Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
I'm not sure what is "normal". I think it's based on if you were underweight, overweight or whatnot before getting PG.
I am 11 weeks and I have gained 7 so far.

Yeah I agree...I was told based on my starting weight that 25-35lbs is normal.

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
I am currently 32 weeks with twins and have gained a total of 35lbs.
Seriously, don't concentrate on the weight, I've had girlfriends that gained over 50 lbs w/one and lost it all.
You just want a healthy baby!

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
That's about normal.
They say 2-4 lbs in the first 12 weeks and then 2 pounds every week after that.

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
As long as your doctor isn't concerned, I don't know if there is a normal.
With DD, I gained 48lbs in total. This time, at 30 weeks I am up only 19lbs, so normal can be different from pregnancy to pregnancy!

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
I only gained 7 so far at 24 weeks, my dr hasn't said anything. I was a bit overweight to begin with so I was told I shouldn't gain more than 25lbs total.

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
So far I've lost one pound at 11 weeks. I'm hoping to gain very little b/c I have enough "extra poundage" to begin with

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
Normal is considered 3-5 lbs for the first trimester then 1 lb per week after that....
But I think it really depends on your size before hand as well as morning sickness....I have always been heavy and had bad morning sickness so I have only gained a pound at 27 weeks.... but everyone is different....

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
Everyone is different... I'm 24 weeks and have gained 7lbs total (my Dr's are satisfied).
I do know that, beginning at 20 weeks, it's normal to gain about a pound a week.

Re: what is the normal pace for weight gain?
you're totally fine Michelle! My doctor gave me a target of gaining between 20-25 pounds- but I'm a little overweight- so you probably will be able to safely gain more than that
I am 13 weeks and up 2 pounds so far
