weight gain

How much weight are you initially suppose to gain during pregnancy? My starting weight bfore pregnancy was 130lbs. The nutrition lady informed me that I was already overweight & I need to slow down on eating. I'm barley 31weeks. Can anyone help?

I'm 36w3d and so far gained 44 pounds. I was 198 before I got pregnant. Before i even got pregnant I weighted more and was doing a lot of work out and lost a lot. My Dr hasn't told me nothing about my weight, but i know I'm over weight. Can't wait to have my baby to lose all this weight. I feel fat:/

I was underweight before I got pregnant with my daughter and I gained 60lbs! My nutritionist wasn't happy but my Dr was not concerned. Being 31 Weeks I wouldn't worry much as,long as Dr isn't bothered by how much you gain.
