    I gained 7lbs by then and I stayed at 7lbs I would lose a couple and then gain it back over the course of my whole pregnancy, but I never went over 7lbs.

    My weight bounced around A LOT between 18-22 weeks. I went from +14lbs at 18 weeks, to +20lbs at 20 weeks, back to +17lbs by 22 weeks. I probably had some water retention?!
    I'm now 35 weeks and about +25-26lbs

    Wow!! Amazing to be to able to keep the weight under 10lbs. The Dr's got me at a 10lb gain, I've got myself at a 13lb gain. UGH!! But admittedly I have not exercised up until like yesterday (19 weeks tomorrow) and I had stopped logging my food until this week. Once I started food logging I quickly found out why I have gained as much as I have.

    I'm at 20 weeks right now, and I've gained about 10lbs. However, I'm pretty small, so 10 lbs looks like a LOT on me.

    I was 20 lbs at 20 weeks. I started out small, but I also had a miserable first tri during which I nausea-ate my way up to 14 lbs. I'm now getting close to 25 lbs at 22 weeks. Yesterday I had a talk with my midwife about my concerns, and she seemed to think nothing was amiss.

    obum88 & snowgrrl83: I want to know how you went DOWN after being at 20 lbs! I only seem to being going up.

    I'm 19 + 3, lost 7lb in the first trimester and have gained back 2.5lb so far. It's been more difficult to gain than I anticipated, but am sure it's just the calm before the storm. I should probably knock on wood now... :laugh:

    Thlaser, might have been a fluke with water wieght, but i also stopped nausea eating put down the angus burger with large sweet tea from mcdonalds and started with salads and fruits. I was overdoing the juice so i am trying more water and green tea. I find if there is something i am craving i can make it at home and i had to retrain my mind to recognize fullness and correct portions. It still is fight everyday as i work nights and i want to snack in those wee morning hours but have to schedule foods so i don't boredom eat.

    I'm 19w3d and as of this morning, I've gained 15.2lbs. I've been logging and exercising the whole time, so I guess that's just the way it's meant to be! I started with a 21.2 BMI so maybe my body just felt the need to add some weight (started at 151.8 and am now 167)...I dread seeing 17-something on the scale :frown:

    I am 22 weeks tomorrow. I fluctuate between +15 and +18lbs. I stopped working and moved around November 3rd. That's when I saw the +10lbs come on. I just started logging my food again today. I just wish it wasn't so cold so I could walk everyday! I'm really upset with myself for gaining. It's depressing when I see that some women have only gained 2lbs by this point. I lost 100lbs last year and was determined to never see 200lbs again. Now, I'm sitting at 205lbs. :(

    I am at 15 and at 24 weeks... I consider it to be way to much but dr says stop obsessing. I am just terrified of gaining back the enormous amount of weight I lost prior to getting pregnant.
