Have I gained too much?

Question

I'm 29w4d, this is my first pregnancy and I've gained 20 pounds so far. 
My obgyn said today that I've gained too much weight. She said that they want women to only gain 20-25lbs during pregnancy. 
Have I really gained too much? How much have you all gained during pregnancy?

Answer

Underweight (BMI less than 18.5): 28 to 40 pounds 
Normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.9): 25 to 35 pounds 
Overweight (BMI 25 to 29.9): 15 to 25 pounds 
Obese (BMI 30 or more): 11 to 20 pounds

Answer

I gained 60 pounds my first pregnancy, lost all but 10 lbs. I've gained 10-11lbs so far and I'm 18w4d. My MW told me I'm slightly above weight gain for this pregnancy but wasn't really concerned since I ate during the car ride to my appointment lol

Answer

I'm 33 weeks and gained 27 pounds so far.

Answer

It just depends on your starting weight. The heavier you are the less they usually want you to gain and vise versa. I would just talk to your doctor about it.

Answer

I'm 19 weeks and have gained 8 as of today and the doctor said I'm right on track so idk it seems totally fine to me! But ask your doctor because it may depend on your height and all that.

Answer

I guess it depends per person, if you're small framed or not...
In my country they say women should gain around 20 pounds, but in general women tend to be quite small...

Answer

I gain about 30-40 lbs

Answer

It definitely goes off of your starting BMI. There is a calculator somewhere for it. I think you're fine. But I'd check with your dr to be sure.
