weight gain

I'll keep this simple, how much did you gain in pregnancy?  And did your doctor mention your weight gain and scold you every visit?

With my daughter I gained 43 and she was 2 weeks late. With this one I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and have gained 25.. My Dr said I'm a little ahead of the game but I don't know why because I thought I was doing pretty well for as far along as I am.. He isn't terribly concerned tho.

I will be 30 weeks tomorrow and I've gained 30 so far. Dr did mention something about it but baby is healthy. I gained around 45 with my first but I wasn't very careful with what I ate

I haven't gained anything so far. I am 28 weeks. I am heavier so she still brings it up  every visit. But by heavy I mean I weight 210. Lost 10 gained 8 of that back but no actual weight gain.

I've gained quite a bit from quitting smoking, then finding out i was pregnant almost a month later. But my doctor is on me hard core on diet and exercise.  That mostly all we talk about. I understand the reason, but she is excessive.  I eat right and work full time. Yesterdays app had me in tears. Hormones maybe, but I know baby boy is healthy. That's really what matters. ♡ just have to overcome this glucose test. Yikes!

I'm 35&3. My pre pregnancy weight is 129.5 & I've gained 32.5lbs. My doctor has not said anything about my weight gain. After one of my 2 week visits I had gained 5lbs but he told me not to worry bc it was probably water retention. I gained a total of 33 with my first child 7 years ago.

I'm 39+4 and I've gained 35 pounds and my doctor had never said anything. According to the app is excessive, but add long as my doctor had showed no concerns I guess it's OK.

I thought I would be in trouble with the weight gain. I am 36 weeks pregnant and way the same as my pre pregnancy weight and am not overweight at all. But, since I had a few ultrasounds done and I measured out perfectly. Doctors say baby and I are healthy..just dont lose weight..everyone is different:)
