Just curious as to how much weight everyone has gained. With my first I had gained about 10 lbs at this point (almost 22 weeks). With this baby I have only gained about 5 lbs. I wonder if it has anything to do with not getting back down to pre pregnancy size after my first. I held onto about 5-7 lbs. Just thought I would see where everyone else is at so far in this journey... if you tell me how much you have gained and you use "stones"...I have NO idea what that means! :)
 
I've gained nothing yet! I'm almost 20 weeks, so I'm SURE it will be piling on soon. I'm not even showing!
 
I think I've gained 10 lb or so. Also, I think 1 stone = 14 lb.
 
I've lost about 10 lbs since I got pregnant. You can only see my small belly if I wear certain clothing otherwise I don't even look pregnant.
 
My baby books say around 10 lbs is the norm right now. I gained 40 total with my son though so I feel like I'm doing pretty good this time around!
 
Can't remember how much I gained at this point with my last, but I've gained 17 lbs so far (23 weeks.) I think I'm a bit more than last time by a couple of pounds. I did start at the same weight I started with last time however, 148 lbs.
 
I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow and I am not yet back up to pre-pregnancy weight. I normally lose a bit in the 1st trimester, only about six pounds this time. I kind of need to keep total weight gain down to around 15 pounds (less if I can manage) anyway so it makes it easier if I don't gain too fast.
 
Last time I went to the doctor, at 17 weeks, I had lost 4 pounds since my 10 week visit. I'm starting to notice a belly more now at 20 weeks though, so I'm interested to see what I'll weigh at my next appt (don't have a scale at home)
 
I haven't weighed myself since 12+5, as it'll drive me nuts (I'm the type to obsess over the scale). I'd put on 6 pounds at that point, which is too much, especially considering I was 15 pounds overweight pre-pregnancy. :cry:

I'm guessing I've put on a grand total of about 15 pounds by now. Maybe even a wee bit more. My food intake hasn't been too terribly much more than before, but I've not been able to exercise as much as pre-pregnancy. So yeah. But I think I'm just the type to gain no matter what.
 
I'm 14 weeks & haven't gained any yet. I'm really surprised about this, with the way I've been eating & it's my second pregnancy.
 
Even though I haven't gained a whole lot...I CLEARLY look pregnant! :) I wouldn't worry if you have gained more than 10 lbs...everyone is different. Some put it on quickly at first and then slow down towards the end and then some put it on slow at first and then catch up at the end!

I'm curious as to how my body is going to adjust to having another one! I was able to get pretty close to pre pregnancy weight after my first...took about 7 months but I got down there. I just wonder if I'm going to have the time to work on getting my body back! lol
 
I have gained about 12 lbs now at 22 weeks. With my first I had gained only about 10 lbs at this point, but I started this pregnancy 4lb lighter than my pre-preg weight the first time.

I too am concerned about getting my body back, but I was pleasantly surprised the first time around as I was back to pre-preg weight (135 lb) in about 6-7 months, and then lost even a little more over the next couple months before getting pregnant with this LO. I think BFing really helped with that, so I've got my fingers crossed this LO takes to BFing!
 
I haven't gained any weight yet or really look pregnant,perhaps bc baby is long rather that chubby. I think ill pop and gain some weight in the 3rd trimester :)
 
and curvy enough so that my belly doesnt show at all! hehe my hubby's ok with that for now though, I think a big belly will kind of scare him!
 
So far I haven't gained a pound. Well...not true. I gained 5 lbs immediately. And then I lost 10 lbs due to nausea and haven't gained any of that back. I never thought, me being a bigger person, that I'd be halfway through my pregnancy and not have gained a thing...but then again, I'm STILL sick all the time and have no appetite sometimes!
 
5 lbs at my 20 week, but feel like I may have doubled that since then..my appetite has been insane! :/
 
I've gained 7lb in total, not bad going, it's all baby and no extra so far. I was overweight to begin with though, so I really don't need to go piling it on.
 
I havent gained anything so far though I dont see how thats possibly cause my regular pants are TIGHT. So I think maybe my weight has shifted ;) This is our first baby and pregnancy. I was starting to worry cause thinking no way have I not gained anything and im eating alot more than I did before pregnancy and not going go gym but to only walk so idk. Doc told me yesterday though that it is nothing to worry about and though most people need to have gained a certain amount by now im okay cause baby is well developed and actually BIGGER than he is suppose to be! :doh: she said it would only be a problem if baby was small.

Im 5'9 and 174lbs, 15lbs "overweight" (No one thought I looked over weight maybe they are just nice :) ) so I just think that 15lbs over my weight is the cushioning for me not gaining anything now. Just hope I dont BLOW up!

(Btw im orginally from Arkansas! Fayetteville...)
