You only gained a little. Its not even much. Im 23weeks today and have only gained 7lbs so far. Im thinking that I might not gain enough and my baby will be too small. The doctor says Im doing good though.

uhhh yeah that is nothing to worry about. i am 22 weeks and have gained 40 lbs, but i dont care... i`ll just lose it afterwards.

You definately havent gained too much, in my first pregnancy i had already gained 20 lbs by the time i was 5 1/2 months along(too much) ended up in a total of 50 lbs at end of pregnancy and only 8 lbs of it was baby, this time around im 23 weeks and have only gained 12 lbs (just right) hoping to only have gained 20 to 25 by the end which is perfect. Just eat healthy, don`t feed for 2, like eat extra (that will make you put on the weight) i had to learn the hard way, just eat healthier about 3 or 4 hundred calories than you would normally intake and vitamins. plenty of water. you are doing fine dont worry about your weight gain too much.

Go to the weight gain forum and input your prepreg. height and weight and it will tell you how much you should gain each month.

I don`t think that during pregnancy is the time to be freaking out about your weight. I would agree with watching it and eating healthy but you have to expect to gain weight, there is a baby inside you!

A pound a week is average. With my son Noah I gained almost 60lbs and lost 40 in 3 months. (I found out I was prego again when he was only 3 months). I`m almost 26 weeks now, and I`ve gained 22lbs. I`m hoping not to gain anymore then 40lbs with this one.

I agree with samanthaandbaby ~ nothing to worry about ~ I was 12 lbs up by 12 weeks, lol. I gained 57 with my first, 38ish with my 2nd and 39ish with my 3rd. You are just fine, if anything less then most gain IMO by this point ~

I`ve gained 25 lbs at 27 weeks, and my doctor thinks that is perfectly fine! Its not good to stress too much about your weight.

maury (97.2 days ago)
I agree with the others, 12lbs at 27+ weeks is awesome!! In one of my books it says I should have gained 10-12 lbs by now and I`m only in week 17.

cherrybeth (97.2 days ago)
I don`t think you should worry about that!! 12lbs at the point you are at is not bad at all...One thing to remember is the weight comes off fast if you breastfeed! I lost all my weight with my 1st with in just a couple of weeks. I think you will be just fine! Try not to stress about weight it`s the only time in our lives we can relaxe about it lol...My friend gained 65lbs with her first and lost it all. Please dont worry! Good luck!
