10-11 pounds
19 weeks
10-11 pounds
I've gained 14lbs - that was at 20 weeks. I'm 23 weeks this week and feel like I've gained more. I go back to the OB on 9/7/10 for another official weight-in (24 weeks). Don't forget I'm carrying twin girls!
Ya I wouldn't worry WifeofAnt everyone is different. Peoples size makes a difference sometimes too. I wouldn't compaire to others too much and just make sure you are doing the best for your baby
It is so different how everyone's body changes to pregnancy... I am at a loss that I am approaching 23weeks pregnant with almost 10pounds lost and no gain, and there are others close to the same weeks or further who have gained 15+
As long as all our babies are happy and healthy- weight is only a number.

What are you guys talking about? I'm 26 weeks and up 20 lbs! I was hoping to aim for a 25 lb total gain but the baby has to put on more than 5 lbs between now and then. *sigh* I was doing so well for the longest while.
I have gained 6 pounds and now 23 weeks and 1 day :) yah! :) oh she is very healthya nd very strong doc is incredibly happy to so not worried about weight gain at all.
So I've gained a few pounds...I think I'm up to 5 or so...I hope it's not the beginning of a lot...I was already overweight some...I don't think I'm doing too bad so far. 25 weeks starts Thursday!
I had my Dr appointment today, another 2 pounds lost in 4 weeks!!
I am down a total of 9lbs, 22weeks on Thursday. My MidWife said the baby MarLea seems fine and my uterus is growing. About this gestation it is up to my belly button. My next u/s & OB appointment will tell us more 9/22/10- but I just have to keep tabs on my self and be safe. She didn't set me to any restrictions at this time- but I imagine common things are going to be a little more restricted ie. lifting things/kids, walking a lot, etc.
I had some severe cramps/contractions and back pains for about two hours last night at work and my MidWife told me if it happens again, I need to go home and rest.
Hope things get better for both of us, or this is going to be a long winter. On the plus side MarLea is one active little girl- she shakes and moves a TON!!

I'm up 15 pounds at 23 weeks with twins. Based on my BMI and twins the weight gain recommendations report I should have gained 25 pounds by now (ultimately 40... wow), so I guess it is actually low even though I feel big as a house! That being said, I'm really petite and both babies measure in the 75th percentile (yikes!). It's all in my belly. I have no idea how it could possibly stretch anymore... but NO DOUBT it will. OB is concerned about cervical pressure, as there just isn't much room in there. I have been on house rest from the very beginning due to some complications, and have recently turned eating into a competitive sport. Vanity and habit tell me to exercise (even though it is out of the question for this pregnancy), but their birthweight and health is way more important than my pant size right now. So I guess here is to hoping for successful breastfeeding, among other things to get me down to size after!
22 weeks 5 days - 4-5 pounds total - had problems gaining weight until week 16 but have been putting a little on here and there - Baby Olivia Lynn looked good for her 20 week ultrasound so not worried!
I guess if your overweight before becoming pregnant you tend to gain less. I was about 11-12lbs lighter than I normally am when I found out I was 4 weeks preg because I was going through a break-up with my baby's daddy :(
That might be why I've gained a total of 19lbs since then but i don't like to count the extra 10lbs I would have gained back anyways even if I wasn't preg.

I'm 21 weeks and at my 20 week appointment I was up 14lbs. I was not one of the luck ones that went negative first, I just started gaining!!
At my dr appt on Monday (at 21wks5days) I gained a total of 22 pounds. I feel like I am right on target. I only gained 3 pounds the 3 months. So I estimated I should gain 8-10 pounds a month after that. I read I should gain 45-50 pds with twins.
21 weeks tomorrow and still haven't gained a thing!!! My aunt told me she'd only gained 5 lbs by 30 weeks because I mentioned I was worried about not gaining. She gained about 10 more after with each pregnancy. I'm gonna ask the dr at my next appoinment Aug 10, but being a little heavier before getting pregnant I'm assuming it's not doing any harm...
Drinking milk is good for the baby's weight. I know it's partly an old wive's tale, but partly true as I have known women who loved milk and had big babies and women who didn't and didn't.
I've gained about 10-11 lbs and I'm at 21.3 weeks. I have found that just eating what I can eat and not eating what I can't helps. I also eat a bowl of healthy cereal at night or something so that I don't wake up starving and sick to my stomach.

So ladies.. new update I went to the Dr today for my 18week check up. Guess what I lost another pound!!! I am now -7.6 pounds.. uh-oh!
My MidWife said even someone who started out over weight at the begining should gain a healthy 15 pounds to keep up with the baby's weight/height and water. I know my boobs have grown and my pants are much tighter- same with my shirts.. but still I cant seem to keep weight.
I think in some ways it is blessing not getting too big and not having to shed it all at the end with having a new born. But I dont want to harm my baby by not keeping weight on for him or her. My last pregnancy I gained 25-30 pounds, but that was after I worked out for 6 months several times a week prior to getting pregnant and lost 40 pounds!!
Any suggestions? I dont crave any one thing and I cant eat a whole lot in one setting.. I mainly have been eating small portions, several times a day. I cant eat normal size portions or I feel like crap!

I have been very bad...my craving is Macdonalds. I have gained 13 pounds and I'll be 19 weeks on Saturday. Oops. lol. The doctor says its fine its just harder to lose after.
You are doing JUST fine! I work very closely with someone on the weight and my pregnancy... and you are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work!
