drinks two 2 liters of MTN Dew a day I gained up to 140 lol

With both of my pregnancies, I hadn't gained anything by week 20, but I had horrible morning sickness. I lost 6-8 pounds and didn't gain any of that back until I was 25-28 weeks. (then the last 10 weeks I gained a lot!) I'm only 9 weeks now and have already lost 9 pounds. Morning sickness is not fun!! My midwife was never concerned though.

I was 108 before I got pregnant, Im not positive what I was at 20 weeks, i think i prooly gained a good 13 lbs or maybe alil more..  I never lost weight thats for sure!! lol even though I had morning sickness like crazy until 13 weeks.. but at the end I was 150, so I gained a total of about 40lbs..  and I didnt eat healthy at all.. lol I ate donuts and cereal and oreos and pizza lol.. I did drink about 5 bottles of water and 2 glasses of milk a day.. only had a decaffieinated soda about every other week or so.. until the last 6 weeks i had a couple cherry cokes :)  

But you ladies shouldnt be drinking tht much soda :(

I was overweight but not seriously. I literally lost a bunch of weight from MS and then gained exactly the baby's weight worth and lost it all in the delivery room...that's how it happened with my daughter too. so just ask the doctor what he thinks but I wouldn't worry :-).

I am only 5'1", weighed 110 pounds before pregnancy. I am now 15 weeks and I have gained 8 pounds already!! :-(
I am 118 now!..    Because of bloating and my small size, I definitely look preggo now :)

[kylesMom09]

At twenty weeks I had gained 4 lbs.  When I was pregnant with my dd I only gained 16 lbs total.  If you are concerned about it talk to your Dr., but everyone is different so I wouldn't worry about it.

[emw11]

it varies on women but in the first trimester they say its healthy to gain anywhere from 3- 5 pounds..and a pound a week after that is considered healthy..but you may not start gaining alot of weight until about month 6 or so. good luck!

[avaortega407]
