[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really just to make others in my situation feel better :) 20 weeks 1 day and I've gained 15 pounds. 2nd baby. I get super nauseous to the point of needing meds the whole pregnancy and the only thing that calms it (even with the meds) is eating. I excercise about 3-4 times a week and try to eat as healthy as possible but it is what it is. I gained a little over 40 with my first (most of it came off fairly quickly but the last 8 took FOREVER) and REALLY want to keep it 30 or under this time, but apparently that may not happen. Oh well. I wish I was one of those eating all the time who has only gained 5 pounds, but not so! For what it's worth I'm tall so it hides well and I can still fit into a lot of my regular clothes.....[/quote]

This makes me feel a lot better, I've been so discouraged as I hear how many people have only gained 5 or 10 pounds at this point.  I am only 5 feet tall (first pregnancy) and have craved mostly fruits and vegetables--not a lot of breads, or ice cream, or many of the other things I hear about, yet I have still gained about 15 pounds.  With my height there is no hiding it either, so I look very obviously pregnant at this point.  It's good to know though that every body is different and I am not entirely abnormal for having gained more than ten.  My doctors didn't even mention it, so there doesn't seem to be a concern--it's just not fun gaining more than you hoped you would mid-way through.  :? [/quote]
