Weight gain

I'm 31 weeks and 3 days and I've gained 45 pounds already. My pre-pregnancy weight was between 122-124. Now I am 169. It's that normal? I'm 5'2 My child's father is 6'7 so I think our baby is going to be big. Is anyone's weight similar to this?

Everyone and every pregnancy is different with my first I gained 49 pounds throughout the whole pregnancy, with my second I only gained a total of 27 pounds, and now I'm 32+2 with number 3 and have only gained 18 pounds.

I feel the same way about my weight sometimes, but my boyfriend is so much more attracted to me with this extra weight. Lol it's so funny. But he makes sure that I feel good all the time. :)

Thanks everyone! I feel better. I kinda think my weight is a lot of water too. This is my first baby, so I'm hoping I'm not gaining too much. I'm thinking it's his genes. I'm concerned about how much I'll gain from now until the end. My last appt was on june 23rd and I was 161. In the morning I usually weigh less, but we'll see. My next appt is july 14th.

I started at 103 and was 131 at my last appt. (I'm 37w2d) I'm 5'0 and my fiancé is 6'5 and weighs like 220. My doctor told me it just depends really and that dad being taller doesn't always mean baby will be big but yet it gives them more potential to be big so I would say possibly you're just gonna have a big baby like daddy!
