To much weight?

Prego305 · March 2014

I am 23 weeks and have gained 22 pounds, is that to much?

Consult your doctor. There are too many variables for us to give you an accurate answer.

What did your doctor say?

Here are a couple of threads that discuss weight gain. Take a look and you can see what other women are gaining.

But honestly, ask your doctor. You're pregnant, its not like you can diet or anything. Try not to stress about it. You can diet and exercise after the baby comes.

I second everyone else, this is definitely an area where you should take your cue from your doctor. The "common" range quoted is anywhere from 20-40 pounds for one baby, more for multiples.

Just like PP said consult your doc, but 22 doesn't sound like an amount to stress about. Try to relax and just check in with doc

Look at it this way, if you were a normal BMI at the beginning, and reccomended gain is up to 40 lbs....then you've gained just over half of that at just over half way through your pregnancy. Seems on track to me.

I thought this might be a letter to someone named Much Weight. Sads.

I have gained the same amount at 24 weeks. I was worried but my doc hasn't mentioned it so I'm guessing it's okay

Ditto what PPs have said. You could also have posted this in the symptom thread...just sayin'

@Joules235 Why the symptom thread? I looked briefly for a weight check in thread if it had been updated lately, but I'm not sure if even I, who loves organization and tries to avoid extraneous posting, would have put something about weight concerns in a thread about RLP, sciatic nerve issues, and heartburn.
