Weight gain - what has your experience been?

Question

Hi everyone! So I had my monthly check up yesterday at 17 weeks pregnant and I've already gained 17 pounds! My midwife is not really worried but I am a bit! I definetely have been eating well (usaully am a casual calorie tracker) but haven't had any crazy eating sessions or intense cravings for sweets or junk food.

How has your experience been with weight gain? Does it often rapidly pick up towards the second half of pregnancy or stay consistent? Love to hear about your status or past experience. Much love to all the mamas and mamas to be out there 😘

Answer

Just came from the doctor for my 20 week check up and I have gained 19 lbs. My doctor didn't even say a word, but I was pretty shocked! Especially when I've been eating pretty healthy!

Answer

Love the feedback, thanks! We are all so different :)

Answer

If you were smaller to begin with your body might be putting on weight more than someone who started off heavier. If you're eating healthy then don't worry about the weight gain, your body is preparing itself for baby!

Answer

18 weeks, lost a few pounds in the first trimester thanks to morning sickness... Gained back to my starting weight but haven't actually gained weight yet.

I'm technically overweight to begin with, so I have less to gain overall. My doc hasn't said anything about it yet, so I'm trying not to worry.

Answer

I'm 16 weeks and only gained half a pound😔
