How much weight did you gain?

I'm at 25 1/2 weeks and I've gained 16 pounds. My doctor said 25-30 pounds would be expected. My weight before I got pregnant was 126-128 I believe.

I didn't gain any weight really until around 16 weeks or so. Then--look out!! I'm pretty scared really, but I think as overweight people to begin with, we are going to have that fear. Just gotta keep telling myself it's for a good cause, and a "normal" amount of weight gain is okay.

I weighed 178 when I got pregnant. I have gained 10lbs when I was last in the drs office on July 13. I am 20 weeks today, and both the OB and my nutrionalist (who I see monthly) said to expect to gain 20lbs more, and they are both fine with that. I did just have 4 days of that intense pregnancy hunger and my stomach popped out overnight, so I am interested to see what happens when I am back at the OB in a week.

 I am 39 weeks and 2 days, and I have gained 45 lbs. Not happy, but it is what it is. 

I gained a total of 18 lbs after I lost about 15, weight gain was a concern at the beginning cause I wasnt gaining...second trimester...problem solved.

I am down to my pre prego weight now, and still dropping (if i would lay off the chocolate!) I am still breast feeding though so I am not really concerned with the weight right now.  Honestly I could stay where I am and be perfectly fine for the rest of my life.  Any smaller and people tell me I look sick...(hate those people!).

Good luck and heres to a HAPPY AND HEALTHY NINE MONTHS!!

 Thanks for the reply..I have not lost or gained anything. Im just hoping that I do not go over what the Ob just wants me to gain.
