22 weeks pregnancy & weight gain

Hi ladies, I just wanted to get a rough idea of what everyone's experience with weight gain was by 22 weeks. I didn't lose any weight before 12 weeks as my sickness wasn't bad and have gained around a stone by 22 weeks. Is this within normal range/too high? I know everyone's different and I shouldn't be worrying about weight gain, I was just curious😊

Thanks in advance!

If it helps at all I've gained just over a stone at 23 weeks although a fair chunk was in first trimester as I ate many carbs to combat nausea/struggled a bit with exercise.

One of the apps I downloaded, ovia, has a weight tracker which shows this as being upper end but healthy. I think if we only gain 1/2 to 1 lb per week from now on average that should fit into the 25 to 35 recommendation for average women 😊

I've gained quite abit, about 6lb and I'm only 16 weeks, I'm expecting a big gain as I look 6 months pregnant already 😩 I eat relatively well usually but the past couple of weeks I've relaxed my healthy eating and gave in to temptation

Gained 2 stone at 26 weeks - eek! Am active and fit generally but nausea caused issues.

Must be something in the air as there was a thread on this earlier in the week, some good reassuring posts on there OP.
I've put on more than 1.5 stone Blush and I was titchy before but midwife wasn't in the least bit bothered about it at my 31 week appointment. Baby isn't measuring especially big either so must be a combo of carbs and much less exercise but as I say midwife hardly blinked (luckily).

I lost a stone during 1st trimester, but have now put that back on plus another stone at 22 weeks. I’m hungry all the time now I don’t feel sick anymore.

I'm 28 weeks and have gained about 10 pounds so far. I still don't look pregnant lol.

I'm almost 21 weeks and I've gained a stone!

Thank you ladies for your comments, it seems a fairly even spread of those gaining not a lot and those gaining more. Looked into the height/how many weeks ratio chart which has helped😊
