Too much weight gain in second trimester?

Question

I just came back from my doctor, and forst it was an issue that i hadnt gained any weight uo until about two months ago, then i gained some weight and within the last month i gained 5 pounds. For being only 26 weeks, she said that is wayyyyy too much to be gaining in a month. Should i be concerned? How do i control my weight if i already eat so little due to sickness?

Answer

No that's not too much weight she is rude

Answer

5 pounds definitely is not wayyy too much in a month. Ideal starting the 2nd trimester is 0.5-1 pound a week. That's not far off at all, but considering you were slow to start gaining, I'd say it's excellent! I gained like 3 pounds just this past week, but I eat well and exercise and feel healthy. Nothing else I can do. Just trying to manage it the best I can till the end.

Answer

Tell her to shove it ;) Don't be concerned. Listen to your body and try to exercise when you can. Beyond that, let nature take it's course and just give yourself permission to gain weight. Some doctors are more paranoid about it than others, but don't let it get to you. If her comments bug you, perhaps you can switch OBs.

Answer

I am 21 weeks and I have gained 25 lbs so far. My doctor is not concerned at all. You are expected to gain about a pound a week in your 2nd trimester

Answer

With my first pregnancy, I gained a bunch of weight two visits in a row and my doctor said something to me and I cried and was upset for days. After a few days, I said f it and stayed eating like crap for a week and gained no weight. Do I suggest eating like crap? Not at all. I generally eat salads, smoothies, lean meats and all I drink is water despite my previous doctor not believing me. They don't factor in you being constipated or bloated or if you just had a rough week. The back to back weight gain I had was me on vacation and then me doing the glucose test and all I could do wad keep drinking water to keep from puking from it. I carried a lot of water weight and fluid in my feet. Try not to let it get to you although I know it is hard. I weighed 15 pounds less getting preggo this go around than when I started last go around. You will lose the weight. Don't let it stress you out, just be mindful and know that everyone is different.

Answer

Eat healthier and exercise maybe? I think it's weird she said that if you've only gained 5 lbs so far lol
