Gaining too much too fast?

Question

Hi mamas, I am a FTM and my pre pregnancy weight was 118, I’m 21 weeks and am at 145 now. I feel huge and have people asking me all the time if I’m sure there’s just 1, which honestly gets annoying. I don’t know if I’m eating too much or what but my belly is huge. I know everyone’s bodies are different but based on my pre-pregnancy body to now do you think I am gaining too much too quickly or is this normal?
P.S. I haven’t seen my doctor in over 10 weeks since my NT ultrasound and baby was measuring a week ahe

Answer

Nope…sometimes thinner women need to gain a bit more anyways. You look great!

Answer

girl i was 100 pounds soaking wet pregnancy and the day i had my baby i was 170. don’t worry. people are rude. i literally dropped almost all of it by the time i got home and i’m still a healthy(and beautiful) 125.

Answer

You look fantastic!! It doesn't look like you've gained weight anywhere else outside of baby belly. People who are thin before pregnancy tend to put on more weight during. As long as you know you're eating healthy then try your best to brush off these comments. They mean nothing. I've gain almost 40lbs, yet I can still fit into my low ride pre-pregnancy pants, and I'm constantly being told I'm tiny. Pregnancy weight gain makes no sense! Hang in there, you look great

Answer

perfectly normal and this should be the least of your worries if baby is healthy then what's the issue

Answer

Normal. I started out 118 with my first pregnancy and when I went to give birth, I was 172. My second I gained about 55 too. 3rd I gained about 65. 4th I'm currently at 43lbs gained and almost 33 weeks.

Answer

With my first baby I weighed 95 lbs and weighed 176 when I had her. Dropped it all in like 3 weeks. I was also only 21. With my second and this one my pre weight was 150 I’m 31 now. I gained so much weight with my second but dropped it all in like 3 weeks. With this one I’ve gained 3 pounds and I’m 20 weeks but baby boy is measuring perfectly. Every pregnancy and every body is different but I’ve never had a problem with losing the baby weight,

Answer

You’re fine, I’ve gained 50lbs so far and am almost 170 now. I have been eating too much but dr isn’t concerned since I don’t have gestational diabetes and baby is measuring on track and not ahead. Before my glucose test she said the rapid weight gain could lead to gd and a too big to push out baby, but everything is fine.

Answer

You look great! People can be so dumb. Don't listen to them. When I was pregnant with my daughter I started at 135. Gained 40 pounds and my doctor didn't say a word about it. This time around I started a little underweight at 127. I'm 26 weeks tomorrow and I now weigh 154-ish. When I met with my midwife a few weeks ago she said my weight gain at that point was great. If your doctor isn't conxnered I wouldn't be either. Sometimes we gain more than we'd like but that's okay. As long as you're healthy, babe is healthy, and doctor isn't worried I wouldn't be worried about it. Don't let some weight gain make you love yourself or what your body is capable of any less

Answer

You look amazing! Like everyone else has mentioned, don’t listen to rude comments. People need to mind their own business when it comes to others bodies and pregnancies. We’re all different!

Answer

Don't worry too much about what others say and listen to what your doctor says. I was 87-94 before each of my pregnancies. My doctors wanted me to gain like 35-50 lbs. Sometimes they really want/need you to gain a lot of weight quickly. I didn't, usually. And I was sent for multiple scans with one of mine because I was too small. It was nerve racking and very scary to worry about my baby. I would much rather gain a little too much weight than gain too little. Not to mention, my doctor for one of mine said gaining too little can affect the babies brain development (he said it in a much more rude way and used the R word but I'm putting it in a less gross way.)
