Too much weight?

The normal weight gain range that I've always been told (on my third successful pregnancy) is between 25-35 pound by full term. Why is this app saying I should have at most gained 19 lbs right now (I'm 39+1). I've gained 26 pounds. It is very annoying to see "excessive weight gain" when I log in:(

This app isn't accurate. I'm right on track with my weight gain and it tells me I'm excessive. Ignore it and go by what your doctor says. :)

Ya, I brought this up to my dr about what the app says...lol...she said just turn it off. It does bother me that it says excessive weight gain but it lies. I'm 34 weeks and have gained 16 pounds

Don't feel bad.  I already gained 42lbs and I'm barely 34wks.  I don't even pay attention to the weight gain part of this app even though it says it's excessive.  I was told I look great, so meh..lol.

I've noticed that too, mine says not enough weight gain and advises me to see medical help, when my doctor said is perfect.

My mom gained 40+ with her last pregnancy, dr wasn't concerned cause Baby was healthy and my brother came out at 8lbs. So I think your ok and not to worry Hun.
My app kept saying I was under weight and I got worried but dr said I was fine. And my daughter was close to 9lbs when I delivered her at 38w.
