Gaining weight too fast???

Question

Have anyone has problems with gaining weight too fast, I started my pregnancy at 115 lbs I am 5.4 height and I am 22 weeks pregnant and I weight 135 lbs my doctor said I am gaining weight to fast, but I been eating extremely healthy no sugars allow, I stuffed myself with lots of veggies and fruits in regular basis I do veggies for dinner and i eat very small portions of them and I drink a gallon of water daily, I also walk 30mins a day and I do 15 mins of different type of safe exercises and I am still gaining weight I don't want to starve myself, and I don't want to hear the Dr telling me I am gaining weight anymore 😢😢😢

Answer

Your dr is an asshole. I'd consider finding a new one if you hear more of that. You were petite and needed some extra weight that's all. Do not let your tummy growl bc some idiot thinks you aren't gaining the perfect pound per week ratio.

Answer

You look amazing. All doctors are different. My 2nd I gained 45 #  total and my midwife not once brought up my weight. Consider another doctor.

Answer

We all gain differently.  I gained 35 lbs by 23wks I'm currently 30wks and have gained 45 lbs. This is my third pregnancy and I gained 58 in my previous 2 regardless of what I ate.

Answer

I gained 80 with my first and only 25 with my second... I'm pregnant with my third already gained 5 at just 7wks. At the same time... My first was 9lbs 13oz and second just 7lbs 11oz.

There are many variables as to why but if your healthy and baby is healthy, don't sweat it.

You look beautiful

Your doctor is a bitch, get a new one.

Answer

My doctor told me the same thing. I'm 30 weeks and have gained 30 pounds, she's been telling me to slow down for a while now and I've been healthy. As long as your blood pressure stays healthy and your other levels are healthy you're fine. The main reason they don't want you to gain too much is blood pressure. My thought is as long as everything else is coming back okay then don't worry!

Answer

I am usually pretty passive with my docs (midwives, actually) because I try to trust them, but it is completely unprofessional for you to be weight or body shamed. Especially with your stats! I know it's a big deal to change who you see, but it's a big deal to be told something that will cause you unnecessary anxiety AND is overall wrong.

Answer

You look so healthy and you should be gaining weight like you are. I've gained more weight in my pregnancy and my docs said I wasn't gaining enough. It's so weird, but between 20-30 is normal. I've read it in books and my doctor told me that.

Answer

Also you look perfect.

Answer

You're fine. I gained weight fast my first pregnancy and then my last trimester I didn't gain much at all and stayed within my healthy range, even though doctors were telling me the same thing. Your body knows what it's doing!
