Question

BMI: 25.7" /> 
If you chose gained too much, how do I slow down weight gain?
I go for a 30 minute walk everyday and do arm weight exercises everyday.
I don’t eat very bad, just eat a little more than normal.

Answer

I personally think you shouldn’t worry too much about your weight gain. Everyone is different and gains differently. There are so many contributing factors. Not even every pregnancy in the same person is the same. Unless you gained 100 lbs by 23 weeks I’d say just continue what you’re doing. My mom barely gained 20 lbs with me but she gained 60 with my sister. I gained 14 with my son and only gained 7 with my daughter. Another girl I know who’s pregnant right now is 22 weeks and has gained 30 already. It’s just how everyone’s body does the job. As long as that little baby is growing that’s what really matters.

Answer

My doctor is concerned that I gained 10 by 23 weeks but I was also already a bit overweight and they only want me to gain between 11-20 lbs during the whole pregnancy I'm sure your fine she told me to cut back on sweets since I've had a milkshake craving lately

Answer

It's not a perfect curve, I gained then maintained, gain and maintained. I remember it having add up by my mid-way appointments, then it like trickled up. I can't remember any numbers 😂 I gained 32lbs and 35lbs with my pregnancies so far, I lost it all before my 6 week checkup 🤷🏻‍♀️👍 
The boobs weigh, the fluids, the baby, it adds up quick!
