Weight gained?

Hello Mommies, I am a first time mom and just want to know about how much I should be gaining. I am a ftm at 28 weeks and have gained 18 pounds. Does that sound about right?

I use the app you enter your weight every week.and at the beginning yours before pregnancy and how tall you are. It then gives you a average range where you should be, if you over or under normal.

That sounds right to me :) I'm 30 weeks and have gained about 20 lbs. Dr says I'm right on target.
