Question Regarding Weight

[Mrsjackson0406]

Hi ladies, I would like to know how much weight gain is recommended during the first and second trimester? Also, how many pounds are you expected to gain during your third trimester? I am currently 25+5 and I had my doctors appointment yesterday and she stated I have gained a total of 15 pounds. She said that was good since she only want me to gain 10 more pounds for the remainder of the pregnancy. I am curious on how much you are suppose to gain to kind of determining if I will gain the recommended weight or maybe a little more. I know my babies health is the most important thing. I have changed my eating habits because I gained 10 pounds in 4 weeks, luckily I did not gain any extra weight during yesterday's visit.

I lost 23 pounds my first and second trimester because I could never keep anything down. But so far I've gained 13 pounds back all since the end of my second trimester til now and I'm 31 weeks so I have 8 weeks left. I assume I'll gain another 5-10 pounds and I'll be back at my pre pregnancy weight! So I guess 30 pounds all together which is normal.

Pre pregnancy i was 126 pounds. At my first apt at 7w i droped down to 119. I figured it was just due to morning sickness. The morning sickness went away at 10w. At my 11w apt i was at 123 pounds. Had my apt today at 15w and im down to 121 :/ doctor just kept repeating gain weight gain weight gain weight. Now im worried and kinda stressed out. :/ i eat way more than i normally would and still no weight gain.

I was considered a little overweight prior to getting pregnant based on the BMI. My BMI was at a 27.

I know right!!
It's crazy

Ok. I noticed I gained the bulk of my weight during my second trimester so hopefully I only gain the 10 pounds during my last one. It is really hard trying to control your weight during pregnancy.

I have gained 21 pounds in my pregnancy so far at 28 weeks

All this weight was gained in second trimester, now I'm in my third i hope i gain only 10 lbs lol

Since I was a little over weight at the start of my pregnancy, my doctor said she only wanted me to gain 25lbs total.  I am 37w now and have reached the 25, so I think I'll probably end up closer to 30lbs by the end.  I have consistently gained 1-1.5lbs a week since my second trimester.

The second trimester is when you pick up the most weight, so it's not unheard to hit a growth spurt and pack some on quickly. In the first trimester, you should gain 1-5 lbs. In the second trimester, a pound per week is recommended. If your doctor is happy, then everything is good.
