Weight gain ?

mbss

Doc says my weight gain is normal but I was concerned today. I gained hardly anything my first 16 weeks and today, at my 20 week appoint, poof!  In the grand scheme of things it wasn't all that much but I was shocked to see how quickly it came on from weeks 16-20. Anyone experience this (and hopefully have it slow a bit after that!)

I gained 2 lbs the past 2 weeks (so between 15 and 17 roughly). My doctor was happy though since I had been losing weight previously.

My doctor told me 16-24w is the biggest time for weight gain.

My 20 week appt was exactly when I had gained a lot . . . I was really nervous, but my doc said that's the time some people gain quickly.  I hadn't gained much before, and haven't been gaining as much since - it was just a growth spurt.  But I totally understand - it freaked me out, too.  But don't worry, it'll even itself out!

Your weight gain will most likely pick up from this point forward. Between 16 to 20, I gained 4lbs, 20-24 another 4. You are supposed to gain more the further you go. That is healthy.

I hear ya - I had gained 1 lb total at my 14 wk appt then 7 lb between 14 to 18 wks and now 6 more between 18 and 22 wks.  I am somewhat bothered (to say the least), though the dr isn't.  I am hoping that it slows down in the very near future.  Please let it slow down!
