How much weight did BTDT moms gain in 3rd tri?

So I know everyone is different, but my weight gain started off very slow and low and is now creeping on (26 weeks/16 pounds but like 6 of the pounds happened in past 4 or 5 weeks!). How much more can I expect to gain, in your opinion? I was thinking another 10....that would be great. Anyone care to share? :) I haven't changed my eating and I still am very active, which makes me think it's a combo of water and baby. Cant' wait for my growth sono...oh and I will be 27 weeks this thurs!

I gained nothing in my 3rd trimester.

However, my DD started walking at that time so I was constantly chasing her all over the place which is probably why I didn't gain anything.

However, I did gain 4lbs my last week of pregnancy, which was most likely water retention.

With my 1st pregnancy I gained very little weight my 3rd tri (I only gained 13lbs my first pregnancy), maybe 3lbs I gained? I gained most of my weight in the 1st tri with my 1st pregnancy and in the 2nd tri with my 2nd.

Re: How much weight did BTDT moms gain in 3rd tri?

I gained the most in my last trimester...I gained 12 pounds between month 7 and 8... I didn't gain a whole lot in the first 2 trimesters, so I made up for it towards the end.

I gained about 20lbs in my 3rd trimester. I only gained 30 for the entire pregnancy but it was mostly in the 3rd trimester.

Re: How much weight did BTDT moms gain in 3rd tri?

I gained barely nothing in my first and last trimester's last time. I only gained 18 pounds.

This time, I gained nothing my first trimester, and 5 so far my second. This is exactly the same so far as my first with regard to weight gain.

Re: How much weight did BTDT moms gain in 3rd tri?

I don't remember exactly but not alot. I gained the most in my 2nd, like practically all of it. I gained almost 40 lbs total...way more than I wanted to but whatever. I'm on track for the same this time around too.

I hope my weight gain slows down in the 3rd trimester. I gained 3- in first trimester, and like 20lbs in the 2nd trimester. So i am up 24lbs and 28 weeks. I am hoping I do not gain excessively in the 3rd trimester too.

Re: How much weight did BTDT moms gain in 3rd tri?

I am 36 weeks and up 30 pounds. I have been consistently gaining throughout my entire pregnancy- about 1 pound per week. it hasn't slowed down for me in the 3rd tri but i have been eating whatever i want (cakes and cookies). For the most part i eat healthy and walk 2-3 miles 5 times a week. I dont think i am one of those people whose weight will taper off at the end though- i like to eat and i am enjoying it for the last 4 weeks of pregnancy! After is here its diet time and i wont be able to eat anything!

Re: How much weight did BTDT moms gain in 3rd tri?

I'm about 35 weeks and gained 13 pounds altogether so far.

Re: How much weight did BTDT moms gain in 3rd tri?

I probably gained 20-25 lbs in the 3rd trimester, but I had severe swelling starting at 29 weeks. A lot of the weight I gained in the 3rd trimester was water weight. I lost 31 lbs by 1 week PP.

SIL is very tiny and super active. She gained less than 25 lbs during her pregnancy.
