OK so i'm 22 weeks and 5 days and I've gained 15 lbs....all of it is belly and thighs and a bit in the butt. so to everyone that is due within a week or so of me--How are you doing? Have i gained too much? i don't eat super bad stuff and i drink a lot of water....are there any other lil tricks besides exercise? Any advice would be great ;)

hmm, I'd ask your doc (I know that's not what you want to hear lol) and see what she thinks. If you have, they may give the Gestational Diabetes test early. It sounds like a few extra pounds to me, but everyone is different, and I'm no OB/GYN so.... I've gained 28 so far and I deliver this friday

I am due before you and I have gained 12 lbs...the doc says I should gain a total of 30 and I need to slow down...so I cut out the junk food...and tamed some cravings...but other than that...I am walking and lifting some 3 lb. weights just to maintain strength. Walk alot...it helps with weight and labor....

Cardio!! Walk walk walk!! And it keeps your blood pressuredown too =]
I've only gained 8 lbs and I'm almost 30 weeks! I can't complain...I'm just hoping I dont put on all the weight in my last few weeks!!

I'm about to be 23 wks and have gained the same amount, so I think it's normal to gain more weight around this time in pregnancy. You are suppose to gain at least 30-35 lbs, also remember there's the weight of the baby, uterus, placenta and 30% more blood volume. So I wouldn't worry. By the looks of your pic u look good

I'm 23 weeks...and I've gained so far 10 lbs so far. I eat a lot of salad, drinks lots of OJ and Juicy Juicy....I'm not really a big eater. I eat breakfast, snack, and my dinner.

Everyone is different so don't stress out. I'd check with my doctor, but I wouldn't worry about it. I have only gained about 5 lbs and I'm 24 weeks, but I lost 10 lbs during my first trimester because I was so sick that I couldn't keep anything down. I have a friend who by this point in her pregnancy had gained 30lbs and her doctor said she was fine.

A lot of it is probably water weight. I gained 22 pounds in my pregnancy but even my doctor told me it was mostly water. If your doctor isn't worried about it then I wouldn't worry about it.

Your doing fine, I've almost gained all that, and I think it's in my chest XD
If you think your weight is a real concern, talk to your Doc.
THough they say with pregnancies nowdays, you should gain a total of 25 pounds if your a medium sized person before pregnancy.. If your tiney, I think its like, 20,
But don't take my word for it, talk to your Doctor  

well my doc said -in the same breath- that it wasnt bad but i should watch it...so i dont really know how to take that LOL iv cut out a lot of liquids except water and im trying not to snack as much i think thats my prob LOL

I've gained the same thing and my doctor was very pleased with it. If you're average sized, you can gain between 25-35 during your pregnancy...I think you're doing fine  .

I've gained 9 lbs so far according to my doctor . I was doing really good for awhile and had only gained like 2 or 3 lbs, but I think the holidays didn't help me out there. lol. My doctor didn't seem alarmed and said it was normal.

I've actually lost weight. Before I got pregnant, I was around 150. Then at Christmas (about 21 weeks, I believe) I was 143. Now I'm back up to 148. Everyone's different. You look good from your picture, so I wouldn't worry too much. Ask your Dr. though.

I am due the 22nd of May. I have gained about 12 pounds...I have bump pics in my album, I am barely showing. I think I have gained it mainly in my thighs and butt. Everyone says I will most likely just gain it in belly now....I have noticed that since I walk alot and don't eat like I am eating for 2, I have not gained as much weight I thought I would have. I was really scared I would balloon up. I think you are right on, if you are worried ask your doc. I told my doc upfront to be honest about my weight and to keep me in check because before I got pregnant i actually lost over 45 pounds. It was a lot of work so I didn't want it all to go to shame.
