Weight Gain

[ladybugbob1029]

OK - I've read different things different places.  My dr. says my weight gain is within normal ranges and I know every woman is different.  Buuuuuut, I still can't help being curious.  
I know this may be a touchy subject for some, but I can;t help but wonder....
About how much weight have us July mommies to be put on for our little ones?  All of my friends seem to be finding out they are pregnant lately and are asking me what to expect - and I tell them all of the above - that "normal" is relative, but I still can't help but to wonder.  I'm pretty sure with these poll things that everything is anonymous, but I will share with you ladies that I have put on between 21 and 23 lbs (its been fluctuating the last 2 weeks - probably bc I don't weigh in the nude)

If you want - asnwet the poll below:
On average how much weight have you gained so far?

Im almost 28 weeks and going for weekly appts bc of high blood pressure so I HAD gained 15, but when I went back the next week I had lost a pound, lol. Im not really sure how that happened, but I'll take it! I'm feeling like I will probably go over the 25lbs Im SUPPOSED to gain, bc the sickness is gone and im getting to huge to actually do anything except sit around and think about my next meal. We'll see what happens.

I'm 24 weeks tomorrow, and as of this morning, I've lost two pounds. Of course 1) I'm overweight to begin with, so I can afford to not gain weight and 2) I didn't gain much with my last two kids. I gained a total of 12 pounds with my daughter, and 4 pounds with my son. I still have a ways to go, but I don't expect to gain more than 10 pounds or so with this baby.

I have gained about 15 pounds so far (@ 24 weeks).  For me, that is really good, this is my fourth baby and I usually gain about 40-50.

I started out this pregnancy around 154, always trying to go lower, but that is considered "normal" for my height 5'9".
Anyway, I think having a "fitness forum" is a great idea! I do so much better when I am holding myself accountable with someone else and keeping records.

Until then, I am trying just to enjoy this pregnant body, as I really do love being pregnant and this *may* be my last. = (

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and have put on a total of 22 pounds. In the past three weeks i have gained 10 of those 22 pounds. I was already overweight when i got pregnant and i'm scared that i have put on way too much weight. My body doesn't look much bigger, just my tummy/waist and boobs.

Do you think i'm more likely to experience pregnancy complications? I've been eating healthily for the most part but need to increase my exercise.

I am 24 weeks pregnant and I have gained 24 pounds at my last visit - I feel flabby as well...I feel like I am all water - a have alot of fluid everywhere - hope this is the reason for my weight gain.....My boobs are huge as well before I got pregnant I was a 34AA now I am a 36C!!!! My husband cant believe it!!

You ladies all sound lovely!!! My boobs also took an enormous gain...but I have gained 23 lbs and have 10 weeks to go! I hope to not gain to much more. The doc's would like me to stay around 25 lb gain...hard to do especially when I also am LOVING all things not the healthiest! Sugar and more of it! Makes me kinda crazy because I crave sweets now! And never did before...so, wishing the best to us all!!
