Is my weight normal?

Question

I’m 5’4 135 pounds at 34 weeks pregnant. I was 105 before I got pregnant. My total weight gain is 30 pounds. 1.1 pound per week. My doctor said I gained too much weight even though after reading online my weight is in the normal range. I was really skinny before and now I look normal. I feel like shes over exaggerating. I always get told how small I look. She came off very rude.

Answer

I’m pretty sure 135 is still a healthy BMI for someone your height even if they’re not pregnant. At 34 weeks pregnant I think you’re completely healthy. Someone as small as you were before pregnancy is supposed to gain more than 30 lbs.

Answer

I’ve gained 50 pounds and I’m 38 weeks. My doctor doesn’t even bring it up. Some doctors are just more strict about the weight gain than others. You’re fine though! 💗

Answer

Oops didn’t mean to vote too big! I was just about the same as you

Answer

I was 100lbs and always gained 60 lbs I think your fine .

Answer

I’m 5’3 and was 102 when I got pregnant, I’m 37 weeks and weigh 143. My doctor hasn’t ever said anything about my weight. Plus I gained 50lbs with my first and was down to my pre baby weight within 3 months, so I wouldn’t worry if I was you, you’re fine.
