Weight gain? Too much?

Question

I'm worried I'm putting too much weight on compared to other women, I have searched the posts on here to see how much weight everyone has put on during their pregnancy. When I was 7 weeks at my booking in appointment I weighed 58.kg (127 lb) and I weighted myself today at 21+4 and I weigh 68kg (149 lb). I am tall, around 5.10, and I am very happy with how my body looks, however just concerned that I've put 22lb on in 21 weeks! 
Please tell me this isn't something to worry about!

Answer

Totally normal and you look great!! You'll inevitably get plenty of responses on here from people bragging (ex: can't help you, I've only gained 7 pounds!) etc but rest assured you're totally fine!! I'm at 24 pounds at 25 weeks and doc says I'm doing great!

Answer

I've put on about 22 lbs in 24 weeks...I'm not crazy about how fast it seems to pile on recently, but my doctors not worried. I'm eating healthy and exercising, so I almost don't want to look anymore. I try to remember that the biggest thing to concern myself with us my healthy baby. Also, it will come off easier if you gained it in a healthy way than if you gained it eating donuts and cookies! So I just keep that in mind.

Answer

I hate the posts where people ask about weight gain because it's different for everyone and can make you feel insecure if you're "gaining too much" 🙄 if your doc isn't concerned don't even worry. Eating healthy (most of the time) and staying active? You're good mama!

Answer

Don't worry about it - everyone's body is different and everyone gains differently. I'm 23w3d and have put on about 20lbs. Dr's not worried. My mom put on 50lbs with me and my sister each and list it all and then some within 4 months of each birth. She was healthy and so we're both of us.

I honestly stopped looking at the scale..I'm a nutritionist & health coach..I know that what I'm feeding my son is good for him & at my last check up the doctor asked me how I'm so healthy..I know I've put on tons of weight because I see it but I'm not worried because I know it will go away after little man gets here & gets to work out with me..focus on a good clean healthy diet & moderate exercise

Answer

Don't look at those posts about how much weight people have gained because I notice that the ones that are eager to reply are the ones that have barely gained anything!!! I've gained 25 pounds at 22 weeks and look great! Haven't gained anything in the past two months though.  Some people gain most of their weight during the beginning and then it tapers off.  Screw all those people bragging about their 5 pound at 20 weeks weight gain!  Lol.  You look great!

Answer

I put on about the same. Music toes says he's not all that worried.

Answer

Don't worry! I'm 22 weeks and have gained 25 - my doctor isn't worried whatsoever and said the baby needs it!

Answer

I think you look great

Answer

I've gained a total of 10 pounds this pregnancy, and my midwife is totally fine with it. I'm 24+4 by the way.

I'm heavier to begin with, so I've been really careful with not gaining too much - in my first trimester I was very very sick - in and out of the hospital multiple times, ended up losing 8 pounds. I've since gained that back and about 2 or 3 more.

I'm really only up about 4 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight, but every body is different and your doctor will recommend a range to stay in based on your weight before you got pregnant.

I was telling my husband the other night that the majority of my weight gain is in my boobs alone - they feel like they're 10 pounds each.

The photo above is me the day I found out, at 10 weeks, and at 17 weeks. Excuse the farmers tan, I love me a cardigan even during the summertime.

My most recent belly photo is at 24+1 (excuse the mess, we are in the middle of moving and I just can't be bothered to clean yet haha)
