Feeling Like A Hippo! Help?!!

Question

I'm currently 5'2 6 months pregnant and I weigh 150lbs. Does that seem too big? I feel like a legit hippo I've never hit the 150 mark. I don't want to gain too fast either. How many pounds is normal to gain within the first 6 months? I need honest answers only please and thank you!

Answer

You are going to "look" bigger because of your height and build. I'm only 4"9 so I show and look way bigger than most people just because there's no where for it to go. It's typical to gain about a pound a week from here on out. Like what was said above it's for a good reason to heck with weight focus on a healthy happy baby😊

Answer

I'm 5'3" 1/2 lol and I'm at 160. I started out at 140, 5 lbs over my ideal weight. Muscle weighs more than fat, so keep that in mind if you are still working out. I feel huge too.

Answer

I'm 5'1 and started at 118... I'm currently 23 weeks and am 138...heaviest I have ever been! Just remember, it's all for a good reason. That's what I keep telling myself.
Plus, I'm sure you look gorgeous!

Answer

I'm 5'2, 6 months and weigh 150 also!

Answer

I'm 5"1 and like 155 at 23 weeks, I weighed this much when I gave birth to my daughter and to think I have 17 more weeks to go :/, I almost feel like I need to cut back on my diet ! I started out at 140 with this pregnancy

Answer

I was 120 before and I'm 150 now at 21 weeks 😩.. I was 150 when I had my first little one so clearly I'm going to gain more this time. If you're normal weight my doc said total 25-30 lb. I feel huge as well, my arms and legs are bigger then ever before and of course my boobs blew up. It upsets me since I was able to control it the first time but this time I'm struggling. I did loose all the weight by beast feeding and pumping before so that's the plan again lol!

Answer

Omg I don't even want to put my weight on here.. I'm much heavier than any of you are and I've gained about 18-20 lbs and I'm 22w.

Answer

I'm 5' and so far I've gained 9lbs at 23 weeks. I now weigh 149 which is the heaviest I have ever weighed as well. Like previous comments, remember it's for a good reason, and it's only a short time of your life:)

Answer

I'm 5'2 and weigh 157 😑 25 weeks today I've gained 14lbs so far but don't look fat my bump is not that big as it was with my previous pregnancies so I feel good lol
