My doctor said I need to start watching my eating an exercise because I've gained 17 pounds by 23…

doctors are paid to tell you that. idk anyone who gains the normal amount of weight during pregnancy. from the beginning my doctor kept telling me to not gain too much but it got old since I was eating healthy anyways, your carrying a baby idk what they expect lol. I gained 65 pounds and its been a week since I gave birth and already lost 25. you will be fine don't listen to them

It is very possible to gain within the 25-35 pounds that are to be expected during pregnancy. It really does depend on your eating habits as well as exercise. But what most people don't realize is, it also depends a lot on genetics. I've gained 15 pounds and I will be going into my 8th month of pregnancy. It took me saying no to a lot of cravings and snacking healthy but it's worth it if it means healthier baby, healthier you and smoother delivery. You can do it! 😄

some people gain alot. some dont. with my 1st I gained 19 lbs. with this one I'm 28 weeks and have gained 5 lbs. some ppl hold water more Than others too.

A lot of it is water also

I've gained almost 35 pounds and this is my first baby. My doctors have told me I'm healthy and baby boy is perfect so honestly eat what you want and gain what you want I was told the ideal weight gain was 25 pounds so you could lose the extra weight easily after baby got here.
