Nearly 36 weeks and I've gained about 15 pounds. I assure you, it's not a fake number, Alexis...



I have been very conscious about my weight gain since I was overweight going into pregnancy and wanted to be healthier for the baby and avoid gestational diabetes. Doctor is very happy with my weight control. Baby is growing, but I'm not so he's probably taking from me a little bit. As long as he is healthy, I don't care.

I gained forty total with my first little girl and twenty total with my second little girl...I am having a boy this time and have gained three so far and am being induced in seven days...

I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant and have gained a total of 15 lbs. in total. Throughout the first trimester I gained nothing, throughout the second I gained 5 lbs, the last trimester is where you want to watch out for!!!!! I gained 10 lbs these last couple of weeks. With my first child I gained a total of 40 lbs and it was a girl. With my second I only gained 15 lbs. and it was a boy, and with this one I'm at 15 lbs. too and it is gonna be another boy!!!!!!!

I've gain 6lb and I am 20wks 3days, I am to stay within a 15-20lb range of weight gain because according to "the chart" I am borderline obese. Even though those charts don't take into consideration muscle mass. But hey gain 20lbs or less that means between 7-13lbs I have to lose when I deliver! I can't dig that!

I just turned 20 weeks yesterday and i had such severe hyperemisis in my first trimester, and a little into my second, that i took 2 ER trips in one week, and lost 14 pounds, and was put on medication to even be able to keep down fluids. In the past month I have only been able to gain 1 pound back, and they want me to gain the weight I lost, plus a pound or two. At this point they aren't too concerned, being my diet is exceptional. With my other two, I had gained atleast 5-7 pounds at this point.

5 lbs so far. I'm a runner, and am getting out for a run at least 3 times a week for a minimum of 5 km. I did the same with my last pregnancy and was able to run up until my 7th month. I only ended up gaining 25 lbs last time. I sure hope to do the same. Any type of exercise really helps.

i lost weight in my first 3 months b/c of loss of appetite and food aversions as many of you had. I am now going on 17 weeks and have gained about 10 pounds. It's all in my tummy thank goodness. i started out at 113 so I guess the rapid gain is to be expected.

Im 16 weeks and have gained 9lbs. My doc told me that obese women should loose weight when they become preg, underweight will gain more and up to 10lbs at 16 weeks is about right for someone who is a healthy weight

i'm 13 weeks and i have gained 10 lbs. i'm assuming you have a good diet b/c you exercise a lot so i wouldn't worry about gaining too much weight.

No doesn't make me feel bad...sorry you have been so sick. Part of my problem is that I ran 3-4 miles a day prior to getting pregnant, then after I found out we were expecting I had some spotting and morning sickness so I really stopped running and switched ot only walking 30 minutes a day so I think that a few of those pounds I would have gained anyway. I am just trying to gauge if I am setting myself up for trouble. I am only 4' 11" and I am worried to put on too much weight and be too big at the end.
