Gaining alot of weight

I started this pregnancy weighing 125lbs and im 28 weeks now and I weigh 152lbs. I still got 12 weeks. I hate to see how much more I'm going to gain. It's all baby tho cause I'm still little as I always be. How are you ladies doing with the weight gain?

If you started with a lower weight, your body probably needed more for the baby. Don't be hard on yourself. Breastfeeding is great for shedding those extra pounds.

I started at 121 and now 137 at 26.5 weeks. My hip joints and sciatic hurt so bad. This is my second pregnancy and didnt have this problem the first time around. I gained 39 overall with my first.

I got a big belly and by me being so little (skinny) it takes a toll on me cause at times it be too much weight for my legs to hold. These big breast of mines don't make nothing better either lol but it's not like im complaining about the weight it all go away after i have the baby anyway.  This is my fourth and if you saw me you wouldn't think i had one baby. I always bounce back! No stretch marks, baby fat or workout plan. My stomach just gets dark after i give birth but it goes back to it's natural color a couple months after!

I started out at 127 and now weigh 155...I'm past due.. Almost 41 weeks now. What I did was eat the same with just a few Extra snacks more. That seemed to do the trick.  Plus I've been a pretty decently healthy person.. Though my snacks were a little unhealthy lol.  Anyway it wasn't until maybe 38 weeks that I feel like eating all the time.. Especially at night. She is totally stealing my food. I was told at my last ultrasound that she's 8 pounds... So not looking forward to the pushing,  but I can't wait till she's out.  I'm so ready!

Weight gain isn't even through the whole pregnancy so it is possible and healthy if you don't gain a lot more. And if you do, it's ok! Baby will be healthy and the will be time to exercise and eat healthy and lose that weight when you arnt growing a Little human in your belly! Everyone is different don't be upset if you aren't the 'average'

So far I've gained more then what I should and I'm 25 weeks, soon to be 26. I carry my weight well though, so I'll really worry when my Dr says something. But I'm trying to stay where I'm at now.
