Is this normal? 15lbs in 17 weeks!

Question

I've gained 15lbs in 17 weeks of being pregnant. I gained 10lbs the first trimester. I am afraid I'm aging too much weight too fast!

Answer

It will probably slow down at some point. I gained 9 lbs in my first 9 weeks because I was STARVING all the time. I was eating well, just more. I gained a little but more after that too. I'm 22w now and it has slowed down, thank goodness.

Answer

With my first daughter I gained sooo much. I was 9st before pregnancy at the end I was 11st 6lbs!! It still hasn't come of fully 4 years later.

Answer

My mom gained a total 60 pounds while pregnant with me! I don't think 15 pounds is that bad at all for being almost halfway there. Is this your first child? because I've also heard you gain the most weight with your first.

Answer

I think it depends on how/why you gained the weight. I also put on about ten lbs in first trimester but I had severe nausea that caused me to stop working out and was only able to eat carbs. So, to survive, I ate carbs and rested. And now I'm feeling a little better and able to exercise and eat more fruits and vegetables. If the weight gain is due to unhealthy eating like McDonald's every day, I'd try hard to adjust your diet, but sometimes I think the body is just adjusting to crazy changes in the way it needs to.

Answer

I've gained the same amount. My doctor hasn't said anything negative about it, but I was also a bit underweight to begin with. I think that as long as you're eating as healthy as you can, then you're probably just fine.
