How much weight have you gained so far?

I just weighed myself and I have only gained 4 lbs total! I must say I am quite shocked as my belly is getting HUGE and all I have gained is 4 measily lbs!:giggle:

I am totally guessing, but maybe around 10lbs or so

LOL. I was just thinking 'wow. I hardly gained any weight and people hardly notice I am pregnant. I must be having a small baby this time around!'
And I gained 16 pounds so far!!!
Maybe that's more than I thought.
It's good to hear comparisons.
I am 5'10" and gained 50 pounds for my last pregnancy. My baby was 10 pounds at birth and 17 pounds at the 3 months check so maybe I just have big babies.
Luckily I lost all my pregnancy weight within the first 4 months without even trying (thanks to my constantly nursing breastfed baby).

:blush: I've gained just under 20lbs.

I'm 5'1" and pre-pregnant I was in the "healthy BMI" range. I can't believe the scale these days! :blush:

I have gained about 10 lbs now, which I think must be wrong. At my last checkup my belly was measuring 6 inches larger than it should, doc looked at me like I was going to end up having a giant baby, lol. I love to hear that though. I went through one preemie and don't want that to happen again so I'm trying my best to get my weight up there.

I've gained 17 pounds so far. This is our 3rd baby, and with the first 2, I didn't even look pregnant until about 24+ weeks. This one is definitely different--luckily it'll all turn into milk here in a few months.

At last weeks (22wks) checkup I was down more, about 14lbs to date. I was overweight to begin with though. Maybe I can keep losing and be skinnier than when I got prego!:thumbsup:

17 lbs and I still have 14 weeks to go!!!
I gained a lot in the beginning of the 2nd tri and it has sort of tapered off.
I'm hoping it slows down in the 3rd.

At my last appt (24wks), I had gained 7lbs. I'm measuring 4wks ahead, so the doc and mw think the baby will be large.

You really want to know? 16 pounds:cry: Luckily I started out at 125 (I'm 5'9) So I was small-like a size 2 and I haven't thrown up but once this whole pregnany. I was gaining quite a bit of weight and vomiting thru the last 3 pregnancies. Judging by my chest 5 pounds of that has gone there:blush:

no clue. I'm 5'4 & 120lbs @ 25ish weeks. DD i gained 37 total & bfeed for 15ms, then got a BFP right away, i think i was 100ish lbs then. I had the flu & morning sickness & had been in Germany for 3wks (Germans are HUGE meat eaters, it was hard for me to fing none meat to eat!) When I'm not preg I'm usually about 115lbs, that's my healthy weight :), so i guess I've gained 5lbs?

I lost about 15 pounds when I first got pregnant and I only gained about 10 back so I am 5 under at 27 weeks. But my ultrasound showed a big baby so my doctor is not concerned

I have gained 20 which is a lot for me. I have had trouble gaining weight with my other 3 so this is new to me.

Oh, I wish we didn't have to look at the scale during pg. But I guess the dr's need to know. Today was my 26 wk appt and I've gained 18.5 lbs. I'm hoping to slow the weight gain a little bit. 6lbs in one month seems like a lot. But I also don't want to dwell on it. But obviously the dr wasn't concerned as he never mentions anything about the weight gain.

Well I gained 5 lbs this month:cry: I am still down from pre preg weight but I was already a fatty:giggle: Doc said that it was normal this stretch of the pregnancy. I am 26 wks so still in the - is ok by me I guess.

even though it's OK to gain that in a month it still is a shocker when you get on the scale. I got a bit of a yikes moment, but I've moved on now.

I lost 15 pounds in the first trimester and now I am 5 pounds more than my starting weight. The doctor said I am doing well and measuring right on target so I am happy with my weight. Shoot I thought I would be almost 200 now. Last time I gained almost a total of 60+ pounds.

I've lost 4 pounds so far. But I am overweight. I am eating healthier, and more than ever ( I never ate regular before - bad for metabolism :oP )
