You need to exercise and drink water.. fight your cravings. if you continue to gain weight like you are, by birth you will have gained 80 lbs. Walk and increase your water intake. This is my second child and I'm 24 weeks and I've only gained 1 lb. Don't give in to the cravings, eat healthy.

I don't think all of it is fat that I've gained, I've gained a lot in my chest. I think that's majority of my weight. I've been drinking more water, and it just started getting nice where I live so I can start walking and exercising. I've been eating fruits and veggies too. Lots of them. @countrymamaof2

I'm 23 weeks I've gained 6 pounds of course I want sweets, burgers, and ice cream all the time lol but I only give in once in awhile I eat a lot of chicken and fish not alot of bread and I usually only have water. I can't work out cuz im on bedrest:( so I make myself eat as healthy as I can so I don't to big lol

I gained 25lbs with my first but gained 20 more PP 🙈 hormonal problems 💔 anyway I'm not sure if it's normal. From what I see in the post most ladies seem to gain a lot and some not so much. All of our bodies react differently. You know what you're eating and what you're feeding your baby. As long as you're getting proper balanced meals I don't see how it could be bad for baby. Are your doctors concerned? I'm sure if they were you would know by now. Only thing to think about is losing all that afterwards can be very hard. It was for me. I still had 20lbs to go now lol Obviously now being pregnant is not the time to start dieting but we can still make better choices for ourselves and our baby. It's ok to give in to a craving now and then. All in moderation. Best of luck!

My doctors aren't concerned in the slightest. Im just not comfortable with the weight gain. It bothers me. I've always been so little. About 135-140. A lot of it is chest. I've always been extremely busty. @jenidoll

Well then that's a good problem to have haha and if your doctors aren't concerned it's probably fine.
