How much weight did your doctor say you could gain and what is your starting weight?

Question

My doctor said no more than 10-15 pounds 😕 already nervous about it. 
I do workout 4-5 days a week and try to eat as healthy as possible but during the first trimester it’s hard to eat anything but carbs like toast crackers and fries without getting sick.

Answer

I started the pregnancy at 268, I'm 21 weeks and currently weigh 263. I asked my doctor how much is ok to gain and he said he's more worried about the rate of weight gain. If it's more than 2 pounds a week, he'll get concerned. Otherwise, he's not worried.

Answer

My pre-pregnancy weight was 237, I'm 15 weeks and at 244. I also lost 90lbs pre-pregnancy, so my doctor has been so great when talking about my weight. She tells me to be mindful, but not hard on myself. I also workout 5-6 days a week and walk 12-15 miles a week, so she knows I'm staying active.

Answer

Starting weight was 348, and doc said try not to gain any. Well, I gained five then lost two so he's okay with that.

Answer

My starting weight was 255. I'm at 235 now. My doc didn't give me a max weight goal.

Answer

My start weight was 233lbs. I’m 19 weeks and have weigh 228lbs. My doctor said ideal weight gain was 0-10lbs. I was super nervous that I might have gained a ton since my last appointment at 15 weeks, but my weight hasn’t changed at all since then (I had an appointment today). Since I’m down 5lbs from start weight, I like to think I’m allowed to gain up to 15lbs. Not sure if that’s how the doctor sees it though. Lol. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, your body knows what to do! :)

Answer

I started at 145 ended at 220 so a total 75 pounds up. Doc never said a thing. 
I'm not at 173 ttc #2 but no luck yet. I've had what I think is implantation bleeding but I'm not sure as I never had it with my first

Answer

I was 276 and was told to shoot for 10-15. I'm 27 weeks and still 270. I'm also vegan so I eat carbs like they are going out of style. I probably eat an entire loaf of sourdough bread a week because it's the only thing I ever want for lunch. I wouldn't fret. If you're heavier, the hcg really helps control weight. I don't work out at all but I do work on my feet so that probably helps.

Answer

My Dr didn’t say how much I needed or didn’t need to gain. I’ll be 32 weeks tomorrow and have only gained 5 lbs. my starring weight was 261.

Answer

My Dr. said 15 pounds.  I'm 22 weeks and gained 10 pounds. the Dr. never brings up my weight though.

Answer

I started at 264 at the first appt. and for my appointment today, she said I've gained 13 pounds resulting in 277. I'm 23 weeks pregnant. She said that is a good weight and I have nothing to worry about.
