How much weight had you put on at 22 weeks?

Just turned 22 weeks pregnant and I've put on 11 pounds. Does this sound about right?
I have a noticeable bump and I'm only short and slim.

Sounds right to me :) You’re supposed to gain between 1-4 lb in the first 12 weeks and then a lb a week after that. So you should have gained at least 11 lb by now.

I had put on 4lbs. I had bad sickness that didn’t ease until 20 weeks though so I think that was the lower end of the scale. I’m 25 weeks now and making up for it.

I think to some degree it depends on your starting weight. If you're underweight then you might put on a bit more and if you're overweight a bit less. For example I'm overweight and had put on 11lbs by 22 weeks. I'm currently 37 weeks and have put on a total of 14lbs now. I was weighed by the midwife the other day and she wasn't worried at all.

I’m a normal weight (right in the middle of healthy BMI) so should have put on more, but it’s hard when you throw up everything you eat!

I'm now 27 weeks and have gained 11lbs.
