28 weeks weight gain
I am 28 weeks and have gained just about 15 pounds. I started out 133lbs at 5'2, which is considered a normal BMI (maybe on the higher end of normal, but I'm pretty muscular and also 30 years old so my metabolism isn't exactly at its peak, but still, not clinically overweight). Anyway I think 15 lbs is the low end of where weight gain should be at this point, and for the past 2 weeks I haven't really gained at all. I am exercising a lot, like walking almost 5 miles a day and going to prenatal yoga once a week . My appetite has also been in the dumps throughout my pregnancy, and I am struggling to eat the same amount I used to eat before I was pregnant, so no dramatic calorie increase. My goal is to gain at least 25 lbs, meaning I have 12 weeks to gain another ten. I know 15 lbs isn't terrible, it's technically on track, I am just worried I will stop gaining if I don't start eating more.
