weight gain

Im 27 weeks according to my doctor and so far ive gained 17 pounds in total since ive been pregnant. She told me i should be gaining a minimum of 5 pounds monthly, but this last month i gained 7 lbs. Now considering the fact im midway through this pregnancy how much more weight should i be gaining because im really worried about turning into a blimp after the baby is born. Im not the skinniest girl but neither am i fat. I know weight sneaks up on you especially at the end so im so nervous. How much 'baby weight' did you all put on throughout your pregnancy ?

I gained 37 pounds with my daughter. So far I've only put on 2 pounds, but I have a long way to go! You'll probably end up gaining more, but it will be mostly water weight towards the end.

I started at around 120 and went up to 160, but it was all belly. I got weighed a few days after I had my son and had already lost 20 lbs. Seemed like I gained a little too much for me, but the OB was never concerned.

Thats bull! I am 30 weeks and I have gained 28 pounds so far. In my 1st pregnancy I gained 40 by time I delivered. It all fell off right after birth!!!I really wouldnt worry about it. I have been gaining weight from the begining with this pregnancy and my doctor is not worried about it.

128 to 190 for pregnancy 1 & 2
soo over 60 lbs...

My 3rd pregnancy I gained 25 lbs... But that was walking on treadmill, using 5 lb dumb bells... And not eating like it was going out of style...

I gained 17 lbs all together.

with my first pregnancy i went from 115 to 160 but i was severely under weight and the ob wanted me to gain more.
my 2nd pregnancy i went from 130 to 165 and my midwifes were a little concerned with the amount i was gaining towards the end.
this pregnancy i started out 140 and now at 33 weeks i am 174. the most i wanted to gain is 40 pounds. it really depends on your baby as long as your baby is healthy and you have a healthy pregnancy the smallest amount you should gain is 25 pounds unless your obese.

Every pregnancy is different even with the same person. With my first I gained about 20lbs and lost all of it. My second I went from 205 pre-preg to 190 at 9mo and 170 after baby. My third I shot up to 210 and did not lose an ounce of it. So far this pregnancy I have only gained 10lbs and I am 38wks. The only thing that you can do is make sure that you are eating right and getting light exercise. As long as you are doing what you can to stay healthy then I would not worry about weight gain unless you gain a significant amount in a short amount of time because that can be a sign of something serious.

Im 35 weeks and so far I have only gained 10 lbs. Baby is measuring around 5 lbs. Im overweight anyway so doc isnt concerned.

With my first I gained 32lbs. Most of my weight was gained in the second trimester and slowed down to barely nothing and even losing a pound or two in the third trimester. After I had my daughter I lost 20lbs within a few weeks but I had to work getting the rest off by working out and changing my diet and I got down 10lbs below what I weighed when I got pregnant with her.

I am currently 34 weeks with my second and I've gained almost 30lbs. My last appointment I lost a couple pounds which seems like my body is going to do the same as it did with my first, I gained most of my weight in my second trimester again. I know if I continue to eat right and work out after the baby I can easily get down to where I was before.
