I am 5 ft and at 25 weeks had gained 12 pounds, so sounds about right to me. I am also sporting the beach ball look:)

I'm 39 weeks and have put on 2 stone exactly. I look like I have a gym ball up my top, never mind a beach ball! :o

People keep saying 'there's no where for it to go up, only outwards' which is true

Erm.... It's the 'other' way out I'm more worried about! Ha ha!

I have put on about 1.5 stone at 26 weeks but then I have been a greedy pig, so only myself to blame.

22 pounds so far at 26 weeks! Not too bothered though it falls off in the first few weeks! I was quite slim originally! I think your body does what it needs to, I was shocked after dd1 how quick the weight comes off

33 weeks and have gained 3 stone and about 15 inches round belly, although I used to exercise a lot and haven't exercised since about 7 weeks

30 lbs at 39 weeks... look and feel like an elephant, despite exercising daily... pre-preg BMI was 19... gained about 13 lbs by 24 weeks, so you gain seems about right... you need to look at it in conjuction with your initial BMI... check this out:www.gurgle.com/tools/pregnancy_weight_gain_calendar/default.aspx

Just over a stone at 37 weeks. Was an active type before the pregnancy but not done a lot during it (except walk the dog) due to a really crunchy pelvis. I'm 5'7 and weighed just over 9.5 stone before.

I'm not looking... But yes, I've put on some. I'm eating (mostly) sensibly and exercising well, so I don't feel the need to make myself miserable by checking what I weigh.

i have gained about a stone.....but when I got weighed at the Dr's when I fond out I was nearly a stone lighter than I had been the previous month and hadnt started the constant 3-month puking stage then
