I am 24 weeks and have only gained 7lbs. It really just depends on your body before pregnancy were you a smaller person or a bigger person? The bigger you were the less your suppose to gain. I am 5'10" and weighed 190 before. I wasent fat or anything just a bigger build bc of my height.

I'm 17 weeks and I've gained only 5-10 pounds but I did loose some in the beginning.  Just like the other ladies just stay eating healthy and light exercise

I am 10 weeks with baby number two. With my little man I put on 62 lbs then I lost 71 after so try not to focus on weight. Just try to focus on eating healthy and doing a light work out.

Ive gained almost 30lbs and im 30 weeks. Far more than the rest but I eat right and drs isnt concerned at this point.  I have around 7 or 8 weeks to go till csection.  Hopefully this makes you feel better!
