How much weight have you all gained?

Question

I’m 21 weeks tomorrow and stepped on the scales for the first time today. I have gained about 11lbs already. I really need to cut back cause some people have gained nothing. Does this seem a lot?

Answer

I’m also 21 weeks and have gained 17lbs. My midwife prefers a 40ish lb weight gain, especially for those who start off smaller, because it helps increase the blood volume of your body and you can handle a hemorrhage better. Listen to your body’s hunger cues and focus on eating lots of protein and veggies.

Answer

I'm 23 weeks have gained 11 pounds. In the past 2 weeks I've gained like 6 pounds. I had barely gained anything now. But that's normal for how far along you are.

Answer

Im only 18 weeks but ive actually lost 5 lbs. I cant gain any weight this pregnancy. Ive been trying to eat as much as i can while im hungry and nothings happening. 
When i was pregnant with my first kid i gained like 60 lbs by 39 weeks. So maybe im okay because of the extra weight i put on with her? I dont know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Almost 21 weeks and gained 15 lbs so far... midwife wasn’t worried at all. If your doctor/midwife isn’t worried about weight gain/loss then there’s no reason for you to be either! Some women gain steadily throughout, other lose than gain a ton later on! Everybody is different!

Answer

20 weeks and gained 12. 
I was underweight to begin with so I’m on track but it makes me want to cut back as well. It’s tough seeing the scale rise so quickly 😅 
I have to remind myself some of that weight is extra blood, boob weight, baby, extra fluid, etc. not all “fat”.

Answer

19 weeks gained 10 so far. My doctor is worried.
