    Were you underweight to begin with?  is your doctor concerned?

    No I wasn't underweight before at all. I am 5'3 and I started off at 142 and now I am 170. So I have gained 28lbs.  The doctor isn't concerned at all I just am!

    I would just try to watch what you eat in terms of ridiculously fatty foods. 

    I only gained 20lbs but when I gained 9lbs in 4 wks I was really worried, but I leveled out.

    I wouldn't worry. First child I gained close to 50 pounds, and I was average weight, actually on the low end, but normal for someone with small frame.

    This time, I was ten pounds less pre-pregancy than last time and have gained one pound - 1, and I am almost 20 weeks. Last time I gained 25 pounds by like 20 weeks. It just a baby thing I guess, my diet is not that different from last time.I was very sick with hypermesis both times too

    Also this woman I worked with who was extremely athletic before and after pregnancy told me she gained 60 pounds. She never ate unhealthy, she just gained 60 pounds.

    I gained 62 with my 1st however a lot of that was towards then end and it was fluid. With my 2nd I gained about 32. I ate very unhealthy foods. My youngest is 16 months now and I am just now starting to loose it although it is taking a lot of work. Just watch what you eat. I have seen many ladies eat healthy and still gain a lot of weight though. I think it just comes naturally with pregnancy.

    I haven't gained much, but I feel like in all my labor groups I'm at the low end of the scale, most of the ladies at the same week as me have gained more. at my last appointment, 23 weeks, I'd gained 9lb. total. I worked really hard to lose 22 lb. while TTC, so I'm grateful it didn't all hop back on at once, but whatever gives me a healthy baby and good breastfeeding supply, I'm game!

    [raises hand] Me! I feel so huge. I've gained 28 lbs so far. My dr isn't concerned really, because LO is measuring fine and everything looks good. I'm on track with how much I gained with DD at this point in the pregnancy, I just gained it faster this time around cuz I wasn't as sick in the beginning.

    I lost much of the weight I gained with DD by 2 weeks post-partum so I'm telling myself I will lose this weight fast too. Here's hoping!
