I'm 36w5d and I've gained 37lbs ugh lol. I don't feel bad about it because I know women smaller than me who have gained more. I haven't gained weight these last two weeks either so I'm hoping it stays the same until my due date.

I'm 28w and I have gained 15lbs. :) I was a normal weight to begin with so it's ok for me to gain upto 30lbs. Though I don't think I will. However I also walk anywhere between 1.5 and 4 miles in a day, so I'm definitely getting enough cardio in :) if I didn't walk that much I would probably have gained a lot more at this point.

5 lbs in a week could very well be water retention, so I wouldn't let it get to you. I'm 31 weeks and I've gained 29 lbs. I eat healthy and exercise daily, so my doctor isn't worried, he just tells me that some women just gain more. I and so have hypothyroidism, which doesn't help the weight gain.
