24 weeks and gained over 25 pounds. No one believes me, and I barely know where the weight is going but the scales don't lie! My midwife doesn't get worried, she said its stupid trying to fit all the different body types and genetics into a simple weight gain chart, and to focus on eating nutritious food to grow bub best rather than stress about keeping weight off.

Don't worry. I am 26 weeks,and have gained 25 lbs. I was till run and workout 6 days a,week and only eat 1300- 1700 calories a day. I was freaking out since all the charts say I've gained way too much, but my doctor says 20 lbs at 20 weeks is the,average,she sees. If I gain 1 lb every week till I deliver that will be 40 lbs. She said 25-40 is in the normal range. I'm going to go with what she says. ;)

Im 25 weeks and I've gained 30lbs! I was concerned about my weight gain so I asked my dr. He said I look great but anything onver 30lbs you take home with you! Yikes! However I have been working out so I'm not overly concerned. I did 10 miles of cardio last week and lifted light weight with lots of sets so some could be muscle! Everyone is different so im just trying to enjoy this journey Ann's stay fit for Labour!

15? I'm 23 weeks and have gained 25 pounds already... Also I lost some weight first trimester, so this is pretty much 25 pounds in 2 months... I'm heading for another huge baby, I can just feel it...

I'm 25 weeks and I've gained 30 pounds already, doctors aren't worried but they said it was a little on the high side, my baby is perfectly healthy though! I guess everyone's different.

I am alittle different. I gained 9 pounds, and my Dr said the baby is normal.  However, I feel like she is too small and especially with measurement she us 1 week behind LMP.  I worry that she is not growing as she should be. May be because I am diabetic, and I have rõ watch out alot of things to eat.
