Rapid weight gain

[BabyMarquez]

I am 25 week's  and six days.  I feel as I'm starting to gain  weight too fast.  I was 150 when I first found out I was pregnant now currently found out today I am 164. At first I struggled to eat and now is like I can eat every hour.  I feel that I haven't been doing my best at eating healthy.  I eat fruit a lot because that is what I crave and I don't eat in big portions just often through out the day. Am I exaggerating that I am starting to pack on weight quickly.?

If ur bmi was normal preprego then u are perfect.   14 lbs at 25 weeks is perfect.   My doc says 0-6 in the first tri, then one lb/ week after for normal preprego bmis.  This puts u at perfect. Good job mama. I have gained 12 at 23 weeks and yesterday doc said it was perfect :)

Girl you're fine! and snacking on fruits throughout the day is a great habit! Good luck!

As long as your dr isn't concerned, I would think you are fine. I only gained 6lbs from week 1-19, and then gained 9 more lbs between week 20-24. My doctor said that its common for women to gain in bursts like that, especially in the second trimester. Just try to maintain a healthy diet, and dont stress too much!

That's happening to me too, I'm 21 weeks and I've gained 11 lbs so far, I didn't wanna gain more than 15 lbs because I was obese when I started the pregnancy, but my Dr says is ok because I lost weight at the beginning, but he don't want me to gain more than 20 lbs

I wouldn't stress. I was also 150 pre pregnancy and I've gained 25lbs by 27 weeks. I do not like sweets. Or fried food. I have a pretty healthy diet and continue to work out every day. Sometimes your body just gains weight no matter what. Hormones!

I need to drink more water,  it's  just so hard because it wakes up my appetite especially when I'm  at work and there isn't nothing around to eat.

I think you're fine as long as your doctor says fine. I am 20 weeks and have gained 13 lbs already.

I just feel by the time I hit 8 months I'm going to be huge,  but  I do want my baby to come out big and healthy
