weight gain poll

ok so what week are you and how much have you gained so far

I'm 24.3 weeks and if my MIL's scales are right I've gained 16 lbs but at my last appt 3 weeks ago I'd only gained 8 so if that's true I've gained 8 lbs in 3 weeks

At 24 weeks I had gained 14 pounds. (My dr said that is normal) I'm 27 weeks now and it looks like according to my scale I've gained about 6 pounds in the past 3 weeks! My good friend is due in July 2008 and she said she had one month where her weight spiked real high and then it went back to 2-4 pounds the month after that. She didn't change any eating habits, I guess she just retained more of it that month. Hopefully that will be the case for me. With my first son, I gained a total of 44 pounds...mostly belly, but it didn't come off like I thought it would. What scares me is that I really packed it on in the end of my first pregnancy so I know there is much more weight to be gained.
