Pregnancy Weight Gain

[DebbieNIU]

I think weight gain varies weekly or at least it did for me. It often depends on fluid holding and whatnot. I wouldn't worry too terribly much. Definitely don't diet. Enjoy yourself now while you can.

Well first off everyone is different..but when I was pregnant my doc told me she wanted me to gain only 20-25 lbs. I weighed 120 before prego then I gained 45 lbs. Not once did my doc yell at me. She just made sure I did not have any swelling, etc. My friend is pregnant now and she told me her doc basically yelled at her for gaining too much weight already being 7mo and gaining 23 lbs. (which she has no other probs so idk why doc got mad?) I suppose its just each doc personal preference sorta? To me as long as there is no other health issues feel free to eat and gain weight as long as you dont mind it :)

Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I guess maybe he just doesn't want me to have any health problems towards the end or even after the baby comes. I went out yesterday and bought a ton of fruits and veggies. I haven't been eating badly, but maybe if I keep a closer eye and eater much healthier it would be better for both the baby and myself. Once the weather gets nice I hope to start walking, but for now I am going to wait - not going to risk slipping on ice like my niece did last week!
If I still am gaining weight eating super healthy and working out , then at least he cant blame me LOL
