At what point did you gain the most weight?

    I'm just shy of 22 weeks and have gained 21 pounds...which I know is right on and is good and I am happy about it.

    I was wondering, will my weight gain increase dramatically (beyond 1 pound per week) as my pregnancy progresses?

    Did you find yourself packing on weight as the weeks wore on?

    I have no problem gaining 40-50 pounds this pregnancy, but I do worry about gaining much more than that (although I would never diet while pregnant!)...

    Thanks in advance!

    From 20 weeks on I was putting on about 2 pounds a week. I was trying hard to put the weight on.

    I gained a total of about 35 pounds during my pregnancy. The majority of it for me came towards the beginning of the 3rd trimester until I delivered at 37.5 weeks.

    I did great until a 2-3 weeks ago then I gained more than just a pound at a time. I am 38 weeks and to my knowledge I've gained 30 lbs. . .

    I was heavy to start with so didn't need to gain as much. I only gained about 25 lbs in the first 36 weeks. Then the last week and a half I put on another 20+ that I'm sure was almost all water. I swelled up like a huge water balloon and it was NOT pretty!
