30 pounds @ 30 weeks

is that normal? I feel like I'm gaining too much. I just feel like everyone I know gains so much less in their pregnancys. Every month I go in I gain like 8 pounds.

I feel like all I have to do is eat a strawberry to gain a pound.

Ps. All this weight is only in my stomach also.

    Same! I am 28 1/2 weeks and have gained 25-30 lbs. Everyone keeps telling me I am so lucky I am only gaining in my belly. I did ask my doctor about my weight gain the last time I was in. He said it was at the top end of the scale for a healthy amount. He recommended that I cut out juice (I already don't drink pop) and stick to water.

    Did your doctor give you a target amount to stay within?  30 pounds might be within the range of normal for some ladies at this point and for others, it might be way too much or less.  For me, my doc said 25-35 total, and I definitely wanted to keep a buffer towards the end with extra water weight.

    I'm at about 27-28 lbs at 28 weeks, so pretty much the same here. It varies for everyone based in part on how much you weighed before and any other health concerns. I gained a little over 40 with my daughter but was underweight starting each pregnancy, so my doctor isn't concerned. If you are unsure, I'd ask your doctor.

    Normal is different for everyone. I would ask your doctor if you are concerned.
