I looked at the scale for the first time in a while and I'm up 10 lbs. I guess that is in the realm of normal for 19 weeks? I was hoping for a little less, because I know I gained a LOT in weeks 20-39 last time.
With my daughter, I gained 40 lbs, although I know a fair amount was fluid (I left the hospital 15 lbs lighter, then peed out another 10 in the first week PP) and was almost back to pre-preg weight by the time I went back to work. So although 40 lbs wasn't as bad as I would have thought, I'd still rather avoid a repeat.

I'm up about 8lbs. Last time I gained about 25, lost some during delivery, and gained it back while breastfeeding. I had to bust my butt to take the weight off, so it's a little hard to see weight gain on the scale, but I know it's healthy for baby.

Last appointment I was up 3 lb. But that was about four weeks ago and I feel my appetite has really increased in the last couple weeks. My belly has popped too. So I'm guessing I've gained a few more.
Last pregnancy, I lost in the first trimester and gained exactly 1 pound the whole pregnancy, so I was down at 20 weeks. I was also 30+ pounds heavier starting out than this time. I don't want to have a lot to lose pp but I'm no longer obese either, so I expect to gain some, up to 20 lbs.
I've gained about 12 so far, probably more though because I haven't weighed myself in around 2 weeks. I'm starting to eat healthier and am more active now that my nausea is better so hopefully I'll still end up around my 25 pound goal.
My first I gained 36 and it fell off like nothing and I ended up weighing less than I had in years. I thank my 9 pound 13 oz breastfeeding baby for that, but not for the stretch marks!
My second I gained around 28 and it came off much slower than with my first, I was very disappointed. It took about 6 months to lose it all.
I'm up 11.5 so far at 21 weeks. This is my first pregnancy so not sure what to expect, but hoping to end up gaining in the 25lb range. I might be out to lunch here lol

I actually don't know. I haven't stepped on the scale at home or looked while they are weighing me at my OB appts. I really don't want to stress about weight gain with this PG so I can really enjoy it. I know that if I knew I was gaining a lot more than I did with DS then I would worry about it a lot. I assume that my OB would discuss it with me if she was concerned I was gaining too much.
With DS I ended up loosing 11 lbs (I didn't take any meds to help with the nausea with him) in the beginning from MS and then gaining that plus 8 lbs back. DS was 8 lbs 6 oz, so with him and the placenta I actually left the birth center weighing less than I did PP with him. I gained a ton of weight post birth though due to not eating right so I know I will have to watch out for that this time. Since I am actually taking anti-nausea medicine this time around I know I have gained weight instead of loosing it.
I'll find out tomorrow. I had gained 7 or 8 as of 17 weeks. Last time I gained about 35 lbs but I also started out 15 lb heavier than this pregnancy. I am definitely trying to keep my weight within a certain range, but I'm not going to be too hard on myself.

I've gained 12 lbs and I'm 19 weeks. This pregnancy has been much different than the last 2 in terms of weight gain. During the last two pregnancies I didn't gain anything until about 25 weeks, then put on 35-40lbs in the last few months. It was really hard on my body, particularly my back and hips. I would much rather gain slowly. I just hope this doesn't mean I'm going to gain more this time.
I've gained 11 pounds since my transfer and am 20w2d. My OB said I'm right on track. If you lost all that weight so quickly last time it sounds like you know what you're doing.
I am down in between 1 - 2 lbs. I gained 50 lbs with DS and only lost 30 after, then gained it back when he entered treatment and after he passed. Stress eating is the worst. I did loose 15 lbs before gku. Moral of the story - I'm overweight. But I have been really proud of myself since I have been working out 4-5 times a week. As far as diet goes - ha! No such thing. I just eat anything I crave at the moment which is usually shit.

Hugs sweetie. And good for you for keeping at it with working out.
20 weeks and I think 12 pounds gained (5 in last two weeks it feels like). I am horrible about eating what I want in fear of have GD with this pregnancy and getting limited choices. Next appt I get to have my lovely orange drink!

I've gained two pounds so far, pretty much on par with last pregnancy. I'm 23 weeks now. I gained 12 total with my first and really hoping that happens again.
20 weeks and gained 9 -10 so far. I am working out 2-3 times a week this time, compared to not much at all last time, so I'm hoping not to gain 40 lbs again. Though I don't remember what I'd gained at this point last time.

I have gained at least 15 pounds. I am 21 weeks. I hoping some it was muscle since i wasn't working out much before getting pregnant, but i gained 35 pounds last time and i expect this time will be similar.
I am up 15 at 23 weeks. I gained between 25-30 last time, so I feel pretty good about it. I pretty much stopped gaining last time in my third tri, so if that happens again this time I am on track for about the same amount of total gain.
Well I'm embarrassed! I am 21 weeks and I've gained about 20 lbs (according to my records) but my OB says she shows 14 lbs (she didn't start measuring until 9 weeks). Oh well. I'm not allowed to work out and I eat what stays down. I'll just have to work extra hard after baby. Poop.
I am 22 weeks and have gained about 16 pounds. As the weather is starting to warm up, I'm planning on getting outside after work to walk a little and I started some prenatal yoga and barre. Hoping to slow down the gain progress a bit!

At my last appointment (beginning of Feb) I was up 8lb. That is less than I was up at this point, last pregnancy. But I ate clean last pregnancy and was active, and still gained 70+ pounds. I was a hot mess and was retaining water like mad. I lost 55+ pounds in the first two weeks after DD was born, but it still sucked.
At my doctors appointment last week I was up 2 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm only up so little because of MS and my emergency surgery in December, and for some reason wasn't gaining anything. I weigh myself every Wednesday and the past 3 or so weeks the number has started going up like it's supposed to!

I am 23+2 and had a check-up this morning. I've gained exactly 17 pounds. I started with an underweight BMI so my doctor says this is right on track, so I am very happy
