have I gained too much weight so far?

Question

I started at 178 lbs, lost 8 lbs and got down to 170 in my first trimester. Gained 4 pounds between months 4-5 and weighed 174. But I just got weighed again after 30 days and gained 10 pounds!!! Is this normal? I'm 184 now and scared I'm gaining too much weight for baby :( I'm afraid I'll have GD. Anyone else experience this?

Answer

I am a similar weight to you and was during my first pregnancy which was perfectly healthy without GD. Weight isn't the only risk factor for GD. Diet is very important for a healthy pregnancy! Do all you can to take care of yourself and baby and I'm sure all will go smoothly!

Answer

A 10 lb jump is def a lot in one month if it happens every single month, BUT it's the holiday month unfortunately and you're only technically up 6 lbs from pre preg weight! I'd try not to worry too much if your doc isn't and just pay attention to your diet a little next month and see what happens :) I'm sure baby had a growth spurt and that + holidays prob caused the jump. You're doing great!!

How far along are you ? I started at 175 now I'm 217 😳😳 trying not to think about it but my doctor said it's fine. I knock on wood haven't had any problems from it. I'm 37 weeks now. Praying breastfeeding helps shed some of these pounds because 😭 I'm only 5'2 feels like my body is breaking.

Answer

I went to the dr today after 4 weeks I gained 7 pounds 
Prior to that I had lost 1
Then gained 5 
Now plus 7 
My dr and I both talked about it and laughed and blamed the holidays since she also gained lots of weight and isn't even pregnant. I wouldn't worry about it. It won't always be like that. 20 weeks and up 12 pounds.

Answer

Some of the weight you really can't control.
You could try to change your eating habits.
