    I read a couple articles that indicated maternal fat gain takes place earlier in pregnancy and pretty much tops off by 20 weeks. The remaining weight gain in the second and third trimesters is baby, blood, placenta, fluids, etc. I thought that was interesting and it helped me chill out a bit!

    My doctor actually just told me this yesterday. She says anything you gain after 20 weeks should come off pretty easily--most are stuck with what they gained up to 20 weeks.

    Well that's good news considering I gained less than 5 lbs up to 20 weeks!

    This is my third pregnancy and I have had extreme experiences both ways. My first pregnancy, I was over-stressed and only gained a total of 15 pounds and was 30 pounds lighter within a week of delivery. My second pregnancy, I was so scared of depriving myself & the baby, that I gained a whopping 65 pounds and struggled to get the weight off and couldn't maintain my pre-pregnancy weight afterwards. I dropped down to an unhealthy weight and then climbed right back up.
    This pregnancy, I have tried to limit myself to only gain about 20-30 pound total since I was a little heavy when I got pregnant. But with 7 weeks left, I have already hit the 30 pound mark and am now struggling to maintain my current weight and not get any bigger.

    That IS super interesting about the fat stores being built up in the first 20 weeks! My son I was pp weight at 20 weeks and gained 23 lbs after that, lost the 23 lbs within 8 days of birth. My daughter I have no clue as i was afraid to step on a scale until I was 2 months pp. 20 weeks with my daughter I was up 10 lbs, and gained 36 more after that... 2 months pp I was only down 22 lbs, but I could have been eating crazy while BFing. I was so upset when I did my measurements recently and realized my butt was up 2" already! I was horrified, but if that's the fat stores and if I eat reasonable maybe that's the only inches on my butt I'll have to lose I guess I'll count myself lucky. Will be trying to keep my cool about the weight I've put on and the future weight I put on. I couldn't believe with my son I put on 6 lbs in the last two weeks alone! (when he went overdue!) It's amazing how quickly it can happen and how quickly or not quickly it can come off. Every pregnancy (even for the same person) is so different!

    Yes! I was shocked at the doctor's office at my 22 week weigh in. I went up 12lbs in one month! That is, by far, my biggest weight jump. My second biggest weight jump was at 26 week visit and I was only up 4lbs at that appointment. There were a couple other women on here that also said around 20-22 weeks was their highest gain. I read online somewhere that the baby doubles in size about this time.

    Hi All

    realised i hadnt checked in since i was 25 weeks! im 32 weeks now and in total am up 15lbs (i was up 12lbs at 25 weeks) this has been higher and lower - it seems to fluctuate depending on the day!

    happy with it over all though as i havent been able to keep active as my hip was sore for a time and i have eaten a lot of chocloate and sweets - its what the baby wants!

    36 week doctor check in and I've gained a total of 20lbs. I had a goal of no more than 25lbs so hopefully I'll be able to meet that and lose it all quickly! Some have told me they gained the most the last part of pregnancy but I gained most of mine during the first/second trimester and have only gained a total of 5lbs during my third. I guess I'll see what the next 4 weeks bring, hopefully just a baby and not much more weight!
