I'll be 27 weeks tomorrow & have gained 30 pounds.  My thyroid was really underactive for the first half of my pregnancy which made me gain weight. My thyroid has been in normal range for a month & a half & in the last month I've only gained 1 pound. I'm hoping I can keep the weight gain under control these last few months.

I'm 25+2 weeks pregnant with twins. At my nutritionist appointment 3 days ago I had gained 10 pounds since getting pregnant. It depends a lot on the woman, her original weight, how she's been eating throughout pregnancy... ect. I was over weight before pregnancy but since I've become pregnant I've never eaten better. My expected weight gain before delivering is 30 lbs.

24 weeks, I had only gained 8 pounds at my last appointment but I had been losing weight from being so sick in my first trimester. I dont have a scale in my home but I probably gained another 8, I have my next appointment Monday so I guess I'll find out then!

I'm 28 weeks and I'm down 15 pounds from when I first found out I was pregnant but I also started out at 180 pounds so I'm very over weight. Everyone is different. I wouldn't stress too much about it as long as you are eating healthy and trying to get in some exercise and your baby is healthy that is all that matters.

I'm 24+1 and so far I've gained 5 kg from 5wks pregnant (11lbs). I don't have a digital scale so I wasn't able to see the increments per week or day. It took about 3-4 weeks until I saw today that I've gained another 1kg (2.2lbs). I'm using this pregnancy app as a guide as to how much I should be gaining and so far it seems I'm within "normal" range. I know everyone's different but this is to help me keep track of what I should be aiming for, so that I gain the right amount for baby to be healthy.

I have only gained 6lbs so far. I'm 24weeks. With my my other 2 pregnancies I didn't gain any weight. I'm small so I'm actually supposed to gain weight. I have tried everything to gain weight I eat constantly. So I would say you go girl. I think gaining 4lbs is awesome. You can always lose it after baby is born. I always lost my belly a week or 2 after the babies were born from breast feeding I'm not sure if you r best feeding but if so that will help u lose some weight.

I'm 24wks 1 day...I dint even weigh myself. Last doc appointment was at 21 wks and I had gained 14lbs..since hitting 22wks I've been eating like crazy, my appetite amped up severely. Your post promotes me to weigh myself and low and behold I have gained almost 8lbs since my 21 Wk appointment..crazy thing is I didn't even realize it. This is the heaviest I've ever been but I mean I am pregnant so I expected weight gain but it's amazing how much I just put on lol gotta get back to walking!
