have I gained enough?

I am 20 weeks and have only gained 10 lbs since being pregnant. Of course I couldn't eat very much in the first trimester, but I have been able to eat a lot more, and I am trying to gain some weigh. Haha. I mean, i will probably start gaining a bunch as the baby gets older and my midwives aren't worried and say what I eat is more important than the weight gain. I'm a FTM and don't really know. I weighed 135 before pregnancy and now weigh 145. Its just that this app says I'm underweight, but I eat so much! I feel like I eat a lot and don't think I can eat any more . Stupid question, I just wanted to ask

Until week 20 I didn`t get any weight at all but since I was eating normally my doctor wasn`t concerned.

Your weight gain sounds perfect to me! Don't listen to this app, its weard about weight! Plus most of the weight gain comes in the third trimester, towards the end!

I literally only gained 7 pounds. That was 5 pounds of my water uterus and placenta and 2 pounds of baby. I lost 40 pounds. I got down to 82 pounds. Delivered yesterday and I already have a beach body lol. It literally looks like I was never even pregnant. Like I was wearing one of those fake bellies. No joke. You have gained the perfect amount of weight! And the fact that you are able to gain is fantastic. I delivered at 30 weeks 5 days. Keep doing what your doing momma!

As long as you are eating , and your midwives don't see your weight as a concern you are fine . I thought I was gaining to much weight because of this app but my doctor said she would like me to gain up to 35 pounds I'm close to it already but if I gain any more I feel like I'm in more pain

My app says I'm over weight but my Dr still wants me to gain weight. Everyone's body is different. Don't listen to the app
