Weight gain?

Question

Curious as to "normal" or average weight gain. I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow and have gained about 3.5 lbs. I was honestly expecting it to be more but I wasn't sure if that was average or healthy or whatever??

Answer

Everyone is different and will gain at a different rate, but this is the recommended average:

If your pre-pregnancy weight was in the healthy range for your height (a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9), you should gain between 25 and 35 pounds, gaining 1 to 5 pounds in the first trimester and about 1 pound per week for the rest of your pregnancy for the optimal growth of your baby.

Answer

Im also just at 4-5lbs gain at 15 weeks. My appetite is just starting to return to normal so hopefully I can start gaining a bit more. I was at a normal BMI before. I guess it's true that they say your metabolism is working double!!!!
