    I gained 60 lbs by week 32, I think it was all fluid b/c I lost 35 lbs within two weeks of delivery. I think my weight gain helped my babies, I'm glad I ate so much.

    They usually recommend 24 lbs by 24 weeks- which I believe I did. My doctor didn't tell me that though. He said I would have no problem gaining, and he was right! I ended up gaining a total of 50 lbs, but I carried until 37 weeks and 4 days! Just make sure you are eating lots of protein, and you should be good.

    I started at 134 and ended up at 175 ot so. I was induced at 38 weeks. I even worked out (lightly) up until 36 weeks. I know my doc wanted to see 20 lbs by 20 weeks but would be happy with 15. They never said anything to me either. I think as long as you are not having problems you should be ok. I felt huge by delivery day.

    Im pretty sure I gained about 30-40 lbs. The babies weighed 4.1 and 5.5 at birth.

    By 35 weeks I had gained about 45 lbs. Over the last two weeks I put on another 15lbs, most likely due to pre-e. When I went home two days after delivering my twins I was only up 12lbs over my pre-preggo weight (despite the fact I my legs looked like sausages with all the swelling).
