2nd Trimester weight gain?

Hi, I'm 25.5 weeks and wondered how much weight people gained in their second trimester?

Before pregnancy I weighed around 58kgs and after weighing myself this morning before breakfast I'm at 61kgs (roughly 6lbs put on). Is this enough or should I be gaining more at this stage?

Thanks

Because of first trimester weight loss I'm also only 7-8lbs up on my pre-pregnancy weight at 26+5. My weight goes up in fits and starts I have ~3 weeks where I don't gain anything then I will have a week of gaining weight and repeat. I don't know if I am gaining enough either, I am hoping to ask my midwife at my 28 week check. I'm relatively happy that it does seem to be going up at a steady rate, I do start to get a bit panicked at the end of the third week of no gain just as I'm building myself up to speak to my midwife/GP I put on weight. My bump is clearly growing too.
In answer to your question... I don't know but I'm feeling the same!

I’m 18 weeks at the moment and have put on 1lb in the last 2 weeks. I’m still 7lbs lighter than I was in January!

My midwife said about 1lb a week is normal in the second tri.
