moms the word - 1239 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) With my first baby, I gained 55 pounds. I have not gained any weight with this baby whatsoever. I have lost 23 pounds and my baby is healthy and fine. Don't worry about it. Some people gain alot and some don't. Just eat healthy, drink your water and take your vitamins and all should be fine.

Mrs.M.H. - 1239 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Don't worry about it my best friend only gained 22 lbs for her whole pregnancy and had a perfectly cute girl that weighed 7.9lbs and I gained 56lbs with my girl seven years ago had a cute girl that was 7.6lbs so really it shouldn't worry you. Everyone is different if you were loosing weight through out your pregnancy I would be worried but a few ponds off here and there not a biggy.

amygirl22 - 1239 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm 32 weeks. I weigh less now than what I did before I got pregnant. I lost 15 lbs then only gained 6 back so far.

BBno3 - 1239 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have yet to gain any weight (I'm 33.5 weeks) and since the baby is growing and I'm eating & taking my vitamins the doctor isn't worried at all.

mommy2beoct10 - 1239 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I havent gained as much weight as Im suppose to. By now Im suppose to have gained 27lbs I think. Ihave only gained 22lbs. Which seems to be fine. My boy is on the big side =). So I am not worried about it. I dont think you should be either.
