Feeling pretty bad about my weight gain so far. I’m 23 weeks and 4 days and I’ve gained 16lbs!! Is this normal or too much?? The hunger is non stop with this baby!

Question

Answer

I gained a total of roughly 60lbs by the end of my pregnancy and my OBGYN never said anything to me about it. I wouldn’t worry about weight gain unless your OB is worried!

Answer

As long as you’re eating healthy, I wouldn’t worry about it (unless the doctor says something). I’ve been starving too the past two weeks and have gained some weight too. I keep healthy snacks around the house, eat whole grains, balanced meals, and if I need more, I need more. It is what it is. Also try to stay active as much as you can - going for walks everyday, and I aim to workout at least 3 days a week (again as long as it’s okayed by your doctor). If you keep those habits now it’ll be easier for losing that weight after pregnancy as the healthy tendencies are already there

Answer
