i think ur lucky to have gained only 3 kg i know a few ppl that gaind 20-30!!!

If ur doctor thinks its ok then it probably all is ok.  I couldn't grasp whether you were worried your not gaining enough weight or that your worried about how much you have gained.

I have gained almost 15 kgs and I am in my 31st week.

KMy doctor is constantly having a go at me as I was only supposed to put a maixmum of 10 kgs throughout the entire preganancy.

I have the same question as the previous poster; Do you think you have gained too much? Has your doctor said that it is not enough weight?

I think 3 kgs sounds like a very small amount of weight, as the baby should be weighting aboput 1.5kgs by now alone, and then you should add the placenta to that.

Sounds like you'veonly gained 7 ounds. That is nothing at all. You need to eat to have a healthy baby- otherwise, you are at risk not only for having a premature baby, but one that is small for it's age.  Pregnancy is definately NOT the time to be concerned about weight gain- maybe if you've gained 50 kg, but certainly not 3....
