Peanut butter chocolate chips sandwiches helped me gain weight! I mean, like 6 pounds from weeks 32 to 34. And they're delicious!

I lost 13 lbs in the beginning.... i eat pizza, ice cream, chinese food, etc.. and still barely gain weight.. i hardly ever excercise cause im stuck in the house all day. So good luck:/

P.s im one of those girls who, pre pregnancy, was not thin.. and gained weight from everything. Now it barely effects me.

Just try and eat 6 small meals a day. Maybe some that are nutritional and some that are.... not so nutritional. Again, good luck! (:

I'm 37 weeks and I just got 2 pounds above my prepregnancy pregnancy weight. I lost 20 pounds and just started gaining back the weight. As long as the baby is healthy and growing good I don't see why it's a problem right now.

Um high caloric foods? Pizza, donuts,  ice cream, chocolate...anything like that should make you pack on the pounds if you eat alot and dont excersice. I would try to eat healthier tho so you dont become diabetic :p

I had the same problem in the beginning but once I hit my second trimester I was able to gain weight. I don't want to say eat fast foods like McDonalds or burger king since they are just so bad, but they may be able to help. Wish you luck
