How much weight is to much?

Question

Hello

I have a question for fellow women going through their pregnancies or for those moms who have already gone through it. I am 24 years old 5 foot 6 inches. My starting weight was 145 and now I am almost 21 weeks and I'm weighing in at a whopping 164 pounds. According to apps and articles this is 5 pounds overweight. I have a very active job and I eat pretty healthy, what else should I be doing? How do/did you ladies manage your weight? I do not want to put on to much weight in pregancy.

Answer

Anything over 50 I'd say slow down lol

Answer

I gained 60lbs with my first and had no trouble loosing it after plus a little more. I'd try not to worry about it. There are some doctors that don't even monitor or say anything about weight gain or loss

Answer

You sound healthy, I have put that much ok and am about 4 wks behind you, as long as your staying active and Eating decent I wouldn't worry

Answer

Thanks for the comments ladies! I'm bad for comparing myself to all the tiny women out there at around 20 weeks. I just don't want to get to big, by I know every pregnancy is different :)

Answer

If your normal weight pre pregnancy they say you should gain 25-35, less if overweight and more if underweight

Answer

I gain weight very easy and I gained 57lbs with my first. My daughter is 15 months now and I lost 50 lbs of my pregnancy weight. I also had a active job at the time. Now I'm 6 weeks pregnant and just going to try to eat healthy and workout during this pregnancy. Would have liked to lose all the pregnancy weight but I'll just try and be careful this time. But don't be too concern with ur weight. U look great btw!!!

Answer

If it helps, I am 5'4" and started at 145 pounds. My doctor told me I should plan on gaining 20 to 25 pounds throughout my pregnancy.

Answer

I'm the same so you, only I'm on my third pregnancy. I'm 17 weeks and have gained 10 lbs. I think some women just gain more than others. I think you're at a fine weight :-) I'm working on the same weight gain :-)

Answer

I think you look great! I gained much more than recommended with my kids, and always lost it within the first few months after (with the help of breast feeding)... I had about the same starting weight as you each time as well...

Answer

FYI this was my 5 week photo @ 140-145 pounds. As you can see I am A LOT bigger ??
