How much weight is too much weight to gain in pregnancy?

Question

So I am nearly 27 weeks pregnant and started out as 8st 8lbs at the start of my pregnancy- with a BMI of around 21/22 - I now weight 9st 10lbs - is this too much weight to put on? I did a BMI calculator and my BMI is now 24.1 🙃 and if I reach over 25 then I’m classed as overweight for my height as I’m 5ft 3 -
Would just like to know because I don’t know if I am gaining weight too quickly or if I’m on the right track? Or if there even is a right track 🙄? Any info would be great! 💙

Answer

I am not sure about your size. I’m 5’7” and weigh 200 lbs. I was told to gain 10-15 through the entire pregnancy. Can you email your doctor?

Answer

Your doctor should have told you that.  For my weight, height, and previous fitness level my doctor told me to gain between 25-40 lbs.  She wants me to try to gain towards the higher end if I'm not able to be as active and will be losing denser muscle, or the lower end if me fitness is staying on par.

Answer

when I started I was 125. I was told anywhere between 25-35. 
here I am getting induced and I've gained just shy of 30. 
my sister gained 60. not great but she was still healthy

Answer

My midwife told me I should gain 25lbs to 35lbs by the end of the pregnancy. She said people usually should gain about a pound per week
