Weight gain jumped up?

Question

I am 23 weeks pregnant and have been pretty slow to gain weight. At my 20 week ultrasound (done at 20 weeks+5 days) I had only gained 4 pounds since getting pregnant. It’s been about 2 weeks since my appointment and I have gained another three pounds (all in my belly for sure) is that pretty normal to jump up like that or do I need to watch what I’m eating a little better?

Answer

It’s normal- the baby is gaining
Much faster as you get closer to the third trimester..

Answer

Yes, once you hit a certain point (mine was around 24-25w) you start to jump up in weight as the baby hits a huge growth spurt. I gained maybe 7lbs before then and now I’m up 26lbs at 32w 6d.

Answer

It’s normal. I tend to gain 2lbs at a time. I only gained 20lbs with each of my previous pregnancies but always gained 2 at a time. I also stalled out and stopped gaining around 36-37 weeks.

Answer

Normal. Doctors want you to gain a pound a week at this point.
