Overweight in your opinion? 5'5 140lbs

Question

I'm currently 6 months post postpartum and 9 weeks pregnant again (unplanned but still loved♡). I'm 5'5 and weigh exactly 140 right now at 9 weeks. Would you consider this overweight for starting off this pregnancy? I was around 125/130 lbs when I became pregnant with our first. Guess I'm just feeling self conscious about my body and was wanting honest opinions.

Answer

I'm 5'2, 230lbs. It's okay to be overweight and pregnant (which you aren't) but the key is to eat healthy and stay active. The actual numbers are secondary.

Answer

No!!! Everyone’s bodies are different. This is totally normal!! I’m 5,2 and 130 when I’m not pregnant, but still super tiny. Just be healthy and don’t focus so much on the numbers.

Answer

No! I’m the same height and weight :) If you go online and enter your info into a BMI calculator you’ll see you’re within normal range. Don’t stress it!

Answer

No not at all!! I am about your height and 260 and 9+6 with my 1st pregnancy. In 2017 I weighed 385lbs. Though still currently over-weight, I am so much healthier and my OBGYN sees no reason I should not have a perfectly healthy pregnancy. 140 sounds like a perfectly normal postpartum weight to me! As long as you are eating well, moving around when you can, taking your vitamin and staying hydrated you should be in great shape!
