I'm 22 weeks and just under a 20 pound gain, so I think you're on track. I have been tracking my calories recently (after the holidays were over ) and have them set to maintenance. I do the same though, I use the calorie tracker to make sure I know how nutrient dense my food is, not so much to track my calories. I tend to eat a lot of the wrong stuff so I am hoping the logging will help with that. I feel guilty logging 2 doughnuts in my food log no matter how much I really wanted them, so that is helping. Otherwise, I have been trying to eat healthy and whenever I am hungry.

I track, just because otherwise I'd probably eat way too many carbs, and not enough protein. I was advised to gain between 25 and 35 pounds by my doctor, given my pre-pregnancy gain... Currently, my doctor says I'm on the right track to gain about 30 pounds.

I don't worry if I go over, and I'll eat if I am hungry. Like Ischmelle, I feel guilty if I log to much 'bad' food so logging helps as well

There are some days where I won't log, just because I'm eating out, or having a family dinner or etc. I don't worry too much about it. I gained 14.5 pounds so far and I'm at 26 weeks. I might actually increase my intake a little.

I'm going to keep tracking just because it kind of opens my eyes. The other day I really wanted a Reese's peanut butter cup and normally would have eaten about six (the small ones) until I put it in MFP and decided to only have three And at night when I'm eating just to eat before bed, it makes me think before I grab something when I'm not necessarily hungry. I don't deprive myself at all though but just try to pay attention a little. I've gained 20 so far (at 32 weeks) and am on track to gain about 28-30 which is exactly where I wanted to be since my dr wanted me to gain 25-35

I set my calories to maintenance and then usually eat back my exercise calories (which I don't do if I'm not pregnant). I teach spin classes so that can be a pretty significant calorie burn!

I am tracking, but have my settings for .5lb gain per week. I don't normally eat back the calories I burn from exercising, simply because I'm not hungry enough to eat more. I like tracking to make sure that I'm not eating far more than I think I am, but also because I like to try to keep my macronutrients at a 40-30-30 ratio.

I set my calorie goal to maintenance (1700) but some days I go over and some days I go under. I eat if I'm hungry and not if I don't. I'm not so worried about the count as making sure I hit my macro goals. I started very fit and haven't gained much, most of which I attribute to not being able to eat much or keep much down until about week 15. Then a week ago I caught a very nasty cold and haven't felt much like eating. Plus all the heartburn and indigestion and I get full really quickly. I'm 19 weeks today and have gained about 6 lbs (plus or minus a few, depending on the day). But hey - everyone is different!

I have not tracked my calories on this pregnancy, but I do try to exercise 5x/week. I have done the best on weight gain this time around (am up 20lbs and due next week). My first pregnancy I gained 30lbs, and 25lbs on the 2nd. My biggest weakness is sweets (I wish I could be better about this!), but mostly I just try to eat healthily and listen to my body and it's really OK!
