Last weigh-in, at 24 weeks, I had gained 14 lbs. I know that at 14 weeks I had only gained 4 lbs., so I must have gained a pound a week the previous 10 weeks. I am now 26w2d, and will weigh at my next doctor's appt on Aug. 7th.

Hi girls, I am 28 weeks 1 day and at my last appt had gained 3.5 kilos (7.7 pounds) I had really bad morning sickness and have only started really getting an appetite plus my belly popped out over night (!!) so I am curious to see how much more I have gained since my last appt 2 1/2 weeks ago. Looks like everyone is doing pretty well =]
so i am up, what, about 18 pounds? so if i gain another 18, i'll have only gained 36...i hope i don't b/c not to be rude, i've weighed 198 before(in 2005), and couldnt hold that weight, much less if i'm carrying 200lbs due to another human being inside me, causing more pain and issues lol.....but, if i gain it, i keep hearing i'll drop at least 5-10 before i even leave the hosp, from the placenta and such coming out.....
Starting weight 112.5, as of yesterday my home scale showed 126. I've been gaining about a pound a week since week 14, but weeks 22-24 I wasn't gaining at all. Now it seems I'm back to 1lb per week. I wonder what will happen once I hit 3rd trimester on one and a half more weeks go to.
I'm 28w4d and i've gained 6lbs back so far. I lost a total of 16 before i started gaining, so i guess right now i'm still 10lbs ahead of the game. But i know that wont last :). My belly is huge though, I feel like a cow!!
Kazwel
I gained about 25 lbs in the year before TTC, and another 5-10 form fertility meds before getting pg, so I am hoping to keep the weight gain to a healthy minimum. I am having twins, so I feel as if these numbers are OK. e shall see in a couple of weeks if I still feel the same!
Oh, and my babies are above average in weight, so that's the most important thing. Henry weighed in at 1lb. 8 oz., and Cadence 1 lb. 7 oz. at 24 weeks. The average for a singleton at that stage is about 1 lb. 5 oz. (according to doc), so I am very happy thery are so robust! By the time I have my next appt. they may weigh close to 3 pounds each!!!!
Any one else feel that way?
