I`m just hitting 37 weeks and I`ve gained a whopping 50 pounds. This is my third pregnancy and I`ve gained between 50 and 60 pounds each time. Alot of it is water weight and I end up losing it all after about 6 months. I have the opinion that we gain what we gain...unless you`re pigging out ALL the time. I think our bodies just do what they are designed to do. Some women gain and others don`t. But most of us have healthy babies and that`s what`s important.

I had gained 35 by 34 weeks and then I had him at 34 weeks so I would have been huge!

i am also 34 weeks. I have gained 33-35 lbs depending when i weigh. YOu`ll probably start gaining alot more towards the end too. I have really tried hard to limit gaining my weight this time, but I eat when I am hungry. I feel like it is cues that baby and my body needs it. My Dr. said my weight is fine and normal especially since I am small-medium framed. I gained 40lbs last pregnancy total--went 39wks and 6days. Lost all the weight plus a few pounds before my son was a year. I had a nice size baby 8 lbs 14 oz`s. he was healthy. Umm, this time I am 5 lbs ahead of schedule then I was with my first. It seems I ate more with my first, tried harder this time not to eat as much and eat healthier, but still weigh more with this one. But some people are just going to gain more than others. I so wouldn`t worry about the weight. I worry more about trying to have the baby- if they are too big for my figure to deliver.

I went to 39 weeks with baby boy #1 and gained a total of 38 pounds. I went to 39 weeks with baby boy #2 and gained 43 pounds. I ate healthy with both pregnancies.

Don`t worry...it`s all for baby. You`re doing the right thing as long as you are eating properly. I gained 55 lbs last time and the weight was gone and I was back to slim and svelete by 5-8 months p.p. Alot of gals lose 15-20 lbs within the first week p.p....I didn`t, mind you!

I gained 20 lbs by 40 weeks, the last few weeks i did gain the most of it. Don`t worry, i think at the end the baby is growing much more. Just continue what you are doing and have a healthy baby. Good luck!

i`m 31 weeks and at 38 lbs gained. i eat healthy and am very active. my dr. isnt worried and neither am i. well,it might be a little extra effort to lose it after the baby is born, but it seems like she is already big and healthy, good luck:)

I`m right there with you. And I am not worried one bit. Continue to eat healthy and have a healthy baby.

I was the same way, a pound a week until the end :) At my last dr`s appt I had gained about 42lbs. My dr wasn`t worried about my weight gain, I`d say as long as yours isn`t as well, enjoy! It`s not a big deal, most of it comes off in the first month PP anyway. I`m almost 5months PP and if I had been working just a touch harder all the weight would be gone...but I still have about 8lbs left.

I`m 29 weeks and gained 4 lbs, not for lack of trying though! I think all the heat and my 2 year old daughter are causing me to sweat out all the calories I eat.
