In total I gained 45 lbs.  My Dr made me feel bad.  But I ended up having all baby weight n lost the rest to breastfeeding.  Its ok as long as u don't go over board

I'm sorry for your loss I've been there twice :(
I have been eating fruits and veggies not a lot of junkie or fatty foods I only was gaining two lbs a month up until now I am almost 22wks hoping it'll slow down and was just a spurt..... I know I need to get more exercise I am a full time student work part time and have three daughters and husbie at home sounds like an excuse but its hard to find time especially since it is so cold and blizzard like here taking a daily walk is even trying

How far along are you? I gained 7 lbs in 4 weeks on my last check up lol. But my overall weight gain is only 10 lbs so I think that's why the doc didn't say anything. But I really hope I don't continue to have a 7 lb weight gain each month lol.
