weight gain

[kate_1980]

I am 28 weeks pregnant , and have been overweight almost all of my adulthood. Now  I am gaining weight at a rate which is normal for normal wt women but I am a bit concerned about this,. I have gained 22 pounds already with 10/12 weeks to go. In my 1st pregnancy I had gained similar wt but it was a completely normal pregnancy throughout. Should I be concerned about this? Is there any way to control wt gain from here on?
I am 29 yrs old.

hi thanks all for the comments and support, I knw i won't be able to control my wt from now on till i deliver,but I will surely control what i eat, maybe that will help. I do walk for 15 mins at a time twice everyday ,but that's what I can manage after that my tummy starts getting hard and I feel uneasy so I knw I have to stop.
Anyway I will keep updating my status to u and congrates to all of u too..

I put on a lot of weight and haven't been able to shead any of it yet.  I'm now pregnant again and I'm watching my weight very closely and watching how much I eat.  It's hard to not give into cravings, but I'm working on moderation with them.  I'd say that if you want to watch your weight just weigh yourself more frequently, and keep a food journal.  Then you'll see how much your eating and can see if your just eating too much.  I plan on discussing food intake with my midwife to make sure I'm eating enough for the baby but enough so I don't gain TOO much weight.

Walking and swimming are the best for pregnancy from what I've heard, but you wan't to make sure you don't over do it.

Later in pregnancy weight gain can be rapid.for me with my first son 16 years ago.i never got this big,this time round its a big one.there is nothing to worry about,as long as your eating a healthy balanced meal.then your fine.
