How much weight have you put on so far?

[Maxine77]

I am 18 weeks this week and this morning  I stepped on my weighing scale and horrors I put on 22lbs! I was 129lbs pre-pg and now I 151 lbs! and I am not even halfway there yet? With my 2nd daughter I put on 60.5lbs because I really ate too much of choc doughnuts (I know I just indulged myself and didnt watch what I was eating but I so loved choc doughnuts when I was pg with my 2nd kid and I was really swelling up due to water retention). So far I have not touched choc doughnuts (resisting!!!).  I am amazed at how much weight I have gained while at the same time I am amazed by how little weight some people have gained while pg (having read some posts from other forums). Has anyone gained as much as me? yet? :O)

I turned 20 weeks Thursday and as of my doctor appointment on Friday I have gained about 8-10 pounds total.  I lost about 6-7 pounds from being so nauseated at first but since then I've gained it back plus 3 or 4 lbs.  The baby is perfectly fine and I'm now completely done with the nausea so I'm soooo thankful.

I just passed the 20 week mark, and up until about a week ago, I had only gained about 6-7 pounds. Somehow in the last week, though, it appears I've gained another 3. No big deal to have gained 10 pounds at 20 weeks, I know, but the fact that 3 of them were in the last week worries me a bit!

Maybe it was just that I was super-hydrated today... I'll see the midwife tomorrow for a checkup and get weighed again. I think I'll ask what to expect regarding weight gain from here on out. I started out around 140 which for my build gives me a BMI of something like 22 (so normal weight).

Hi,
I am 16 weeks and 5 days and i have actually lost weight and not started gaining it back yet. I was overweight when i got pregnant and have been very sick with this baby! I am currently 21lbs less than when I got pregnant, i have been concerned about losing and not gaining any weight, however this is my 4th pregnancy and I have lost weight with all of them, before any body hates be though I assure you it all evens out in the end since I seem to gain a few pounds after the pregnancy. my Dr's have me on nausea and vomiting meds, but even when I am not puking i don't feel like eatting much and get full really fast! I seem to finally be starting to come out of the morning sickness and vomiting for the most part, so I may start gaining now!

Hi All,
I am 20 weeks and I have gained 8 pounds.  When I got pregnant I was 125 now I am 133.  I had gotten pregnant last year and had a miscarriage prior to that I was 120.  I am 5'5.  I am trying really hard to eat healthy and walk a lot.  But, I do get my cravings and cave in often.  Some days I tell myself just to enjoy it I am bound to just keep gaining until my baby boy is here anyway :)

ugh i know how you feel. i got married 9 months ago and was 120, and then 130 when i GOT pregnant. This morning i was 142, and I am only 16 weeks. I never really had morning sickness and have a huge appetite. I was hoping to only get to 155, but its not looking like thats going to happen!

Well, officially I've gained 6 lbs so far. In reality, I've gained 18. I gained 12 before my first appointment so I'm trying not to count it. LOL. I gained 50-60 lbs. with each of my other pregnancies so I'm thinking this will be the same.
