gaining too much weight?

I'm 22 weeks and so far I've already gained almost 20 pounds :( I don't understand why though!! I eat healthy, I only drink water and I walk 3 times a week for exercise. Is any one else dealing with this? It doesn't help that my family makes jokes about me getting fat all the time.

I was the same way. My ob said that some women gain all their weight in the beginning instead of the end. I'll be 30 weeks on fri and have but on 31lbs. That being said I've only gain 2lbs since my appt last month. So I'm definitely slowing down. As long as you and baby are healthy dont fret it. And just tell whoever makes fun where to stick it. You're pregnant and can get away with it. Lol. Good luck
