App saying put on too much weight??

Hi ladies,
Quick question, this app says i have put on above the normal weight range.
I am normally about 56.5 kgs and at 38 weeks i weigh 70 kgs.
A lot of my normal clothes (if they are generous around the tummy) sti fit me, and it is all boobs and belly....
Is 14kgs too much??

I'm only 34 weeks and have put on 14.5 kg and this app has constantly told me I'm overweight in pregnancy but my midwives and doctors think I'm just fine and I also pretty much wear all my old clothes. Don't let it worry you if you feel great don't worry about numbers and I don't know about u but I have a big belly which I'm guessing has most of the weight

With my 1st pregnancy I gained 50 pounds I was thin to start with and after 2 weeks I was back down to 110, my second pregnancy I was about 130 when I got pregnant and gained 24 lbs. And again lost it right after. This pregnancy it only 17 weeks but so far have gained 4 lbs. Don't stress about weight so much, it's not easy to grow a baby and it will she'd off after. I wore my pre pregnancy pants into the hospital on delivery day for both baby's and I was a 41 weeks with both prior. You have to put into account sweeling, boobays and also baby and the extras. No stressing the app is goofy.

No I know it said that I'm not gaining enough but I got a bmi of 27 so I don't need to gain so much !  It's just a guide line!!

Mine says I've gained excessive weight. Even though I'm only 1 pound over the recommended weight gain. So don't listen to the app. Unless your ob/midwife says anything, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Everyone is different and I think its unfair for the app to say you've put on too much weight. The only person who can really judge that is your midwife or ob/gynae. Im 25 weeks and have put on 10kgs...mine is all over and i have a big belly, but I was really active pre-pregnancy & then i wasnt medically cleared to exercise again until a few weeks ago. Try not to worry, your weight gain is healthy & helpful for your baby :-)
