Did I gain too much or too little weight so far?

Or just enough?

Before/early pregnancy I was 115. I am 5'3.

Now, I am 27 weeks and weigh 127. Looking online for a chart to determine if its too little or too much, being that the doctor told me weeks ago Im a little "behind" in my weight gaining. Cant find anything helpful and I want actual numbers.. not BMI

Everyone is different. I am 37 weeks and just gained my first 2 lbs last appointment. My OB is not worried at all and so I'm not either. Baby is growing and is doing great! Everyone is different there is no "right" amount to gain. Talk to you dr about it,

As long as your baby is growing fine, I don't think your weight is a huge concern. I have only gained 17lbs at 29 weeks, and I actually have not gained anything since 24 weeks. But baby is now measuring 2 weeks ahead (he was measuring 1 week a
