How much weight has anyone gained?
Ive gained about 6 lbs and im 20 weeks. I honestlt hate it. My entire life ive been overweight and then finally i got skinny and i hate the fact im getting "fat" again. Its so depressing. I feel like just dieting or working out ro loose the weight gain but i know im not suppose to. How did anyone deal with thee weight gain? And what is the normal amount of weight gain?

I was 106lbs with my first and 166lbs when I had her.
I felt depressed I'd NEVER be a size 2 again, and that I'm a size 5 now. I'm 17wks along now and plan to have a vaginal delivery (which will widen my hips even more :( ) as opposed to another C-section like I did with my daughter

I'm 39 weeks and I lost 12lb in first few months I've made up for it tho by gaining 28lb I wouldn't worry about it too much think of how much the baby,placenta and water around the baby weighs ect

I am 23 weeks and gained 13lb. I started with healthy weight & still in normal range. I try to eat healthy and not to gain excess weight. I learned from last pregancy the excess weight is hard to get rid off.

Have you been told not to work out? I was told to keep doing as much as I was comfortable with as its good for me and baby. I ran 5k 3 times a week until my third trimester. Now I just walk. Obviously if you haven't been working out don't start now!

I gained so far about 15lbs and im 38 wks. But im a petit person to begin with. So they werent worried even tho im way below the normal weight gain range. As long as baby is healthy I honestly wouldnt mind it. Cause I can lose it later. But good luck keep in mind your not alone anymore. As long as ur healthy and can work it out later why not. He/she will be worth it.
