im 30 weeks almost 31 and at my appointment last week I have gained just over 31lbs and i am nothing but belly I also only weighed 100lbs when I got pregnant because I have a very high metabolism but every person is differnt as long as your eating healthy and not just eating a bunch of junk I wouldnt worry about it you shouldnt worry about your weight while pregnant your baby needs the food to help grow etc

At my last appointment on the 11th, my total weight gain then was 17 pounds. I was 31w3d... now at 33w5d my weight went WAY up all of a sudden. (I have some swelling but I am very much all belly) Now I'm at a lovely 185 pounds! Lol... Started at 160. It's going in between numbers but I believe that most of mine came from my swelling and not drinking enough water as opposed to other things. Along with a growing baby and the other things in there developing. Back to drinking more water and my weight is slowly going back down.

Too much sugar & salt, not a good thing. I assure you lol :)

with my 1st pregnancy i gained a total of 26lbs and with my 2nd i gained 24lbs.... it depends on your body and how big you were when you got pregnant... dont stress you will have you ups and your downs with weight while pregnant.... its good for the baby to gain weight but not too much.. if your dr was worried they would say something to you...

Well as everyone has said everyone is different which is true. As im 20 weeks almost and have gained about 3lbs. It also depends on if you were under weight, normal weight, or over weight at the time.
