ok, so with my other babies I was overweight and lost weight while pregant with them. So this time is so different for me. So far I think I have gained about 5-6 lbs. I am about 11 to 12 weeks pregnant. I am just curious as to which trimest do you gain the most weight and about how much is norman.
thanks

Unfortunately, everyone is different.  You will probably get a lot of different answers.  For me, I gained a TON of weight in my first trimester, gained a tiny amount in my second and didn't gain more than a pound or two in my third.  However, I ate anything and everything my first trimester because I was trying to figure out how to stop the nausea.  Towards the end I hated how fat I looked so I made better decisions and started walking my butt off.

Just a quick question for you...how long did it take for the pregnancy weight to come off, how much had you gained? I am a month and a half post pregnancy and I have 25lbs to lose I am sooo mad at myself for gaining the weight but I am determined to get it off!

I am still battling with the weight.  I was 156 at my 6 week check-up, a year prior to that I was 145.  Eeek.  I am now anywhere from 163-165.  I am lazy though, well kind of.  I don't go to the gym and I eat a lot of crap.  I suck when it comes to self control.  I just got a nike+ sport thingy for my ipod a few days ago and am determined to get the weight off.  I ran yesterday morning and plan on doing that 3 days a week or so.  It is just so dang hot here right now that it is hard to do and I refuse to put my daughter in the day care at the gym.  1 - its dirty and 2 - I only get a few hours a night with her and don't want to waste over an hour of our precious time at the gym without her.

I lost weight my first trimester and all the weight that I have gained I gained in the third trimester. As Malena said - everyone is different, you'll probably get a lot of different responses here. Some women don't gain weight at all.

This is my first pregnancy but according to the doc's office I had lost 6 pounds and have gained back 5 of those...so still down 1 pound since getting pregnant and I am 16 weeks today...

I gained 2 pounds during the first trimester and another two since then for a total of 5 pounds gained at 15 weeks.  Like another poster said, everyone is different.  I also don't know which trimester you gain the most weight as this is my first pregnancy.  
Good luck to you.

I'll be 13 weeks this friday. I go up and down 3-5lbs but haven't actually gained any weight from my stable pre-pregnancy weight.

As everyone is saying everyone is different. All I can tell you is watch what you eat. My first trimester I gained maybe 3 lbs the second trimester I gained like 25lbs and the last I gained 12lbs I am kicking my self now I wish I would have been more careful with my choice of foods. Hopefully its easier for you, because as we all know its soo easy to put on and soo hard to get off!

with my first  2 pregnancies i started out at like this

1st pregnancy starting weight = 210
1st pregnancy after delivery 2 weeks later=185

2nd pregnancy starting weight = 205
2nd pregnancy after deliver 2 weeks later = 186

now my current pregnancy....
starting weight= 183
12-13 weeks along =169

mind you with all pregnancies i have severe morning sickness...i take zofran 3x / day for it! i can barely eat...unfortunately its always the same! everyones body is different and even retains water differently...but any time i did gain it was in the 3rd trimester...

best of luck!
