gaining weight.

How much weight has everyone gained? I know this is a touchy subject but I'm a little worried I am gaining weight to fast. I am 20 weeks and have gained 15 lbs so far. But I gained that in a month and a half. I just think that's to much weight for such a short period. Any input thanks

I lost about 10 lbs in my first trimester and now at 19.5w, I am still -2.5 on the scale.  So overall I have not gained anything, but from my lowest point, I am up about 7 lbs.

I'm 17weeks and I've gained around 10lb. Its normal, but as long as you are exercising and eating right its just bub growing and possibly water retention!

I had an appointment when I turned 17 weeks and I had already gained 16lbs! I was kind of freaking out too. But I also stopped going to the gym during most of my 1st trimester and wasn't eating as well. But I recently started going back about 1 month ago and I think I am gaining some muscle back too bc I am starting to look more toned again and my bump is looking more like there's a baby in there! I know that we aren't supposed to worry about weight but it's definitely hard! I've never weighed as much as I do now in my entire life and I am so worried about trying to loose it all after I give birth. I don't even know if I will have the time to go back to the same classes that I've been taking at my gym once this baby comes out (ftm)! So I feel your pain. You're not alone. Trust me!

At my 17 week appt I had gained 9 lbs. But, I gained 55 lbs my first pregnancy. Don't focus so much on weight but rather whether your baby is healthy. I questioned my OB constantly the first time around about my weight and she always reassured me that I was fine and that different women handle pregnancy differently.

17 weeks today and at my last appointment a week ago i had finally gained one pound from where i started. But i was very sick the first trimester and lost 5lbs. Im so excited to finally being gaining weight. I don't think you should over think gunning weight. Just know you are creating and providing the most nurturing environment you can for your little one.
