I know I shouldn't worry but I'm just curious....

How much weight have you gained?
I'm 6 months weighed 105 before I knew I was pregnant now I'm at 130. Feel like that's alot but I know I shouldn't worry. Whats the average weight gain? I'm 5'1.

I've heard that average is between 15 and 35. The less you weigh before, the more you can gain during. But I don't know many women who actually gain in that range. Most people are above. I'm 34+4 and have gained about 20. Weighed about 175 before

Everyone is completely different.  As long as your Drs are not worried I wouldn't be.  I was about 185 when I found out I was pregnant;  within my first trimester I lost 10 pounds (exspensive morning sockness) and I'm now 6 days from my due date and weigh 207.

I'm 5'4 & I weigh 200lbs. I've gained 43. It's extreme, but the doc hasnt mentioned anything about my weight. & I passed my glucose test. Ugh I cringe when I get on the scale. I'm 33 weeks, so I'm sure it'll get worse.
