How Many Pounds Did You Gain During Your Pregnancy?

im 27 weeks and have gained 8 pounds

my doctor wants me to gain 35 pounds, but its hard to keep the weight on. I'm naturally a smaller person.

Let see...so far with this pregnancy I have lost a total of two pounds (it was four until this past weekend! We were at the beach and I certainly ate whatever I wanted). I am 31 weeks and kinda hope I will stay within five pounds of my starting point. I am trying to get back to eating healthy and if I gain weight...whatever. I am not worried and did not intend to not gain weight. But I certainly didn't need to...I started at the upper end of overweight (230 on a 5'11'' frame) and didn't need any extra. But if I was a normal weight, I would be fine with gaining 60 pounds or whatever my body needed. My cousin just gave birth in June and she started a bit underweight (maybe five pounds) and gained 67 pounds with her daughter. She has lost all but maybe 20 pounds and looks really good. I know that most people seem to gain somewhere in the 40lbs range. I barely know anyone who actually gains 25 even. I have known a couple other overweight women who have gained only a few pounds too. But it all depends on what you start at.

I gained 22 pounds and was harassed constantly by the nurse, first because I had gained too much weight early on and then not gaining more in the last 2 months. Couldn't win.

This time around, because I am overweight, the doc doesn't want me to gain more than 15 pounds total.

I gained 25 with my daughter and lost it all in just a few months after giving birth from breastfeeding. She's almost a year old now and I am actually 30 lbs. less than before I even got pregnant from continuing to breastfeed. If you are thin, you should gain around 35 lbs., average weight 25 lbs. and overweight, no more than 15.

With my first pregnancy, I have gained 20 pounds. After having my baby, I've lost 27 pounds. your sister supposed to gain 25-35 pounds.

I gained alot. First pregnancy went from 110 to 280 baby born 7lbs 0oz; the second baby 125 to 250 baby born 7 lbs 9oz. I did not have high blood pressure/preclampsia or diabeties. Lost the weight with the first baby in 3months; with this one i'm breastfeeding continuously and so far down from 250 to 189; still some weight to go but i figure i'll lose it once i'm done breastfeeding when she's one. - Sure the doctor gave me a hard time, but hey I was hungry and there was no way i was starving myself because i'd turn into a shewolf...LOL

I am 33 weeks 4 days and I have only gained 4 pounds. My doc isnt concerned. He said the only way he would be concerned is if I was loosing weight.

But I have a friend who just had her baby a couple months ago, and she gained 75 pounds!

Everyone is different

Currently pregnant with first child was 132 post pregnancy. and I'm 33 weeks today and so far I'm 143. Gained 11 pounds so far.

i gained about 40 lbs all together. and in the books they said someone under weight would gain more than a normal or overweight person. so i was suppose to gain about 25 to 30 lbs according to the books. but i don't care because my doctor said i was doing good and the baby was healthy.

I will be 33 weeks tomorrow and have gained about 5 pounds. Everyone is so different, you just never know how your body will react.
