Please please please don't worry about your weight <3 it goes to a vast majority of places in your body and it's very important you keep a steady gain! Pregnancy is not a time to lose weight, and definitely not a time to diet :). Your weight gain can be attributed to things like Extra blood, fluids, growing breast, and don't forget a baby and placenta! I feel like the app is Ridiculous on the weight gain part. My dr told me that it's okay to gain a Pound each month in the first trimester and a pound a week from then on. Keep your heads up ladies, and enjoy this time.

I gained 2 lbs up until 19 weeks, then from 19 to 21 I gained another 7. 7 lbs in 2 weeks. As long as your doctors not concerned you shouldn't be.

I'm 24 weeks and I gained 12 since my last appt 4 weeks ago which puts me at 17 total! I thought it was a lot but my dr said it was completely normal and not to worry I'm right on track. She also said towards the end your appetite will slow down along w the weight gain but right now the baby's doing a lot of growing so it's normal to be eating a lot and gaining more around this time.

I am 23 weeks and have gained 16+lbs. I don't know my exact weight, I don't own a scale. But I have my next doctor appointment this Thursday and will find out my weight then. I gained 13lbs from week 7-13. And then only 3 lbs after that. I was a little skinny (I am 5'9" and weighed 130lbs pre pregnancy). My doctor was not concerned about the quick gain that I had because it subsided. If she says it is ok then I am not going to worry about it. Nearly every woman will gain or lose weight a little differently so I don't stress about mine. It is interesting to see how our bodies react differently to pregnancy though. Good luck with your little one!
