How many pounds is reasonable to gain a month during pregnancy?

Question

Asking because I’m basically a month away from giving birth and I just now got back my appetite. I lost 10 pounds from being so sick and just now I’m almost 2 pounds close to my pre-pregnancy weight. I feel like now that I’m not sick anymore I’m going to gain a lot of weight because I’m hungry all the time 😭😭😭

Answer

It's more of an exponential weight gain versus a steady gain. A lot of folks gain nothing, or even lose, at the beginning, then gain as much as a pound or more per week at the end. It also depends if you were underweight, a healthy weight, or overweight when you conceived.

Answer

I have only gained 1 pound so far at 19 weeks. Lost six at the beginning. A mom that I know she gained a total of 85 pounds with her baby and is now 10 pounds less than her prepregnacy weight. She’s goals

Answer

I gained 8 lbs in the first trimester and then I gained 10 lbs in one month during 14-18 weeks. Then it’s been about a pound a week since. I’m pushing about 25lbs gained so far. I have no idea where the weight is going though I’m hardly showing for 29w 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 probably my boobs.

Answer

I think for most people it’s a slow gain in the beginning (I actually lost at first) and then at the end it’s like a pound a week. Everyone’s different though

Answer

Everyone is different. My doctor told me I am okay to gain 35lbs because I was underweight to begin with. I'm 19.5 weeks and have already gained 19lbs.

Answer

Everyone is different. Im pretty skinny and I gained 45lbs during my first pregnancy, came back to my pre pregnancy weight within two months. I know women who gained nothing or even lost weight. As long as babys healthy its all good and natural ☺
