weight gain!

[mandygrace]

I'm 6months almost 25 weeks and in the last two three months I've gained 20 lbs and a total of at least 25-28 lbs this whole pregnancy. I don't lookbit really but is this bad??

I so agree with you. Do the best you can and don't worry about the numbers. To whomever said it's 15 lbs... I don't agree with your logic. You would have to lose weight to only gain 15, considering that 18 lbs is the estimate in how much you'll gain from the placenta, extra blood, breast tissue, etc. Thats not including maternal fat, vitamin stores, and the actual baby! I would love to put on 15 lbs, pop out a 10 lb baby, lose another 18 lbs of placenta, fluid, etc. And come out than thinner than ever after birth, but that's unrealistic.

I will be 29weeks Thursday and I only gained 4lbs. as of today 28weeks and 6days my baby is 3lbs already but this is my 4th baby.

I don't think anyone should tell a pregnant woman what is normal weight gain or not every ones body is different and as long as your are healthy and your doctor agrees! Women are already self conscious as it is while pregnant I know I was and still am...20 weeks and have gained 10 lbs

Naaah dont b worried atall ive been told over 20pounds is normal  its fine asling as baby healthy ive gained weight hard out..n im only 13 weeks but its only in my boobs n tum...and im the only one that notices it.askong as u eating healthy there nothing to worry about most woman loose weight while breast feeding anyway.dont stress.

sounds about average. im 29 wks tomorrow and im at about 25lbs. i haven't gained much in the last 4 wks and was measuring bigger earlier on and have slowed down to a normal pace now. everyone is different and gains differently. if your dr isn't concerned then you shouldn't be. average weight gain during pregnancy is 25 to 35 not the 10 to 15 stated above and those numbers are just guidelines. you literally gain close to 8 lbs in fluids alone during a pregnancy (blood doubles, amniotic fluid, placenta) so if the 10 to 15 pounds was the normal amount gained we'd be having 2-5 lbs babies? that doesnt add up to me. i think your right on track mama but by all means if you're feeling concerned speak to your dr. :)

I'm 27 weeks and gained 28 pounds. My doctor said its normal and didnt seem concerned at all. (I dont look fat though, its all my belly and boobs)

Actually it is not normal to gain that much at 6 months. It is normal to gain 10-15 pounds total during pregnancy. Eating right and exercising has to become a priority. When we are pregnant our body starts storing food for breast feeding purposes so picking good food is important. I have gained 5 pounds in 3 months and my doctor had a talk with me about future weight gain.

I am the same I gained about 29 lbs and I'm 27 weeks. The doctor said it normal and that the baby is measuring at where he should be.
