I don't know how to feel about that I ask my ob and she just blows me off like I'm stupid or something... this is my first baby and I question everything! Please help ladies is this normal..  I'm all baby except my boobs they have sized up a cup and I already have huge boobs..

I was exactly like you and my doctor was mad at me for like three appointments because she said I was gaining to much too fast...but other people thought she was just being nit picky. Her goal for me was to gain like 20lbs..I've gained 35lbs and due tomorrow. Lol, she now tells me that I look beautiful and I sit there like... "really..5 weeks ago you called me fat." Lol..

With my first I weighed 105 when I got pregnant and got up to 165 when I had her.  It all just depends on your body. I'm pregnant with baby #4 now and I've always gained alot of weight pregnant no mafter what I ate or if I exercised. So don't worry I had healthy babies every time and the only big baby was 8 lbs 2 oz. Everyone is different and I don't think they should have a standard for weight gain.

I'm 16 weeks and have gained 7 lbs total and it says I'm above normal. I'm not worried about it since I know I'm eating healthy, I can barely eat meat and anything fast food or deep fried makes me nauseous. Go with what your doctor says.

Yep books are more accurate then this app. The hospital dietitian gave me one to chart my weight and its fine whilst this app says excessive without gaining anything is 8wks :-/

You are normal :) dont worry. Excessive weight gain is more like gaining 50+ and being full term. I think the weight part is really off so I consulted a book :p

At one pound over, or even holding steady with the topmost number of average, this app has and is informing me that my 9-10 lb weight gain is excessive. I feel bad enough with out it.  -_- I've decided to keep track of my weight myself and ignore the weight part of this app. My doctor wasn't concerned so I won't be either.

I'm having the opposite problem. I'm not gaining weight and my Dr can't figure out why. I eat a ton and I'm able to keep it down but havent gained much. My Dr. Is afraid that my baby is eating me while my body metabolizes everything quickly. My baby is healthy and normal so I guess I can't complain. So as long ad everything is OK with your baby I don't see how being over would hurt

I've gained 4 lbs over the recommended amount as of now and this stupid app tells me it's excessive.  F this app the weight part just makes me feel bad about myself so I'm not longer using it.
