As long as your doctor isn't concerned, don't worry about it! Just be sure you are getting the proper nutrition for you and your baby, and leave the worrying about baby weight for later. A lot of that weight will disappear once your little one is here. :)

Don't forget on average 10-15 pounds is all baby, placenta and fluid retention xx

I was 145 pounds before I was pregnant and my first check up I was at 19 weeks and I weighed 158 pounds that day and when I went back around 25 weeks I weighed 168 pounds and my last appointment two weeks ago I was around 28 weeks and I weighed 180 pounds and I'm 30 weeks today so I probably gained more lol. It's normal to gain weight. Your carrying a child inside you and eating for 2 or depending if your have more then 1 bun in the oven

Lol that's still good. I'm not breastfeeding though so I guess I'll just wait to see what happens for me

Oh god no. I sat on my *** pretty much all day. I breastfeed. And apparently that helps you lose the weight a lot faster

Girl ive gained over 55 pounds. If yours and baby's heartrate are ok, good blood pressure, no diabetes, you're ok! Not everyone can fit into that ideal weight range the doctors expect.
