How much weight should I have gained by 17 weeks?

Question

I’ve gained 8 pounds and I’m wondering if this is too much? I started at 150 and I’m 5’8. I don’t even have a bump yet so I am worried it might be 8 pounds of fat?

Answer

This is the least of your worries. Try not to focus on weight gain! In almost all pregnancies it isn’t an issue at all. Unfortunately it’s been made to seem like a big deal but it really isn’t!

Answer

Nope that’s perfect!

Answer

It depends on where you start and your providers recommendation but your numbers seem spot on to me.

Answer

Everyone is different 🤷🏻‍♀️ I only starting gaining weight around 20 weeks with my last pregnancy

Answer

I lost 10lbs by 16 weeks and gained my first lb at 18 weeks. But everyone is different. They say gain less than 5 lbs in the first trimester. After that it depends on you. But you gain a lot your 3rd trimester usually

Answer

I started at 159 and have gained 12 pounds and a. 17.5 weeks 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm not thrilled lol but also trying to eat healthier and be more active now that I have a bit more energy this trimester. I naturally gain weight very easily though, and I mean like just looking at food causes me to add a few 😅
