My weight gain has been really odd because I've been gaining weight in spurts. From 18-22 weeks I gained 7lbs (and I've only gained 13 total, so I gained over half during those 4 weeks). Now I am at 26 weeks and I've only gained 1lb between 22 and 26 weeks! This makes me think I am in for another spurt next month. I wish I gained weight more steadily so that it would be more predictable. Did anyone else gain weight in spurts like this? Did it continue throughout your pregnancy?

Yes, I would gain in spurts and it made me panic! I had a 4 week span where I gained 8 lbs around the same time you gained 7. Then I only gained 1 lb the next month. I've only had one other spurt so far, and the rest has been a slow gain. Very weird!
-
Yup, I gained NINE pounds between wks 22 and 26...prior to that I had only gained like 6 lbs total! After that it evened out a bit, but there were some weeks I gained 2-3 and some weeks I gained none. I gained 32lbs total and delivered at 39w2d.

Yup. I barely gained anything the first half of my pregnancy. Then, I had two four-week spans where I gained 9 pounds and then 7 pounds. I went yesterday at 33 weeks and I went 3 weeks without gaining anything. It's been really inconsistent.
-
I actually gained steadily...too steadily :[[ I've gained at least a pound a week from 6w onwards. I haven't stepped on a scale other than at my dr appts because YUCK. It seems pretty normal to gain in spurts though!
-
I didn't gain a pound until 20 week and then between 20 & 24 I gained 11 pounds, and then another 2 months I gained 9 pounds! My doctor just laughed about it, because my sister was the same way! The last few weeks was more steady and I would gain 1 pound each time.
-
Erm, I gained btwn 6-8 lbs in the last week, after only gaining 1-2 the last two weeks! Yikes!
-
Yes, and I got told, at separate appoinments, that I needed to slow down on the weight gain and that I wasn't gaining enough weight. It evened out in the end to a 30lb weight gain.

@Corduroy: Same thing happened to me--2 appointments ago she said I wasn't gaining enough, then at my last appt (when I gained 7 lbs!) she said to slow down. I see her again next week...I wonder if she'll tell me I am not gaining enough again.
-
Yes, and it completely stressed me out! Every other appt I was either told to slow down or that I hadn't gained enough. Towards the end, I just tuned it out and as long as I felt healthy and stayed active, I didn't care about the numbers!
