I know most of the weight will be gained during the last half. Just wondering how much weight everyone gained in the first half.
Feel free to put in the comments how that compared to the last half.

I'm not sure by 20 weeks..I would say probably 10? I'm glad my OB didn't tell me to try and stick to 25# because that is NOT going to happen.

I don't remember with my first, but I was only up 3 lbs with my second. I was diagnosed with GD at 18 weeks, and that pretty much stopped any weight gain I could have potentially packed on in those 2 weeks.

Dang! All these tiny women! I had gained 20-25 lbs at 20 weeks.

I gained a majority of my weight during the 1st trimester because I was afraid of getting morning sickness and not being able to eat so I indulged. Turns out, I didn't get morning sickness (thank goodness), so I slowed my roll on the food. I was forced to gain weight in my 3rd trimester.

I think around 13 with my first. 2-3 with my second since my ms was so bad.

In the last 2 weeks I've suddenly gained 10! I think eating nothing but carbs is finally catching up to me lol. Time for plan B.
ETA: I'm only 15 weeks.

I don't remember exactly, but it was around 10-12 lbs. I gained 4 during my first trimester since I never had any morning sickness and it was pretty steady from there.

I think about 8 lbs? Definitely have packed on during the 2nd half of my pregnancy, I'm at 27 pounds at 34 weeks pregnant!

I'm 21 weeks and up about 10ish pounds. But I haven't been weighed since my last appointment 3 weeks ago, when I was up almost 8lbs.

At my appointment yesterday (20w5d), I was up 8.8 pounds. My midwife said to aim for about 10 pounds gain at 20 weeks, but they seemed happy enough even though I'd gained a bit less. I was definitely happy that I hadn't gained too much because I've unfortunately been eating like crap the past couple weeks!

@BabyBoecksMom: lol I'm not sure about tiny women - at 12 weeks I'm up 500g. I'm an overweight woman, so I think my baby is just living off my fat stores at the moment

At 20 weeks I was up 8lbs. I gained 33 total, and a majority of that weight gain was towards the end of the third tri.

At 19w, I'm up about 8lbs...almost all in the second trimester. I'm really not eating much more than I was pre-pregnancy (and during first trimester I was definitely not)...but my body's just holding onto it somehow. I'm still working out regularly, though at lower intensity and it ends up being fewer days a week (generally 4 days instead of 5-6). None of these changes could account for how quickly I'm gaining though...except possibly that I'm eating more carbs than before (trying to change that now that nausea has finally abated in the last couple of weeks).

I was definitely up 20 lbs by 20 weeks...I gained over 50 lbs during my pregnancy

I was overweight to begin with and gained 8lb in the first trimester, 10lb in the second. I was diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks and then gained nothing in the third tri - making my overall gain 18lb. I lost 10lb of that in the delivery room (almost 6lb was baby) and at 3wks pp I'm only 2lb over my pre pregnancy weight (but I still have a pregnant looking belly).
