How much weight did you gain when pregnant?

I'm 21 weeks and have now gained 10lbs so far apparently!
According to the weight calculator this is about normal, wondering what anyone else had?

At 21 weeks I'd gained about 20lb, the pregnancy weight gain tracker said that I was way ahead of what I should have gained. Currently 33 weeks and have gained 25lb putting me back to "normal" weight gain. No idea why it's slowed down as I don't think I've done anything different. I was a normal BMI before getting pregnant. However I wouldn't take much notice of the weight gain personally, there's a lot going on and it's not worth stressing unnecessarily about something you can't really control Smile

With ds I put on around a stone and half. With dd (2 weeks old) I put on just over 2 stone. But both times it was all bump.

Ds was 7lb when he was born. Dd 8lb9.

3 stone in total.

Went from 9 - 12 stone and the first stone was gained by week 10 of pregnancy. Health professionals agreed all healthy and normal. I had a good pregnancy and birth, a lovely healthy baby who weighed just under 9 lbs.

The weight came off easily and by 4 months postpartum most of it was gone. I breastfed and stuffed my face! By 6 months postpartum I was back to 9 stone.

Try not to fixate on weight gain and the 'normal range' and good luck with the pregnancy Smile

Thank you very much for your responses :)
Yes you're right I shouldn't fixate on it!

3 stone in total and it isn't shifting after eight months at all, been eating healthy and breastfeeding but the weight has stuck. I used to get upset by it but I figure as long as my little boy is happy and healthy who cares Smile

With my 1st i put on 3stone i was too skinny then, i normally put on a stone with other babies, this time i lost 8lbs & now im 27wks and havent put on any weight so far but my baby has ,so id say every pregnancy is different.
