Am I gaining too much weight?

in 2nd Trimester
I had my 6 month appt today and i had gained 8 pounds in 4 weeks. I started out at 115-120 and I am now 143. I do have thyroid issues and take medication for it, do I need to lose weight? I don't eat much at all but the weight is still coming, I don't see the fat on my body just the big belly. Is this normal?

    What did your doctor say at your appointment today?

    Im the same I've put on about 20 lbs but can't really tell were at though.....I'm also about 6 months. Im 5"6-7 and weigh 160 I started at 140. I work out regularly and eat healthy and gaining weight like CRAZY somewhere some how.... I have a friend who was the same gained 40 lbs at the end but lost it and was back to normal within 6 weeks after delivery.... But neither of us have thyroids....my doctor said not to worry but I still get scared about not loosing the weight after. Make healthy eating choices and keep as active as possible is all my doctor could say....

    If your doctor isn't concerned about your weight gain, you shouldn't be either. Some women gain the most weight in 2nd trimester while others spread it out more.

    She told me it was "significant" is all, I did do my sugar test so I think she was concerned it could be diabetes. I'm only 5'3 and I know I haven't gained too much, I struggled with an eating disorder in the past and I'm a young mom, so the anxiety just makes it worse and my DR said the baby could be too big, I just don't want to hurt my baby is all.

    Just try worry about what you have control over, which is eating healthy and staying active. Doing that gives your baby the best advantage at being healthy. Some babies are born big and it's not an issue, so try not to fret.
