Do you think its ok?

Question

Ill be 26 weeks tomorrow and total have gained 18 pounds.. I'm thin built,  5'7 started at 125 before I was prego, and my Dr said I started at a healthy weight but I was worried have I been gaining too much too fast?  This is my first pregnancy. Any opinions are appreciated. ☺

Answer

Here's my two cents. Eat healthy and feel comfortable in your skin. I had a doctor that constantly bothered me about my weight and I switched. It's hard enough to deal with the psychological of getting bigger, none of your clothes fit, you feel icky, and so on. Just be happy, this should be an amazing time.

Answer

I think you look healthy. Every doctor has a different opinion on how much a woman should gain during pregnancy. I think you're right on track. Here's a pamphlet I got from WIC that shows how much you should gain and what you're gaining weight in! 💕

Answer

This was me at exactly 24 weeks.

Answer

I am 5'8" and weighed 135 when I got pregnant, this is baby #2 and I have gained about 25 lbs, I am 28 weeks. With my 1st I weighed 110 and gained 34 lbs.

Answer

I was 100 lbs and have gained 27 lbs as of 26 weeks (I'm now 27.3), you were a healthy weight, I wouldn't over worry about it. Remember water and baby are gaining more and more now since you are in the final half of the pregnancy

Answer

I'm 5'5" started at like 130 and now I weigh 161 😩😩 I'm freaking out but my nurse and Doctor said it's completely normal and a lot of water weight. Also this is my second child. With my first I started at 120 and weighed 155 at delivery. You sound right on track!
