Again expecting 11 years later

[again32]

I have a 11 year old and found out I'm pregnant and due in June. Will this pregnancy affect my body? I've been trying to gain weight since forever! My first pregnancy I only gained 10 pounds. I want to gain at least 30 this time around. Any suggestions?

Just make sure you are taking a good prenatal and eat good meals with snacks in between.  If ur doctor isn't worried and the baby is growing good I wouldn't stress.  Good luck.

Well if your dr isn't concerned I wouldn't worry too much. As long as the baby is growing fine. Ask him/her if he recommends any changes in diet or anything additional you can do safely to gain weight. I wouldn't go out and just eat junk food the entire time just to see the numbers go up. My aunt only gained 12, and 16 pounds with both her pregnancies. I gained 35+ with both of mine.

I had a appointment yesterday and I'm under weight. I'm 5'10 and weight 133 pounds and 3 of them I just gained this month alone.

I wouldn't worry too much about weight gain if your dr is ok with what you're gaining. All pregnancies affect your body, age can play a factor, but just because you're older doesn't mean for certain that  it will affect you in a negative way. Many older women have completely normal pregnancies.
