A woman's metabolism changes during pregnancy, and not all weight gain is baby or fat a lot it could be water weight too. But weight gain shouldn't affect your ability to have a vaginal birth. If the doctor is not concerned by your gain then medically you have no reason to be concerned. The question will just be your comfort/confidence after birth, and there is no way of know how easy/difficult it will be to get back to what you personally want to be at. I've gained 25 pounds and am only 24&5 but I don't feel bigger all over so if I stay like that after birth it won't bug me I'm still confident I can be attractive

I retained A LOT of water with my first. Maybe a lot of your weight is water weight.

I weighed 134 in the beginning and I'm 29 weeks tomorrow and have gained 32 pounds already. My old doctor said to slow down. My new doctor also said to slow down but then my last appointment a week ago he told me my weight and the baby's weight is good! I could have better eating habits but I overall eat healthy so I'm suprised too it just keeps going up and up!

well so far everything has been great. i passed my glucose test, my blood pressure is always fine, the baby is measuring & doing good. so nothing is wrong im just confused as to why i gain so much when i eat healthy and exercise. ofcourse i slip every now and then and eat junk food but its only once in a while.

I guess only reason you might need a c section were to be if there were something medically wrong.
