18 weeks. lost 5lbs in first trimester and have now gained that back + 1. I am not sick nearly so much now, and have promised to return to healthy eating today as I would like to keep on top of the weight gain. In a way I was kind of lucky in the first trimester with the sickness, all I wanted was carbs which I barely ate before pg, but sickness stopped me from gaining weight. But we are all different, as long as we all have healthy happy little babies at the end of it, a couple of lbs and a little wobble wont hurt :)

14w and nothing. But I'm only just exiting the constant nausea & now constantly starving & scoffing, so it'll pile on now.

With my DS I put on 2 3/4 stone by 9m. But I was 1 1/4 stone lighter to start with so I'm hoping to put a little less on but I won't count on it. Lost it all with breastfeeding in 4m & an extra 1/2 stone by 5m so not too worried.

38+3 with 8lbs

Lost a stone with hg though.. So once I gained that back its 22lbs.

Hated being terribly sick but I have to admit I'd do it again to have less weight to lose after... Shock

30 weeks and 21 lbs. I gained quite a bit 1st trimester as I was so hungry all the time, then I have peaks and plateaus.

Baby centre have a graph where you can see if you're average. Just google pregnancy weight gain tracker. I'm a bit obsessive about it having gained quite a bit early on.

Lost quite a bit in the first trimester due to vomiting. Not sure how much I've put on but I've clearly lost from elsewhere and gained a massive bump.
Today I'm wearing a dress that I fitted into pre pregnancy and it's fine - I'm 7 months ish along so I don't think that's too bad! Was overweight before though (size16) and am still nauseous at 7 mo. Not had much appetite at all, having to force myself to eat.
It'll be interesting to see what happens post birth. I have very bad spd and sickness so looking to that going away so I can do some excercise again !!

33 weeks and 20 pounds. I gained most in the first twenty weeks and it has slowed down lots. Baby was estimated at 4 pounds last week.

11 weeks and 4 pounds. In reality though I have had to eat what I can whenever and haven't been able to excercise so it could have been more if not for food aversion and nausea.

I expect the weight to accelerate - I'm already up 2 bra sizes. I refuse to tell myself off or feel guilty when it comes. It's important not to diet in pregnancy and feeling guilty won't help.

For the ladies with more weight - you can aim to sort yourself out later. Focus on making a lovely baby right now :)

30 weeks and I have gained 15lb so far but I actually lost 7lb in the first trimester which means I have gained 22lb in the past 17 weeks. I'm getting concerned now because my bump is already huge and if I continue to gain weight at this rate I will be absolutely enormous by 40 weeks. I haven't been good with my eating because I have been ravenous since the first trimester was over and I am constantly grazing. I really need to learn some self control.

Oh god I don't know why I read these threads, now I just feel depressed that at 24 weeks I am already 2 stone up Sad. How do people manage to put less on? I don't feel I've eaten much more than usual... well maybe a bit more, but it's not been wall to wall eating. I don't think I look enormous either. I think I'm in denial....

Another 15, possibly 17 weeks to go... I'm gonna be huge! Sad Sad Sad - just as long as my baby's healthy eh I'll just have to try and reclaim the wreckage that was my fit, active, pre-pregnancy body once he's born. Hopefully my spd will go and I will finally be able to move without either creaking, grunting or wheezing.

39 weeks, and about a stone and a half. I did put it all on by 16 weeks, though!

At 36 weeks I had put on 42 lbs. I had her 4 weeks early (she is a gorgeous 10 day squish in my arms now). If I went full term I would have probably put on close to 50 lbs.

28 weeks and may be 5-6 lbs. Feel like it is all mostly bump and not put on much elsewhere, but I was on larger side to begin with.

29 weeks and put in approx 9lbs. Was overweight to begin with so being conscious not to overload even more.

33 weeks and 11kg... I was tiny (borderline underweight BMI) to start and apparently they expect you to put on slightly more as your body builds reserves.
