pregnancy and weight gain=(
so i went to my doctors office yesterday and she told me from 3w4d pregnant all the way to 21w4d i have gained 12lbs. should i be concerned about this?? i had 2 other pregnancies one in 2008 and one in 2010 and i gained weight fast with them maybe like 30-60lbs or so. have any of you ladies had this problem?? and is it okay that iv only gained 12lbs from 3w4d to 21w4d?

It depends on your pre-pregnancy weight. If your BMI was above average for your height/weight ratio, then gaining 12 lbs is a healthy weight gain for you. If your BMI was average, or below average, for your height/weight ratio, then gaining more weight would be a good idea - drink more water, eat more protein and complex carbs. Hope this helps!
I hadn't gained anything till after 20 weeks and my doctor wasn't ever concerned. Baby always measured exactly what she was supposed to be and that's all that matters :)
I was 8 weeks pregnant and i lost 7 pounds in a week over stress. I gained it back slowly. I'm now 35 weeks and gained 22 pounds throughout my pregnancy, everyone says I'm super tiny but I think the reason why is because I can't eat a lot, I get full real fast. I can't even finish a meal like I use to before I got pregnant. People say its the way my baby is sitting. But Im always worried my hes not growing the way he is suppose to.
8 pounds so far and Im only 9+6. I'm way under weight and my body just gains weight when Im prego. I gotta put on a few extra pounds I guess cause I eat healthy. Lol
With my son I gained a grand total of 56 lbs and I am 30w4d with baby # 2 and havd already gained 38 lbs lol. I deny myself nothing when I'm pregnant so I am to blame but I don't let it worry me and my doc hasn't said anything to me about it yet.
I've gained about 9lbs and I'll be 25 weeks on Saturday, my dr does not seem concerned, she just said everything is right on track. It totally varies from woman to woman. I look huge but haven't really gained that much.
P.s. i'm 25w2d...i have only gained 9 lbs...i wasnt overweight at all to begin with...its totally fine...
10-15 is normal at your point in preg...so your fine...if there was a prob your drs would have said so yesterday!! :)
Not a problem. Some women just don't gain any and every pregnancy is different. As long as you are eating healthy there us no point gaining weight that us not needed. Your dr will voice a concern tho if they are worried. I've gained 13 as of 20 weeks and dr is fine with that. Will see tomorrow how much more I've gained as I'm 24 weeks today.
