Confused about weight gain

I know, how longs a piece of string? But I've found conflicting suggestions on various websites. Some say you gain the most in the 3rd tri, others say weight gain slows/plateaus. So which is it? I'm not there yet, only 26 weeks but desperate for my weight gain to slow! I've already hit the 10st mark, and put on 23lbs! :-(

I'm 25wk and put on 2s.
Put on 3st by end of preg 36 and 37wk with other2.

I think some people pile it on at the end but for me I usually put on most in2nd trimester and I'm guessing will gain another stone now in 11/12wk if baby is induced early again.

Don't worry everyone is different. I Put on exactly 3st with both previous pregnancies so kind of shows it's pre determined Grin

Yeh I put on 3st with dd1 but can't remember at what stage I piled it on the most, just that I'd really prefer not to put that much on again this time!

I gained 40 lbs (yikes!) while pregnant and nearly half was in the last trimester. I don't think I gained anything in the last week or two though. That is pretty typical I think but everyone is different. Some will feel like they have no room for food in the end, but that was never my problem. I was ravenous!
