weight gain

Hi ladies! How much weight did you put on during your pregnancy? I'm 29 weeks and have put on 11kg/ 22 pounds even though I'm going for long walks with my husky every day and don't eat more than the recommended 2300 calories. Today this app told me my weight gain was "excessive". How much more did you put on in the last 11 weeks? Just so I have an idea of what to expect. Thank you!

I'm 33 weeks and have gained 25 lbs. as long as you and baby are well, I don't think it matters a whole lot how much or how little weight you put on unless there's problems.

I have 3 different apps and they all say different things, so don't go by this app. I'm 39 weeks and gained 21 lbs.  Now I'm starting to lose weight since the last few weeks my appetite has decreased drastically. So I'm sure I'll shed some pounds once this lil guy is born.

Thank you everyone! They never weighed me at the doctors so we never talked about it. But I guess you're right, as long as they don't say anything and I'm eating right me and the baby will be fine, which is the most important thing. I'm just gonna have to deal with the excess weight after birth :-(

I gained almost 50 pounds during my first pregnancy. I was all belly and baby. 5 months later and im back to my original weight, i guess i was lucky with that.
I actually lost 10 pounds the first trimester and gained most of the weight during the last trimester, plus i was swollen with water weight

Ugh I'm 39 weeks and have gained a grand total of 33lb!!! My weight gain actually seemed to slow in the last trimester. I think maybe 1lb a week -ish, as the odd week I didn't gain anything :)

Well I am 39 weeks and have gained 40lbs total. I have been eating right and staying active. I think it is more important to eat enough healthy foods so your baby and you get all the nutrients you need!!! My doctor has never once said it was bad.
