worried about lack of exercise :/

I feel like I'm gaining so much weight I'm almost 35 weeks and have gained 45 pounds. but ive only eaten a bowl of cereal today and it says i gained 2 pounds since yesterday. something doesnt seem right. I'm not over eating but i dont get much exercise as well. i live in tx so its really hot and were having a really bad outbreak of west nile virus so I'm really scared to go ouyside. But that shouldnt be a reason why I'm gaining so much weight something doesn't sound right

Everyone says I'm all baby.  Like I don't look fat or big anywhere but my belly so hopefully it is all just baby related.  I live in arlington and were having the biggest outbreak of west nile so I'm soo scared to go outside.

I have the same thing happenning...sometimes it isbecause I weight myself at different times,  and obviously I weight more after eating...sometimes my body takes longer to digest the food...with my first I gained 40 lb and lost it all pretty fast, this time I gained 26lb and I'm 38 weeks...I wouldn't worry about it...the weight will come off!

Yea i wouldn't be so worried about it if my dr wasn't rude about my weight every visit.  He almost made me cry. And before I got pregnant I was already obsessive about my weight but I think it's crazy how in just 1 day my scale is saying I gained 2-3 pounds. Idk I could just be freaking myself out but it seems impossible

Relax. Plenty of that weight is what baby needs. Your just fine :) remember too we retain water. Cheer up. A healthy baby is most important!

I'm 32 weeks and I have gained 41lbs. Some of it could just be water weight. If its water weight you will loose it super fast after the baby is born. My Dr keeps complaining I have gained too much but then tells me it could be water weight of I am eating pretty healthy.
