I stopped looking at the scale at my appointments and put away my bathroom scale. My doctor will tell me if my weight is a concern and other than that, I'm not going to worry about it.  Although I do hope breastfeeding and light excersise help the weight "melt away" as they say.

I gained 70 pounds during my pregnancy, I was up to 175 when I gave birth. I gave birth February 20th,2015.... im not 13 weeks pregnant and only 125 pounds. As long as you eat right and exercise you'll be just fine, weight gain is normal during pregnancy!

I had a friend who also started gaining weight right away and gained alot during her pregnancy, but as soon as she started breastfeeding she lost weight super fast. She's lost 55 pounds in the 8 months after giving birth..

But I still had ten pounds from my daughter still on me when I found out that I was pregnant just remember u are gaining weight for a good reason u have a life inside of u
