For those of you who actually gained weight...

Just curious... did you gain it gradually, or in chunks at a time? I'm 6 1/2 months and I'm finally starting to gain. Um... actually, I've gained 10 pounds since I had some fluid taken out of my band last Monday. It's totally freaking me out. (I'm eating very, very well and not going bat-**** crazy eating a bunch of junk, LOL.)

Just wondering what "normal" is? I didn't gain anything at all for the first 6 months, so the fact that this much has come on so rapidly is really worrisome, to say the least. I have an OB appt tomorrow, so I'll discuss it with her as well. Thanks!

lets just say I gained 10lbs before the pee stick even turned positive.  my body just knew.  then it came on in chunks, and a ton at the end.  gained 50 in total, lost 25 so far... ugh

I didn't gain but lost 10lbs during the first 2 trimesters. Now I gained that back plus 5 lbs and my OB says the baby looks healthy and to keep doing what I need to do to maintain where I am at. I will say I am anxious to have him and start losing weight again and exercising!

I had RNY so I am not sure if it varies or not.

But ME personally--morning of BFP I was 203. Through 1st Trimester lost down to 197 and back up to 200 and since I have been in the 2nd Trimester I have gained up to 207 and 208 depending on the day.  According to the OB scales I have been 209 for going on 2 months so not too bad I guess b/c thats with clothes on lol!! 

So really overall 5 lbs or so gained and I have been a basket case and my DH whom I love dearly says ITS ok Honey, its b/c you have Hannah and b/c I want to have a healthy baby, I am better off with the weight gain so far.

I am not sure what "normal" is persee though but You are doing fine I am sure!!

Susie Q and Hannah Grace too!

I have gained a total of 21 lbs. I am hoping not to gain a whole lot more.

you will.  i gained like 20 lbs in the VERY end.... yuck!!

Oh lord. I hope not!!!!

I am gaining as well, I think it was 15lbs in the last month and I am freaking out about it! I am feeling like I have 2 personalities! One that knows I have to gain weight, and the other that wants to go on my 5day ouch test NOW! LOL

I'm like a week behind you and just started gaining this time. It could have something to do with the fact that all I want to eat is carbs... and once again it's about all that will stay down. While none of like gaining weight it's for a good reason and your tool will help you get rid of it later. That's why I keep telling myself. Goodluck.

I gained pretty smoothly I guess. I gained about 3 lbs during the first trimester, then started gained about a pound a week, on average. Some weeks I gained nothing, and one week I gained 3 (that was the most I gained in a week.) I haven't gained weight in 3 weeks though (getting near the end, so she's probably stopped growing, plus you lose a little weight from a reduction in amniotic fluid apparently.)
