I have gained about 7 pounds and am at 17 weeks. With my other babies- some of which were early - I gained a total of 15 pounds- but I am short/small- and yes- the doctors were telling me to gain MORE ...

I donno how much I gained at T-giving- but my non preggo sister gained 6 pounds- so she is feeling a bt unhappy with herself- beig that I AM the preggo one and gained about the same.

Like Ruby, I was actually thinking I would be gaining more than the norm too, especially since I was already close to 35 lbs at about 32 weeks...but then my weight totally stagnated. And for the past 5 weeks, I've only gone from 160 lbs to 161.5. My doctor doesn't seem concerned, though, and my baby is growing well (she's actually measuring a little big for her gestational age), so all is fine. Just thought that's kinda interesting...

WOW, this is interesting how we are all going at different rates. It would be interesting to see where we are after Xmas, for those of us that get that far....LOL

I had gained 20 lbs by the 23-week point, before Thanksgiving. I haven't had the courage to get on the scale since, haha.

I have already gained more than my sister gained in her entire pregnancy! I think I'm going to be one of those women who gains a lot. I really didn't expect to be-- I didn't start out heavy and I swear I'm not stuffing my face... but the weight just keeps piling on!

My Thanksgiving was Oct., but I stayed away from the scale for a bit afterwards...just didn't want to know..lol.  However, at 32 weeks I have now gained 32 lbs.  I have found it has been fluctuating a bit the last few weeks...gain a few, lose a few...weird.

My weight actually stagnated over Thanksgiving...but I think it's just the stage I'm at right now (it certainly wasn't a lack of eating!!!). I'm 37 weeks and I've gained about 35 lbs.
