Weight Gain.. ugh :/

I'm 32 weeks today, and I've gained 45 lbs already.. I feel so huge! I was already overweight to start out, and it's really starting to bother me how much I've gained. When i got pregnant, i had just lost 90 lbs and was still 30 short of my goal(ideal weight for my height), and now gaining it back feels awful. Everything hurts again, and I'm so ready to be able to work out again and get this extra weight off for good. :/

I gained 68lbs with my first pregnancy. Totally own fault though, I definitely took eating for 2 to heart.

My first pregnancy I gained 65lbs and the doctors never said anything about my weight. I still had 20lbs to lose when I got pregnant the 2nd time. This time around im 33 weeks and gained almost 25lbs. Every pregnancy is different but this time I watch what I eat and I walk daily. Believe me walking 30 mins will help.

Oh my goodness. I totally understand. I had put on a few pounds prior to being pregnant (10), and was about to start hitting the gym when I found out I was pregnant.  I've been obsessed with my weight this entire pregnancy.  I've only gained 21 lbs at 33 weeks but this stupid app keeps saying I'm over weight! I'm older so I know I'm not going to snap back like some of you ladies :( oh well. My Only son is worth it!

I'm 5'2 32 weeks pregnant and I only weigh 128 pounds. My starting weight was 115. I've always been tiny. It irks me that I can't gain weight with this pregnancy. With my last I got up to 150

I'm 5'6 and I started out at 191 lbs. I'm now 32 weeks and I've gained about 9 lbs but only BC pregnancy doesn't do so well with me. I've been nauseated, morning sickness, and diarrhea so I'm really not eating enough to gain.

I was 98lbs when I found out I got pregnant and I've gained about 19lbs at 29wks. Im 4'10 so my starting weight was average. In all honesty I feel like I'm gaining too quickly.  But you can't even notice on my body. I have the same thigh, arm, and calve measurements as before I got pregnant, but my boobs have tripled in size. I went from an A to near D. It's so crazy. Pregnancy is weird

Hmmm...  was maybe 150 when I got pregnant.... almost 200 pounds now! Not to happy about the weight gain either. Got stretch marks all over my calves now and stomach it *****. But what can we do, that's how a pregnancy works, I just want my baby to be out so I can start exercising!!!!
