your doctor is a douche. people gain weight differently throughout their pregnancies. it`s not just `fat` gain, it`s also water retention, and baby. you`re fine :)

Everybody gains weight differently. and it all depends on what kind of body you have. . I didn`t gain anything my first 12 weeks. .and yet I gain 7 pounds by my 16 week check up and I thought that was alot but aleast i was making up weight

They say at 5 months you should gain about a pound a week give or take.

wow what a prick!!! if anyone told me I was gaining too much I would probably punch them in the face. I`m 39 weeks, I gained like 10lbs a month for the first few months and I`ve gained a total of over 50lbs. You are fine, unless you`re living off kfc and eating lots of fast food crap you are fine! If you have a hearty appetite it`s because your body going through some crazy things, that takes energy! Just make sure you get your daily fruits and veggies!

im 15 weeks and have gained 20 lbs. i think as long as you are healthy, its ok. you are small girl also to begin with judging by your picture.

I gained 50 pounds in the first seven months. The doc never said anything to me about my weight. Now, at eight months (I`m up to a total gain of 52.5 pounds) the doc brings up my weight. I say you are gaining for the baby, as long as you are both healthy, that`s all that matters.

no, sounds about right to me... at 20/27 weeks is when I gained the most almost 25lbs in 2 mos.... I`m now 37 weeks & gone from 140lbs to 176lbs..... everyone is different tho...

I agree with Butterblocksmom everyone is different and every pregnancy is different. With my first son I gained 85lbs. It was just harder to get off. With this one I haven`t gained any weight I am 21 weeks.

This is such a gray area. I put on 22 lbs over a period of 6 weeks. I`m 26/27 weeks now and have gained 30 lbs in total. My doctor is NOT concerned. I think JUST looking at weight gain is a misnomer...are you healthy, are you in danger of creating issues for yourself (Gest Diabetes), are you eating the RIGHT foods, etc etc. I believe every woman is so different, we can`t get caught up in feeling like crap because of what we`ve gained (even though I currently feel like a whale, I`m trying to be realistic)
