well its offical... ive finaly gained weight.  6lbs in one month!!  YIKES : ( I went in today for my monthly visit at 22 weeks I have just all of a sudden popped out.  Up until this point i hadnt gained any weight, actuly lost some then today I get on the scale and wow 6 lbs.  Has anyone else had this happen?  It totally freaked me out, i knew i had gotten bigger the past month but sheesh.  My doc wasnt concerend at all that i gained that much being that i had gone down from my pre preg weight, but it sure did shock the pants off me.  On the up side he said im measuring right on and her heart beat is 145 : ) It took him a while to get a good reading because she kept kicking the doppler : ) DH and I couldnt stop laughing at what a little brat our little girl is and shes not even here yet lol : )

Its okay, I checked it out on the net. It all depends what your BMI was before pregnancy. Mine was normal so I am supposed to gain 45lbs with twins, 30lbs if it was a singleton by the end of my pregnancy.

The more underweight you are the more you have to gain and the more overweight you are the less you have to gain. There is a chart on the babycentre website.

yeah but arent you having twins? you have two babies in there, your gonna gain more weight

I'm worried now, I have been slowly gaining weight but I have gained 19lbs since the start of my pregnancy (I am 20 weeks now)

Thank goodness.... Im glad im not the only one.  It totaly freaked me out when she said what I weighed.  I mean I know im gonna gain weight, i just wanted to do it slow and steady.

I have to say that I think that I will be in the same boat.  I had lost a lot of weight, and because of that I have been weak and giving into my cravings for a lot of sweets, Ive eaten way too many sweets. I go to the doctor in 1.5 weeks and I feel sure I will have gained more wieght than I am happy with in one month.  Granted, Im going to gain weight bein pregnant, I know that. But if I gain more than "normal" it means I need to lay off the cupcakes : (    that would be sad, lol   : )

I am currently 21 weeks pregnant, and last month wheen i went to the doctor, I found out that I gained 7.5 pounds in 4 weeks, i was so surprised and scared, I thaught that that was a bad thing, but when I asked the doctor she said that it is ok, and that there is nothing wrong with it, and that sometimes that happens, specially that I wasnt gaining that much weight before.
