My first I was 130 and gave birth at 160. This one I started at 170, dropped to 162, and am back up to 171 now at 21 weeks. I'm not doing any real exercise and not eating particularly heathly, but it hasn't been too bad yet. I feel like I'm starting to gain weight more quickly though. I just got back up to my starting weight in just 4 weeks.

I’m a little less than a week from half way and have gained 1 pound. And I wasn’t big before. I actually have a 1 year old and had just lost all my baby weight from that pregnancy when I found out I was pregnant. I’m worried the doctor is going to tell me I’m too small

Answer

I’m 39 weeks and I’ve gained 15 pounds! Doctors wanted me to gain around 30 but I’m not going to force feed food down my throat and my son at my anatomy scan last week was 8 pounds in the 77 percentile so he’s growing great. Recommend weight gain is 20-30 pounds
