how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I was gaining so slowly at the begining that I was sure I would stay under 25 pounds, 30 tops. But now here I am, almost 28 weeks and up 23 pounds. Looks like I'll end up more in the 35 pound range.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I was hoping to stay between 20-25. As of my 22 week appointment, I was up 25 lbs. I'll probably be more around 35-40

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I was hoping to keep it between 35-40 pounds...when I didn't gain anything before my 22nd week I foolishly thought I could keep it to 30...

I wound up gaining 52 pounds...

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I was hoping to be between 25-30 lbs.

As of my 24 week appt, I gained 14lbs. I figured I could gain a pound a week and still be at 30 lbs. I go tomorrow for my 28 week appt...hopefully I am still on target.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I was hoping not to gain more than 35 lbs. i knew I would gain the higher end cause I always gain water weight during pms and Af time.

i gained 50lbs pg! and i didn't even eat bad! My body like to keep itself cushy for my baby girl. I am 3 month post baby and have 12 lbs left!

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I didn't want to gain more than 35 pounds total

I'm 28 weeks and already gained close to 30 And this is also after having gained hardly gained up until week 20 or so .. I even lost weight in the first trimester due to M/S

Most of the 30 pound weight gain has been within the past 6 weeks I am actually being more careful in how I am eating (not depriving, just eating better/healthier) but I still think I will gain closer to 50 pounds by the time I'm ready to deliver

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I thought I would gain 35-40lbs, maybe 45 tops. At my 34wk appt I have gained 42lbs

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

i was hoping to stay under 30lbs. So far so good. At almost 38 weeks I'm 26lbs up.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I thought I'd gain approx. as much as I have. I am still not sure how much I've gained. I know I gained approx. 10 lbs after the wedding in Oct. But I'm not sure how much I gained from being PG. I didn't go to the dr. until I was 9 weeks and then we moved and I had to switch drs. so I only know how much I've gained since going there at approx. 13 weeks. I forgot how much I was at the first appt. at the old dr. Maybe I'm just in denial. I think I've gained approx. 20 lbs overall and I'm 25 weeks. I was hoping I would gain less, but I'm not surprised.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I am hoping for 20-25 pounds.
i'm 23 weeks and up 9-10 pounds.
So i am thinking I SHOULD be OK- fingers crossed.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I was hoping to stay around 30-35 lbs.
I gained 48.

Now I go back today to see how much I lost

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

with my first son i gained 80 lbs so I have no clue how much i will gain with this one but i was thinking probably alot but im 20 weeks and so far ive only gained 7 lbs so i will be happy if its not that much.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I was hoping to stay within the recommended 30-35...I gain 50

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

SHI T now im scared im thinking no more than 35lbs but now i dont know

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I am hoping to stay between 20-25.. so far at 22 weeks ive gained 5 lbs i think

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I'm hoping to stay within 30-35lbs range, but as of my last appt at 20 weeks I was already up 15 lbs!!! So I'm probably going to gain more than I want.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

Maybe I am backwards - I thought I would gain maybe like 40ish, but I have only gained 10 so far and I am 21 weeks. Who knows what is yet to come....

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

that happened to me too - I was gaining so slowly that I thought for sure I wouldnt go over 25 lbs. I wound up gaining 35 - but dont worry too much - I was back to my pre prego weight a week later!

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

35-40lbs. I was hoping more like 25 lbs. 4 mos PP and I have 15 lbs left....not too bad

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

Afraid I would gain 50. I ended up gaining 39lbs. I have 15 more to go!

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I thought I was going to gain so much weight. I thought my body would change all over. It seems like I haven't gained anywhere except my belly. I am 36 weeks and I've only gained 14 pounds. I'm shocked.

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I am so shocked at how much I've put on the last month - at 28 weeks I had only gained 11 lbs but now at 32 weeks, I'm up 18! I was hopinh to keep it under 25 lbs but with my DD I wound up gaining the most weight at the very end. I wish I could say its because i'm retaining water but my ankles aren't swollen and my rings still fit the same!

Re: how much did you THINK you would gain, how much have you

I hope to gain only around 30 pounds. I am 21+ weeks and I am up 5 pounds
