Thank goodness someone posted about this!! I thought was the only one!! I've gained 23 lbs and I'm 22 weeks and 2 days. My first, I gained I think 50. I don't want to gain any more than 10 lbs. I think if I gain 30-35 I will be OK. I had lost 70 before this pregnant, then slowly gained it back.

I've gained 37lbs and my docs office makes me so insecure about it. Even sent me a dietician 2x. Don't know why I gain so much but with each pregnancy I gain more than 50lbs. Very stressful.

My first 3 pregnancys I was 110 and gained 35 lbs and always went right back to pre pregnancy weight. My 4 th I started out same 110 and delivered at 171.  I gained like 60 lbs and my son is 2 and I never lost the weight I exclusively breastfed for almost 2 yrs also and am now preggo again and getting pregnant at 170 kinda scars me. Well just enjoy your pregnancy and we are all beautiful mo matter how much we gain.

I totally get it I have gained some excessive weight too and am in pain as well but all we can do is be grateful we have a beautiful amazing healthy baby and that it is a joy and a miracle that's what helps me not be depressed us I take that energy and get excited about plans for after baby body and Goals etc. I say this because the weight has already been gained. All we do is change our perspective until babies arrive then we can work out as hard as we want haha

As of my apt at 28wks I had gained 20lbs. I started off heavy to begin with so now I feel huge. It is pretty much all baby for me though so I'm nOt horribly upset. I just hope to lose it all plus some pretty quickly after baby

I know how you feel. I'm 26 weeks and gained 33 so far. my doctor said I can Tony gain 2 pounds when I see her next (4 weeks) I eat healthy and exercise 5 times a week, but I'm 5'0 feet, so I feel bigger then I should be. I'm really hoping I don't gain much more.

Weight gain is the hardest thing to adjust to I feel! Ice always been underweight (130 at 6'0) and I've gained 26 lbs and I'm 27 weeks..I try to remember that as long as I keep eating healthy and stay active then the gain is necessary

I was at 162 pre-pregnancy. And I am 198 now! And I'm barely 29 weeks I'm literally gaining weight like crazy. But I don't mind as long as my baby comes out healthy because I'm going to the gym every day eating healthy(but a lot lol). I'll worry about my weight after pregnancy

I'm not sure of the pound conversion but I'm 36+2 and I've gained 17kgs already. My midwife says it's fine and mostly baby as I haven't really expanded to much looks wise but it still bothers me that I've put on so much weight. I feel super heavy but I'll just work out the best way to lose it after bubs

I'm right there with ya..I was 136 at the beginning and now about 180. With my first I gained 55. I always gain more, I guess it's just how my body responds to pregnancy. I've been able to get back to my pre pregnancy weight pretty easily with a little exercise and eating healthy

The dr said I'm having problems breathing because I'm only 4'8 and the baby is blocking my air . I'm not even scare to my baby , I just want to push her out already. Lol I just think it will be so much harder for me to lose the weight because I'm so short. My fiance thinks I'm over reacting.

I was 106lbs 21yrs when getting pregnant. 166lbs when I had her. i'm about 125-135 now (fluctuates cause im under a lot of stress right now), but hoping to only go up to MAX 160 again.
I was the same way after I had my daughter. I was so unhappy about my weight, but technically I was underweight before. and im at the weight for my height now.

Don't worry I started at 146 and I am 183 and I am 36vweeks. Everyone's body is different.  You will lose it all after I did with my first.
