weight

So I'm 5.10 and my pre pregnancy weight was 171lbs and now I weigh 194lbs so I've gained 23lbs. Is that a bad thing? Im measuring my weeks and to be honest its the smallest I've been at this stage in pregnancy compared to my others.
I'm not constantly filling my face and certainly dont have the attitude of "eating for two". Ive not really changed my eating habits. I do have treats dont get me wrong but I dont drink anyone so the odd cake is my savour (not that I was a huge drinker pre pregnancy)
Just wanted to get some feed back really......xx

honestly it could have been 45 pounds...I delivered 7 months ago but 4 months pp I was under my pre pregnancy weight. I do believe breastfeeding helped the weigh loss.

Thanks for replying :-) my diet is well balanced and I only really drink water because of heartburn. I don't drive so I walk everywhere with my two small children. I guess this app is just going by guidelines. I put it into the baby centre weight calculator and its said I was 1lb over what I should be. I think I can live with that. Just dont want to end up like the back end of a bus lol I wasnt far of with my son at full term :-) congratulations to all of you on your babies and thanks for the reassurance xx

Yeah, if you're 29 weeks, I'd say you are fine, since you weren't overweight before. Just set a goal weight, and work on that. I normally weigh 130 and I'm 5'3". I decided 20 lbs would be enough weight by the end. So my goal is to not go over 150.

I'm 5.4 started at 98lbs. (Very Underweight) and gained 6lbs in the first weeks. Idk how much I weigh now and I certainly don't pig out. I just think it's the baby putting in some weight. Idk how but it's true.

Gaining 20-35 pounds is normal throughout your pregnancy. How far along are you?

How far are you? Its usually based on how far along you are.
