I am at week 24 and have gained 7 lbs. It all depends on the person. Some people lose weight at first and then gain it slowly and some gain it the whole way through their pregnancy. There really is no norm because it really just depends on the person. Don't worry, and if you are, ask your OB. If they are not worried then great!

I'm 14 and have gained 3. They say in 2nd tri you should gain about a pound a week. I would say you're doing fine.

21 and up 3 (but I lost 10 so I guess technically I am -7).  With my 1st I had gained around 20 lbs at this point though.

I was down 4 lbs at 13 weeks. I go back on Friday at 17 weeks, and I am anxious to see if I have gained. I got on the crappy scales at my mom's house and it hasn't moved up any, so we will see!

I'm 17 weeks and gained 5. I think average weight gain is 1-5 lbs the first tri, then a pound a week for the next 25/26 weeks.

Last pregnancy I had gained about 5 by 12 weeks, then barely gained for most of the second tri, and only ended up gaining 22 total.  Baby was just under 7lbs.

I was 146 when I started TTC. I went on a diet and got down to 137. Now at almost 15 weeks, I'm back to around 146 again. I gained most of that in the first few weeks, as soon as I started eating a lot of bread. Doctor didn't say a word about it.

I am 22w4d and I have gained 10 lbs so far. I think "normal" can be so different between any person and any pregnancy. I would say someone's weight gain is normal unless the doctor has concerns.

I'm 26 weeks now and because of severe morning sickness I lost 20lbs almost immediately after getting pregnant. I am finally back to my prepregnancy weight. My last pregnant was almost identical (weight wise) and I ended up weighing +15 when I delivered at 42 weeks

I've gained 20lbs so far, or maybe more since I haven't weighed myself in a week.

I've gained 20... and haven't thought much about it until I see everyone's elses numbers! Tongue Tied I was a little underweight to start, so hopefully that doesn't mean that I'm going to gain a lot of weight I can't lose after. I wasn't really sick with this pregnancy, just SO HUNGRY.

I wouldn't worry unless your doctor is worried. Everyone's body is different.

Oh my gosh, all you ladies who have gained next to nothing or nothing are making me feel bad! That combined with the fact that I've just bust out of most of my pants in the last few days. I started out at 5'7" and 130 lbs, now I'm up to 135 lbs at 13 weeks. We're supposed to gain 25-35 lbs and I'm worried I'll go over because I'm so hungry all the time, wasn't that sick in T1, and all I crave is junk food. Vegetables make my stomach turn.

You sound exactly like me (except I'm 5'3" and muscular).  I have gained 10 lbs at almost 19 weeks.  I wasn't sick at all during the 1st trimester, but I have been absolutely repulsed by vegetables.  I'm usually a very healthy eater, but my only cravings are carbs and sweets.  If the vegetables have any butter or flavoring other than salt, I can't stomach them.  I'm exercising 4-5 times per week, and trying to eat around 1500-2000 calories a day, which my regular diet is around 1200 per day.  I'm gaining about a lb per week, which I think is just fine.  I wasn't overweight or underweight when I got pregnant, but I was fit.  I wouldn't worry or judge yourself against other people. I'm sure not.

23 weeks, 17 pounds. Dr was quite pleased with my progress so I'm not concerned. Baby boy needs it to grow that's my mantra!

I am 13w3d and I have gained 4.5 lbs.  I agree with pp's, everyone is different!  Enjoy your pregnancy and just be as healthy as you can be.  If your doc is worried about it then you shouldn't be either.  Pregnancy is a time to do away with diets and all things related to societal beauty regulations.  Healthy is the most important!!

My last pregnancy I was about the same at that point. I ended up gaining 50 total officially, but 25 or so was gone before I even made it home from the hospital.  I had a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.  I did stress over the weight at the time but wish I hadn't, looking back.

I've gained around 15. I never got sick so I didn't loose any weight in the beginning.

26 weeks and still down 4 lbs. Never had morning sickness or anything it is just the way my body reacts to being pg. I loose a bunch at the beginning and then slowly slowly gain it back. pg #1 I gained 7 lbs, pg #2 12 lbs. I don' think there is any "normal" when it comes to being pg, every woman is different and every pg is different. As long as the dr isn't worried i don't worry either.
