this is my 3rd baby, i'm 18 weeks along and will have sono tommorow. I gained 15 lbs already. I'm small to begin with. Started at 100 lbs, 5'1", muscular. To boot, this baby is really high up so i'm short of breath alot. What has everyone else gained for those that are on their 2nd third fourth etc. I looked at a chart on the march of dimes site and it says I should have gained only 8 lbs. I feel like a cow......MOOO!

Wait til you start b___stfeeding every couple of hours then you'll really feel like a cow lol, I know I always do. I am 22wks tomorrow & this is my 3rd too & I have surprisingly gained less with this one then I did with the other 2. I also am only pet_te but I kinda thought I would have gained more. So far I have only gained 3kg (approx 6.6lb) but my belly is measuring correct & bubs is big & healthy. I did have pretty bad morning sickness in the beginning & did loose a bit of weight so maybe that's why. I honestly wouldn't worry unless your doctor is concerned or you seem to be gaining weight (swelling) in the face hands, feet/legs etc which could be an indicator of other problems such as pre-eclampsia. Goodluck at the ultrasound, it's SO exciting getting to see bubs, will you be finding out the s_x?

I'm 26 weeks and have gained 15 lbs already! This is my second and I only gained 18 total with my last pregnancy. I really don't want to go over 20 or 25 lbs max. I am normally about 115-120 lbs, so I really feel like a cow. The b___stfeeding really makes you lose it quickly so I wouldn't worry. Good luck at your scan!

im 24 wks with my 4th pregnancyand not gaining no where near as much weight as i did with my other 3 with my 1st pregnancy i looked like i was 6months and i was only 13weeks i was 17 and weighed 53 kilos but after having 3 babys i have gain 25 kilos i exercise and watch what i eat and the most i can lose is 5 kilos .at 14 wks with this pregnancy i had lost 2 kilos but i have not weighed my self since then but i guess each and every pregnancy is never the same we all will experience something new each time round so its really self inflicted but worth it in the . cheers to all and a healthy pregnancy

I'm 21 weeks, and I've gained about 13 pounds already! Try not to worry - everyone is VERY different, as you can see from this thread. Hang in there...the most important thing is a healthy baby, not the weight gain :)

I'm 23 weeks with baby #2 and have gained 16lbs. With my first I had already gained almost 30lbs. So i think i'm doing much better this time. I'm tall and still run 2 miles a day. I think i'm doing good???
