weight gain

csariyan22

How much weight is typically gained during the third trimester? I know most of the gain in the last month or so is the baby... Just want to stay on track and be healthy. I'm at 23 weeks plus 4 days and have gained 13lbs so far. (I was technically overweight when i conceived, but by not even 10lbs) not sure if that matters...

Google "pregnancy weight gain week by week" and there are handy dandy calculaters that tell you the range you should be in for each week

I am 20 weeks pregnant today. Since last month I put on 6.5lb and my doctor got mad at me. He said I should be gaining LESS than 4lb a month. 15-20lb MAX TOTAL my entire pregnancy, but everyone is different!

Dont google it. Ask your doctor.

It differs from woman to women and from pregnancy to pregnancy. Try not to obsess over your weight gain or lack thereof.
If your OB isn't worried then neither should you.

I'm 22+2 weeks and I've gained 13.5lbs so far and most of it has been in my second trimester. Drs haven't said anything to me about it.I think it's because I was a little underweight when I first got pregnant so it's encouraged to gain a little bit more than the usual. I hear 25-30lbs is the norm. In some baby books it breaks everything down for you.
Just FYI my sister gained a lot of weight in her first pregnancy, but it was mainly a lot of swelling and water retention. It's easy to focus on the numbers, but as long as you're being healthy , that's all that matters
