i gained 45+ with charlie and i'm only 5' 2" so that's a lot of weight!

i gained less than 25 with olive. a much, much easier pregnancy because i didn't gain so much.

I gained around 50. But I also retained a ton of water towards the end. I lost 40lbs by my 6 week pp appointment.

I'm at 30 lbs (33 wks preg), 5'7"... and on my way to hopefully stay under 40?

I'm 5'4" and voted 0-10 lbs, because my gross weight gain was 4 lbs. In reality, though, I lost around 15 lbs in the first trimester, put it back on to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, and then gained 4 lbs on top of that. So about 20 lbs total.

I was at 20lbs at 30 weeks. I'm trying to stay under 30 total, but we'll see.

I have 3 weeks to go, but was up 28 weeks at my 36 week appt, so I'm guessing I will be between 30 and 40--hopefully around 30/32.

ETA that I am 5'7" and was 130 pre pregnancy.

I gained 35lbs. I'm 5'1 and weighed 90lbs pre pregnancy.

Closer to 40lbs, I was 115 pre and 5'5

I gained 45lbs. I was 144lbs when I got pregnant. I'm 5'7. I am still holding on to ~15-20lbs @ 16w/pp, but I'm working on eating better to help get it off.

One of the docs at my OBGYN practice said that 40 lbs is average, but they would prefer you stay in the 25 to 35 lb range. I'm 29.5 weeks and have gained roughly 25 lbs.

I gained around 50 but I also had crazy swelling and pitting edema, I would press dimples into my feet and legs that would last 20 minutes. I lost a tremendous amount before my 6 week follow up but the last 10lbs were quite stubborn and didn't fall off until DS started solids (right around when AF returned at 8 months).

Gained about 40 with each pregnancy, lost 35 in the first 6 weeks with both. Let's hope this time around it doesn't take a year to lose the last 5! Oh, I am 5'6".

@MusicaV: Oh, I did at the very very end. I think it's a sign of impending labor.

i gained exactly 40lbs. i lost 32 of it within the first 4ish weeks, i was soooooo bloated and retaining sooo much water. it was finally nice to see my knees again haha

I gained 32 lbs.

I'm 5'8 and weighed 136 lbs pre-pregnancy. At 14 weeks pp, I still have 14 lbs left to go to get back to that weight, sigh.

I gained about 50-55 with LO.
This time around I'm up 22lbs at 28 weeks.

15 pounds. Was down to 5 below my starting weight by a week after giving birth. Then I gained 10 pounds at 5 months when my hormones went wacky, and I can't seem to lose it all. Breastfeeding can mess with you like that.

At 28w, I'm up between 24-26 pounds. I feel like it's a ton. I'm 5'9'', and freaking out what the upcoming weeks will look like!

I started out underweight (5'7" 115lbs) so I was told to gain 25-40. I gained 35. I've lost all but 8lbs at 6 weeks pp & am happy with that!
