After that point I really started to put on weight. I'm now at 29 weeks and almost 20 pounds above starting weight so I need to slow down. I've been putting on 2 lbs a week the last 8 weeks or so. I was hoping to only out on 25 lbs but that's not going to happen. avivoca on "How much weight had you gained at 20 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-at-20-weeks#post-819080 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:15:26 +0000 avivoca 819080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @daniellemybelle: I thought so too at my last appointment, but nope, just five pounds. I have been spot on for gaining about a pound a week since 10 weeks.

I'm hoping I'm like you ladies that didn't gain anything, or just a few pounds, but I seriously think I could step on the scale and have gone up 20 lbs... I have gotten bigger everywhere, not just my belly!

They are using my 10 week weight as my baseline though.

At 24 weeks now I'm scared to step on the scale. Everyone has noticed my belly pop out the past couple of weeks so I'm sure it's a scary number! lawbee11 on "How much weight had you gained at 20 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-at-20-weeks#post-819008 Thu, 30 May 2013 16:46:19 +0000 lawbee11 819008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 8lbs illumina on "How much weight had you gained at 20 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-at-20-weeks#post-819006 Thu, 30 May 2013 16:45:34 +0000 illumina 819006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think I had gained 7-8lbs by wk20.

At 20 weeks, I was still down a few pounds I think. Now, at 30 weeks, I'm up about 6 pounds. I was super nervous about not gaining, but because I was bigger to start, my midwife assured me this was fine!

I have been almost spot on at one pound per week this entire time. My midwife said with my starting weight they recommended between 35 and 40 so they didn't say anything about it. singingbee on "How much weight had you gained at 20 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-at-20-weeks#post-818746 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:29:08 +0000 singingbee 818746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm at 19 weeks and I'm still down 4 lbs from my first appointment. I'm hoping I start to gain some. I know I had some extra padding in there so I don't need to gain a lot, but I want to make sure I'm doing what is healthy for the baby. bushelandapeck on "How much weight had you gained at 20 weeks?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-at-20-weeks#post-818742 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:27:24 +0000 bushelandapeck 818742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think maybe 1-2 lbs.

I know every appointment starting around 20 I go in thinking i gained WAY too much weight since the last one, like I just grew so quickly, but every time, it's been right on target. I feel like my belly is expanding faster than the scale is going up, so I'm convinced my body is finally using all those fat resources I've been saving for it :) But seriously, I was nervous for every appointment until I just let it go. And my weight gain is pretty much by the book.

Prior to that I had such bad morning sickness that I was down 4 pounds from pre pregnancy weight.

Last time I went I was 15w and I had only gained 1 lb. I feel like I have seriously gained at least 20 lbs since then. I don't weigh myself at home so I don't know! They told me that once I hit 20w I should gain about 1 lb per week for the rest of my pregnancy... so technically I shouldn't have gained any weight, or maybe 1-2 lbs. I was already a good 20+ lbs overweight when I got pregnant so I am extra sensitive to it... but I guess I am just trying to brace myself! How much weight had you gained at this point?
