i am 32 weeks pg and wondered how much more weight i will put on before the arrival. So far my weight gain has been as follows:-

0 to 22 weeks, only 4 pounds!
22 to 30 weeks, 1 stone 8 pounds!!
0 to 32 weeks, nothing!

This makes a total of 1 stone 12 pounds. Is this too much and also does anyone think the pattern abit weird?

Sounds about right, actually. Between 20 and 30 weeks is supposed to be the maximum growth period, when the baby grows really fast.

I am also 32 weeks pregnant, I judge my weight gain by the size of my bum, not by the scales.

Virtually textbook weight-gain.

I, OTOH, lost 7lb during the first trimester, and put on nearly 2st during the next one-and-a-half trimesters!

But I agree about the sight of one's bum! All the maternity clothes' shops said to buy your regular size, but my bum grew at least one size as well!

Too many excalamation marks!

I am nearly 22 weeks and have so far put on 1 stone and 2lbs ! (And wasn't a fatty before.. was size 10. )

Think you need to stop worrying, and change your nickname, 'TooFat' because patently, you are NOT too fat! I am !

Will now creep off and have chocolate digestive to console myself.........

Not too much at all!
The text book weight is meant to be 28lbs (2 stone). Some women gain less, some more. Everyone's different. With ds1 I gained 6 stone (did lose it all after lol) and with ds2 only gained 2 stone.
Chill, enjoy the rest of your pg!
