Normal weight gain in second trimester?

Question

I’m wondering if my weight gain would be considered “normal” or if I should call my doctor. I gained almost nothing my first trimester, today I’m 27+2 and I’ve gained 14 pounds. But I’ve gained 2 lbs. per week for the last 3 weeks. Nothing’s changed as far as exercise, eating. I work out 6 days a week and eat healthy. 
I’ve heard rapid weight gain can be a sign of preeclampsia? Just wondering if I should be concerned. Thanks in advance!

Answer

I'm actually scared about only having gained 6 lbs so far and I am almost 24 weeks. Still so sick too! 😭

Answer

This is me 🙋🏻‍♀️ 
I actually lost weight and then in 4 weeks between doctors visits I put on around 12 lbs. No preclampsia - blood pressure is good. I actually have to take asprin this pregnancy for history of GH. It's really normal for the weight to start to skyrocket. Just start keeping an eye on what you're eating and how much. 2,200 calories for second trimester is around normal and then 2,400 for third. If you are eating higher sodium foods it can cause more fluid retention and the weight will fluctuate. Just weigh 1 time a week on the same day and monitor but don't stress out about it. 😊

I have read that at this time period,, the baby will be gaining half a pound each week. I think you are doing great! I am 24 weeks and have gained 14 pounds, but I also have bad eating habits (regrettably).

Answer

Someone I know who had preclampsia was gaining 5+ pounds a week and swelling up. 
I’m no doctor, but I feel like the various pregnancy apps have mentioned 2nd trimester weekly weight gain anywhere from 0.5-2 pounds a week. You’re probably ok, but ask your doctor.
