I'm 33 week and put on 18kg which is almost 40lbs. I was an average weight before getting pregnant like 150lbs but have gained a lot. No doctors are worried and the little on is on growth track but it does come down to the person. You also have the think of the extra fluid and blood as well as the baby weight. I find it hard also and see all the....... I have not gained enough but as long has your baby is healthy you can work on the weight after.

With my first i was 17 and weighed 98lbs...by then end of the pregnancy i gained 90lbs...my second i gained about 45...so far im 18 weeks with this one and only gained 3lbs but weighed 190 at the beginning of this pregnancy...you may start evening out but like previous posters said it depends on pre pregnancy weight and your body type.

I hate to admit it but I've put on 60 lbs. Ugh. I was underweight before I got pregnant but even that you should only.gain 45. My Dr is not worried because I also have.hypothyroidism which a symptom is usually over weight. Plus I'm due in 3 days. As long as Dr isn't worried I wouldn't be either. :-)

It really just depends on ur body and ur prepregnancy weight. Im 28 weeks and 3 days and I've gained 13 pounds. But I also weighed 180 before I was pregnant.
