Weight gain question.

I'm 17 weeks and have gained 7 pounds. Is that good, bad or average? This app says it's excessive.

Wait What are you guys looking at?  This app just gives an average of What u should be gaining so at 17 weeks is says between 5-10 pounds so being that u only gained 7 your doing just fine.... this app just give a steadily average range weight I personally think it's pretty cool simply because of the range

As long as you gain slowly and steadily without any major jumps, everything should be on track. I'm also at 7lbs at 18 weeks. Only gained 23 with my first and 10 of that was the last month and a half!

i gained 7lbs by my 16 week appointment and my doctor was thrilled with the progress. i'm average height & weight. the doc said stay active, eat healthy, rest when tired, stop worrying about weight gain! :)

... And.... I think 7 pounds at 17 weeks is good!

Ignore this app when it comes to weight gain!  If you are of average weight... Not underweight or overweight... Then gaining 25 - 35 pounds through your whole pregnancy is considered good. The weight gain on this app is bs because every woman gains differently.. They say once you are in your second trimester you gain approx a pound a week... But some women will gain five pounds in one week and none for the next four weeks... Which is why this app only works for women who gain exactly one pound per week.
