I went to my Drs appointment yesterday and was told that I'm gaining "too much weight". Just wondering what everyone's gains have been.. I'm 21w4d and I've gained 14 pounds so far
Comparing your weight gain to others is essentially a waste of time, since everyone has different body types, different starting BMIs, and different factors that go into weight gain (ie severe nausea, other medical conditions such as thyroid issues, etc.) Your doctor should know what's best for you in your particular case.
I agree with Jellybelly, there's not point in comparing to others because everyone is different. But just for the record, with my first baby I had no morning sickness and a super easy pregnancy, ate good, etc. I started at 107 lbs and ended up at 130 lbs. Came to find out at week 39 that I had high amniotic fluid levels and so dropped to 120 lbs almost instantly after delivery due to all that fluid.
With this baby, I started out at 110 lbs and at my 18 week appointment I was at 116 lbs. My doctor said I was slightly under average, but due to my having been super sick the entire first half of my pregnancy and due to the fact that I'm naturally very small anyway, she wasn't concerned. I'm curious to see in 2 weeks what I've gained, b/c now that I'm feeling better my appetite has been off the charts!
