You're 3 pounds over the suggested weight gain range. That's hardly cause for concern. Unless your doctor is worried about it (this would be a great question for them since we don't know your personal health history and aren't doctors) don't worry about it. It sounds like you eat well and exercise often. Stay off the scale and just enjoy your pregnancy.thetarkknight said:Hi everyone,
I've gained 15 pounds and I'm on the 21st week of the pregnancy. I keep reading that at this point I should have only gained 10-12 pounds, and that I should only be gaining 1-1.5 pounds a week. I was 112lb pre-pregnancy and am an avid runner. I had to cut down my running a lot the first trimester due to morning sickness but am now running 25-30 miles a week for the last 2-3 weeks. Should I be worried about the weight gain? I also hear that I shouldn't go on a diet but now I'm not so sure. I don't eat badly, just when I'm hungry and not a lot of junk food. Help! And thank you ladies!
