I measured small the whole time, had weekly ultrasounds on account of it and had a normal 7.5 lb baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1296475 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 12:52:07 +0000 MoonMoon 1296475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry! At 20 weeks, I had only gained back what I lost during the first trimester due to morning sickness. My doctor didn't worry-I didn't gain that much weight overall, but baby was born big and healthy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1296428 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 11:39:09 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1296428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was only up 3lbs at 20 weeks. I think I lost weight during first tri thanks to MS. I wouldn't be worried though, as long as your doctor isn't concerned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1296338 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 10:09:05 +0000 MrsH 1296338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: I had lost a lb by that time but I was overweight to start with. I'm 36 weeks now and up 20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1296214 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 02:59:31 +0000 Sapphiresun 1296214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry too much. I lost 12 lbs in the first trimester/early second due to MS, so was still below pre-pregnancy weight and only ended up gaining 14 over my starting weight my entire pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1296189 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 00:11:41 +0000 Periwinkle 1296189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember exactly where I was at 20 weeks, but I don't think it was more than 5 or 6 pounds up. I only gained about 20 pounds the whole pregnancy (I was so worried about this the whole time, but my doctor reminded me that everyone gains differently). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1296158 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 22:51:05 +0000 lemondrop 1296158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my pregnancies I've been so sick until 22 weeks that I didn't gain until just after that. My first was a healthy 6lb 11 oz, and things are measuring on track so far with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1296127 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 21:53:46 +0000 delight 1296127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 10 lbs in first trimester and started putting it back on around week 16 and gained steadily til the end. I was up 4 lbs at 20 weeks and 40 by the end :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1275299 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 03:02:42 +0000 erinpye 1275299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost and didn't gain a single pound until 24 weeks, due to being extremely ill. Every body is different and as long as your doctor isn't worried, don't worry yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1274291 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:09:33 +0000 deerylou 1274291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry. As long as you're eating well, and measuring relatively on track, you're totally fine. I only gained 18 pounds and went to 42 weeks. By 20 weeks, I don't think I had gained very much, at all. Most of my weight gain occurred in the third trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1274284 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:06:35 +0000 LovelyPlum 1274284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was up 20 pounds at 20 weeks, but I think I'm the exception to the rule. As long as you're eating, I wouldn't worry too, too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1274249 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:51:38 +0000 SweetMamaM 1274249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd only put on a kilo. Even at almost 30 weeks, I'm only five kilos (like 12 lbs?) up on my pre-pregnancy weight and my midwife is not concerned at all. She says that as long as fundal height keeps growing, baby is getting what he/she needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1274234 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:43:51 +0000 HazelEyes 1274234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: I was only up maybe 3 lbs at my 20 week appt, but had a HUGE growth spurt before my 24 last week--which my doc said was common-- and now am up 10. Could have been Thanksgiving, or my newfound insatiable hunger, but I"m going with growth spurt :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273754 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:08:11 +0000 singingbee 1273754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: I was down 5 lbs at 20 weeks. I didn't start gaining until week 26 and all of a sudden I was up a couple of pounds.</p> <p>Eta: LO was a healthy 8 lbs 14 oz---two weeks early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273747 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:07:00 +0000 winniebee 1273747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry you will catch up!</p> <p>I think I gained 4 in the first tri and then 16 in second tri and 10 in third. By 20 wks I want to say i had gained 8 lbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273699 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:48:38 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1273699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was up around 5 pounds give or take at that point. Now I'm 26 weeks and up 11-12 pounds.. so don't worry, it will come! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273688 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:46:24 +0000 Bluebonnet 1273688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, I lost 12 lbs in the first trimester. At 20 weeks I'm sure I was below my pre-pregnancy weight. LO was a big baby and was born at 40 weeks, so don't stress. My second and third trimester I did steadily gain (because I was finally able to keep down food)!!</p> <p>I'm pregnant again and at 20 weeks I think I had gained 3 lbs. </p> <p>Don't stress too much. Focus on eating healthy foods and eating when you are hungry and you'll be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273618 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:28:26 +0000 HabesBabe 1273618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fattie, so I'm the same weight I was when I got pregnant (19 weeks now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273584 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:22:20 +0000 MrsKoala 1273584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost during the first tri due to the nausea and aversions. By 20 weeks, I was back to prepreg weight and hadn't gained anything yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273491 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:48:28 +0000 MCD919 1273491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 10 pounds by 20 weeks, but I had very mild morning sickness, snacked more, and was on the lower end of normal for BMI starting out (5'3" and 109lbs). Don't worry-- I think it's normal to put on the majority of your weight in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273485 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:44:32 +0000 nana87 1273485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my last appointment weigh in, just shy of 20 weeks, I was only up 2 lbs from my 6 week appointment, which is still less than I weighed before getting pregnant. And I only gained at all after 16 weeks--before I was losing weight. My doctor hasn't said a word about my weight yet, so I'm trying not to think about it, haha.</p> <p>I asked a similar question awhile back and got more answers too, if you want more to read more responses! :) <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lost-or-maintained-your-weight-during-the-first-trimester" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lost-or-maintained-your-weight-during-the-first-trimester</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273465 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:36:01 +0000 Beyond2 1273465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all for the reassurance!

I had a full term 6lb 17ounce baby and by the day I delivered I was only up 18 lbs. don't worry, you'll be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273067 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 08:09:14 +0000 PinkElephant 1273067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 18 wks and up about 5 pounds. My doctor doesn't believe weigh-ins are necessary, so the only reason I know this is I stepped on a scale recently with my LO to assess how much weight SHE had gained recently. :)</p> <p>Currently my bump looks drastically different depending on the time of day (it gets massively bigger after lunch!) I didn't lose any weight from morning sickness, so if you're trying to stage a comeback from being ill in the first trimester, it's easy to see how you might not have gained much at all.. Like others have said... try not to stress. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273058 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 08:04:17 +0000 avivoca 1273058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 20 lbs by 20 weeks. I pretty much started packing on the weight as soon as my body registered the pregnancy, but I also had GD. Next time I will be following the diet from the start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273043 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 07:52:26 +0000 Dandelion 1273043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 23 weeks, and I've only stayed the same weight. Last pregnancy I was still down 8 pounds from losing 11 in the first half.</p> <p>I wouldn't worry about it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273041 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 07:51:30 +0000 bushelandapeck 1273041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't gain anything until well into the second trimester...maybe 20-21 weeks? I only gained 21 lbs total and LO was a perfectly healthy weight when he was born. I wouldn't stress about it if your doctor isn't concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273038 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 07:49:47 +0000 Mae 1273038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same!! I'm at 19w3d and down 5 lbs from bfp date (down 2 lbs according to doc bc they go based on 8week weight as first weight). I'm also barely showing. </p> <p>I asked my doc about this at my last appt (16w5d) and she said I was eating well so she had absolutely no concerns. I also had my anatomy scan at 18w1d and<br /> baby measured perfectly on target for size and weight. </p> <p>Everyone carries differently- don't stress!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1273035 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 07:49:09 +0000 Honeygold89 1273035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry too much by 20 weeks I was down 4 or 5 pounds and during the first trimester and most of the second I didn't really gain weight and baby was fine and right on point to the day and now I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow I have only gained like 6-7 pounds so I'm up 2 pounds my prepregnancy weight and my MW is no where near concerned in fact at my last appt last week she was telling me how good I was doing with the whole pregnancy and weight thing and said she was proud so no worries mama as long as baby is growing your weight doesn't matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained-by-20-weeks#post-1272992 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 06:58:02 +0000 MrsRcCar 1272992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the same boat with you. Although I am nearly 27 weeks now and am up like 4 maybe 5 pounds (could be from the thanksgiving holiday). My doctor is not concerned at all, plus this happened with my first pregnancy as well. I never really gained any weight last time. I lost 30 pounds in the beginning and only gained 10 of that 30 back the whole pregnancy. Some people are just like that. :) </p>
