Is gaining 30 pounds by 28 weeks okay?

Question

I am almost 28 weeks and I already gained 30 pounds. I didn't gain anything in the first trimester since I was always nauseous, but as soon as I hit my second trimester, I ate more but not more than I normally would pre pregnancy.

Answer

I wouldn't worry about it. Every women is different. Gaining 35-40 pounds is normal. Don't listen to what anyone says, your doctor will let you know if there's a concern with your weight.

Answer

With my first I didn't gain much at all then around 32 weeks I had only gained maybe 10lbs, but my daughter had stopped growing so they made me drink nutrition shakes once or twice a day which have 500+ calories in them. She gained some weight, but I gained like 20 more pounds...so what in trying to say is to not worry about weight gain. You need to just do what's best for your little one. Don't focus too much on your weight. In struggling with that again right now bc I never lot my baby weight from my first and now I'm pregnant again, I'm the biggest I have ever been in my life and it's really making me self conscious.
