Mine mostly came after 20 weeks.

I gained 24 total, but most of it was in the second trimester. I think I gained 15 by 20 weeks, then 5 more by the end of the second trimester. I only gained 4 more lbs in the last 3ish months.

Oh, and I did have GD. I think the diet is one reason I gained so little in the last trimester.

A pound a week til my second tri where I picked up speed. Ended up gaining 62.

I gained about 40 pounds with my 1st pregnancy. It was a pretty steady gain throughout from what I remember. I didn't have GD.

With this one, I'm up around 13 pounds at 21 weeks. I think I'm gaining slower this time but I'm sure I'll catch up at end!

I only weighed myself at the doctors office every month. During the first tri I gained about a pound a week. I was 4-5 pounds heavier at every visit. At 18 weeks I had gained 16 pounds. Then during the rest of my second trimester I gained about 10 pounds a month! At my 32 week visit I was up 50 pounds, but it seems like I've stopped gaining now because the last weigh in was only 2 pounds more. I'll guess I'll have to see at my 35 week appointment on Thursday.

I had GD and gained most of my weight in the 1st and 2nd tri (40 lbs total at 40 weeks).

@spaniellove: LOL I went to my first dr appt not expecting to have gained any, but had already gained 4 pounds by 6 weeks. After that I avoided a scale like the plague.

With both pregnancies I have gained nearly all of my weight in the second tri. It started coming on around 13/14 weeks and let up around 28 weeks with very little coming on in the third tri.

I can't remember specifics of my first, although I know I gained 32 lbs total and was up around 20 lbs at 20 weeks. This time, I gained 20 lbs between 13 and 24 weeks, most of it coming in spurts of three or four pounds in a week, followed by a plateau, then repeat. I'm currently 37 weeks and up 28 lbs, not likely to gain much more, if any at all.

We all gain our weight so differently and that recommended weight gain chart is really to be taken with a grain of salt!

Well I'm 13.5 weeks, and didn't weigh myself until 2 weeks ago, and had gained 10 lbs not off to a good start! I was on pelvic rest and hadn't changed my eating. The past two weeks I haven't gained any though since I was able to start light exercise.

I'm 17 weeks and have gained 15lbs
During my first tri I had to eat pretty much every two hours to keep the nausea at bay. It's been at a pretty steady rate though... I'm hoping to try and keep it under control...

@spaniellove: I've always wanted to ask your story? Is this your first?

@spaniellove: wow, that is some story! Huge congratulations to you on your pregnancy, you certainly deserve it after that dedication, I bet you will be a wonderful mum. Those that want it most always are

I'd like to add to my previous statement and mention that I have not stopped gaining weight!!

I'm even eating so much less (appetite loss I assume from being so big) and I'm still steadily climbing the scale. Sigh.

In my first pregnancy, I steadily gained 1lb/week until the second tri when my weight gain really sped up. Luckily, it slowed a lot in the third tri so I didn't gain so much in the end. I was probably around 40 lb total gain at the end, but with the trajectory I was taking, I was worried it was going to be like 60! I lost it all though in a few months pp (with some work). Don't get too worked up about it!

I was up 20 at 20 weeks. As a formerly petite fit person who never gained a pound no matter what I did! Don't feel bad about 12.

@spaniellove: I was up 12 pounds at 20 weeks. I am now at 35 pounds at 37 weeks. I feel as though my eating habits are about the same as pre-pregnancy, and I work out 6 days a week. So I have come to accept the fact that my body is just going to do what it is going to do.

@mskeee: that was how i was prior to being pregnant as well and now i'm up almost 10 lbs at 15 weeks, but trying to be ok with it and assuming it will all even out later on.
