I'm 17w4d and I've gained 11 lbs also.. This pregnancy app says its excessive, but I'm 6 foot and a prepregnancy weight of 145lbs that's a BMI of 19 which is the lowest you can go before considered underweight.. Really I think just use common sense for the weight gain.. If you feel like you're gaining too much fat then try n eat healthier and excercise.. We're all different and healthy for one person is different for another..

First thing is depends on ur bmi... If ur considered above 35bmi thn u r in obese list infact sometimes after 30bmi doctors make tend to make sure that u fo maintain ur weight during pregnancy as it can cause complications at later stage... Such Gastegestional diabetes.. Premature birth etc etc... If u r under weight thn u r tend to increase more lb thn ny normal women... I hve also gained almost 11lb at 17 weeks n my midwife thinks its normal as my bmi is below 30... She said i d be concerned if u would hve been above 35bmi... So u should ask ur doctor coz he knows best thn ny of us here as he has ur medical history... Other than tht eat healthy, drink plenty of fluids n do light pregnancy excersie...


Take care n best of luck

80 pound!! Is not at all normal weight gain, the doc that said that is an idiot! But yes your weight gain is in the normal range for sure. With my first pregnancy I gained 55pounds! and that is excessive. For this pregnancy I am watching my weight much more, last time I just ate whatever and didn't exercise at all! big mistake since my daughter was 7pounds& the rest was all me, and I had to work that much harder to lose the weight after having her. This time around I'm trying to workout at least 3 times a week, drinking lots of water and eating healthy. So far I am 20 weeks and have gained 13.5 pounds, which according to the weight charts is "overweight" but Im not gonna beat myself up over a few pounds. I feel healthy, and my pregnancy is going well, that's a blessing :) Good luck!

I'm also 18 weeks & have gained 11 pounds. My doctor said its perfect. I'm exactly where I should be. Sounds like your doc is a quack. Sorry!

Dont worry about it. Just eat healthy and make healthy choices and stay active. You should gain about 12 pounds in your second trimester. This also depends on your pre preg weight. If you were under weight you should gain about 30. Normal weight about 25 and over weight about 20. Gaining 80 is dangerous tho and they should not be a doc lol. Gaining 40 is excessive even but many women do. Just be healthy :)

I have to agree. That is extremely healthy weight gain, you are right on track and well within the normal range. Don't stress out about it and carry on doing what you are doing. Eat and drink healthily and have the odd treat every now and then

Your doctor is an idiot. I'm almost 22 weeks and I've put on 20 pounds. My doctor said anything up to  80 pounds is normal. And I omlynput the last ten or so pounds on since I was about 18 weeks. Don't stress your doctor is WRONG!!
