Overweight BMI and pregnancy weight gain

M

Okay. So I am staring my 2nd pregnancy 20 lbs heavier then my first.

I know the general recommendation for those starting pregnancy whole overweight is 15-25 lbs

I hope to stick closer to 15 pounds.

What have your doctors told you? My midwife said 25 lbs....but that seems to against most research.

My current BMI is 28.4 (using my weight at yesterday's doctors appointment).
