Weight Gain

[hales11211]

Hello!  Quick question. Have any of you experienced a lot of weight gain (like more then normal)? I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have already gained 30 pounds.  This is my 2nd pregnancy and with my first one I gained 40 pounds and lost all but 5 before getting pregnant with number 2. My doctor doesn't seem concerned but it still makes me feel like I shouldn't really be gaining this much...not sure why. Anyone have this problem? Is it normal?

i'm currently 35 weeks and have gained 38 lbs, at first I was really bothered by it because with my first pregnancy on the day I delivered I was 135lbs and my son was 8 and a half pounds, this baby is also shaping up to be a big one but six weeks after I had my son I was already back to my pre-pregnancy size, hope its the same with this one even though I have put on much more weight this time around, I am currently 150lbs

Thanks for responding! It kills me to step on the scale each time. I don't get why I've gained so much. I eat like I did before I was preggo (and I was relatively healthy). Glad to hear you were back to your regular size so quickly! I hope that is how it is with me!! Thanks!

I had this problem beefore i had my son mi weight was 145...then i gained over 60 lbs thee size of a pregnant woman with twins...the day of my c-section my son was 8lbs 7oz he was taken a week early beefore his due date and i weighed 202...every dr appt i cried beecause i never thought that weight would come off but 2 weeks after having him i was bakk to my regular size if not a little bit more....i would say if you are drinking soda or eating things like bread, rice and pasta dont eat so much of it beecause it will cause alot of weight gain
