Crazy weight gain- started out overweight
Interested to hear from some mamas who started out pregnancy in the 'overweight category. Prior to pregnancy my BMI was 29 (5'2"and160lbs) and I am currently 22 weeks and have gained about 22lbs so far. The last couple weeks I have also been going up by about 2lbs/week! I know a lot of growth takes place in second and third trimester, but I gained a lot in the first trimester also - about 10lbs when apparently the max is usually what, 5? Lol.
My family doctor hinted a couple weeks ago that I gained more than I should have by that point, but didn't seem to care. I am currently waiting for my first appointment with the OB to be scheduled, but I am concerned with my 'progress' lol as if I need to make some changes I would like to start sooner rather than later!
I am fully aware that I will obviously be gaining weight which is fine, but if everywhere indicates to not gain more than 0.5lbs/week in second trimester when you were overweight starting out, I'm just scared to skyrocket and have gained like 50lbs in the end. I don't eat poorly, and I log everything i eat to keep track. Definitely just concerned about mine and my baby's health!
Any one else have this problem?
