24 weeks 4 days and have gained 22 lbs! 🤰🏻 Is that bad?! I've noticed gain weight on my cheeks, butt, breast and a little on my arms but is this normal? I eat regular but now I feel like I need to watch myself a little more 😔 Thoughts?

Question

Answer

I had the same concern when I realized I gained 20 pounds at 24 weeks also. I gained 10 within 4 weeks which made me concerned. My doctor said that babies and your body go through growth spurts and it can cause a sudden weight gain. My doctor measured my belly and said the size of it is measuring on a little ahead, but baby is measuring on target. As long as baby and momma are healthy, I think it's fine. Just remember we are growing a life inside of us! 💖💙 Hope this helps ease some concern. I was worried also. I still try to workout about 3 times a week.

Answer

I'm 26wks tomorrow and gained 25lbs. I have gained 40lbs with each of my pregnancies (this is my fifth). Totally normal!

Answer

I was at about 22 pounds 24 weeks in. I asked my doctor about it because other women kept telling me they only gained about 25 pounds overall, and she wasn't too concerned about it. She said if I really wanted to stay in the recommended range to not go beyond a pound a week from there on out. I'm close to 27 weeks and am not doing a great job at it 😂 but my doctor isn't worried, she just wants to avoid abnormal rapid weight gain in a short period of time.

Answer

Everyone's body is different and You gain weight differently. Some people gain a ton and some gain little. It also depends on your lifestyle, for example if you were super fit and worked out every day and now you're not working out you probably would gain more weight.  I would talk to your doctor and if they don't seemed to concerned then you're probably fine. The only thing you should worry about is your baby and your health. Try not to worry about pounds. You look awesome and it's all for your little one growing in there! I was really worried about weight gain in my pregnancy too because I was considered overweight before I got pregnant but my doctor said everything is fine. Just make sure your active and not eating a ton of bad foods! You're doing great!!!

Answer

I am 24 weeks and 6 days and gained 20 weeks. I think this is probably average. The weight you say you feel on your cheeks etc is water weight and all natural. Nothing to worry about my Midwife says.

Answer

I am the same way

Answer

I didn't gain much until this last month when I felt like she grew and I popped. I'm 28w now and have gained about 20lbs so far. First 2 tri I wasn't gaining, infsct I lost some but coming into 3rd is when most of the growth and gain happens. I say so long as baby is moving and doctor is content you needn't worry and just enjoy the body changes.
