How much has everyone gained so far?

I know this is the answer that NO woman like to answer ;)  but we are gaining weight for a good reason. I was wondering how much everyone has gained so far. How much did your doctors tell you that they want you to gain? I'm 24 weeks and up about 25 pounds! I cannot believe it as I really dont know where all the weight has gone (besides my belly, butt, boobs, and thighs). I guess I know where its gone.... haha

alyssa - I am pretty much the same! I'm 175 now and was 140 pre-pregnancy. So that's 35 lbs that I've gained. It is pretty much impossible to get comfortable at this point and sleeping is miserable. I feel so huge!!

Dr said I'd gained 8 lbs total at 30 wk appt.  Was on my case to eat more; I don't think he thinks I eat much.  Thing is, I do eat good.  Just haven't been gaining for some reason.   Have my 32 wk appt tomorrow and hadn't gained quite a lb yet as of yesterday so I've really been chowing down and went up another lb today.  So he should be happier with me.  Also have to take my 3rd glucose test.  I've passed 2 of them but he said since I had it last time I have to take it every month.  Blech!

I'm 30 weeks and have gained 7 pounds. I'm guessing my appointment Thursday will show a few more... at least it feels that way. My belly feels ridiculously huge.

26 weeks 27 pounds :( the dr told me im gaining too much lol.... i honestly dont understand how its happening.... I dont eat junk food... i hate sugar... i eat out a couple days a week so i guess that would be the cause... I also have no idea where the weight is.... cause I really dont look that big altho my belly has popped out a bit more in the past two weeks but im not huge.... o well... i am hoping that I can at least stay away from 180's and im 164 right now
