27 weeks and up 25 lbs & looking great! Dr is never concerned,  I dont look over weight,  I eat healthy and exercise at least 30 min 4x a week. 13 more weeks to go so im expecting i'll get to 40 lbs. So long as baby and I are healthy,  im not fussing, its just how my body wants to support this pregnancy. Good luck to all you ladies!

I started at 178 and didn't gain weight until I was 5 months. I gained 5lbs then the next month I gained 9! I got sick with the stomach flu and lost 8 lbs. so far I gained the 8lbs back plus 3 more :/ I have an appt Wednesday and I'm scared of what I will hear. This is my 3 child and i was obviously "obeise" before i got pregnant. :(

I think Its funny how much doctors differ as well. Some of the comments on here said they gained 17lbs or 15lbs by 24 weeks and their doctors warned them. My doc was like YOU HAVE ONLY GAINED 19LBS AT 24 WEEKS....KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK! Hahaha I love my doctor lol

Not everyone gains weight in the same pattern and it's more important how your baby is growing than how much you are gaining. With my first I gained weight faster early on but gained only 5 lbs in the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy. Eating a diet high in protein amd lower carbs will help keep baby growing healthy and not get overweight.

Have an appt today, but so far I've only lost weight. It all depends if you are overweight before the pregnancy or not.

My weight has been between 179 and 183 the past three months but yesterday my dr asked me if i was eating..of course i am! I love food obviously lol. A few months ago he warned me about gaining too much. So 9 lbs at 25 weeks.

I'm 24 wks and only 2lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. I had actually lost 5lbs in the beginning and wasn't getting sick much. I'm heavier but have been eating better (mostly lol) so we think it's most likely me losing fat and gaining baby. Hopefully it'll be like my first baby where I was 10 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight a week after delivery.

I started at 152, then lost a few pounds from being so sick.  I think i am around 162 now at 24 weeks. My next appointment is Wednesday. I have gained about 6-7 lbs in the last 4 weeks. Christmas has been rough for not gaining too much too fast.
