Weight gain.. How much have you gained?

How much weight have you ladies put on? im 30+4 and have put on 17 pounds.. Is this to much or am I doing ok? I'm a first time mum and I don't want to be huge but my body is changing so much and I'm hoping I'm not to big?

Haha, don't I feel like a fatty... I'm 26 weeks and have gained right at 30 lbs. I am 5'6 and weighed about 125 pre pregnancy.. But I'm wearing it all well, so no complaints :)

I am 35+3 and I have gained 9 pounds. I am also a ftm. I lost 26 pounds during my first trimester. My doctor says I'm doing great. My goal weight gain is 15 pounds because I am a bigger girl to start with. Every doctor is different and so is every pregnancy. Don't worry about your weight if your doctor hasn't said anything. Or, ask him/her if they feel you are gaining enough. :)

I'm 26w and have so far gained 15lbs :) 17lbs at 30w really isn't enough to be worrying. Though it does depend on your pre-pregnancy weight. I had a bmi of roughly 19.3 before I got pregnant, so I can gain anything from 25-35lbs during pregnancy. If you are underweight you will be advised to gain more, if you are overweight, you will be advised to gain significantly less

I'm 28+2 and I've put on 19 pounds so I think you gaining 17 at 30 weeks is perfect :)

I'm 29+3 and I've put on 28lbs! I asked my doctor and he isn't concerned at all. I eat healthy and exercise daily. Some women just put on more weight than others (I also have hypothyroidism). From my experience with others, 17 lbs is a good healthy weight to have put on, not too much or too little.
