I'm 25 weeks & have gained 18 pounds. Is that bad? My doctor didn't make it feel like it was a great thing. Has anyone else struggled with weight gain even while pregnant? I'm not meaning to sound selfish in any way, but I tend to judge my self off my weight a lot and anymore I would rather stay away from mirrors or camera's because of how round my face is, etc. HELP.
Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't have any diseases, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, i don't have a bad heart, lungs, or anything else. So I'm healthy I'm just over weight. So then we argued about him having an issue with my weight.. Am i wrong in this? Because it really hurt my feelings.. I've tried sooo many different things to lose weight but having hypothyroidism makes you gain/hard to lose. And my medications for depression and anxiety cause you to gain also.. So it's very hard to lose weight.. But i didn't even know he had an issue with my weight until last night..
Weight Gain What week are you and how much weight have you gained so far?
I am only on my 2nd trimester and I gained so much weight! 😭 Can you mommas tell me what’s like a normal weight gain to be expected, please.
weight gain I'm up 26lb at 30 weeks. Honestly, super proud of that. I gained 70lb with my son. 10 weeks left to keep it going.
I'm 12 weeks and my doctor said I should have gained 10 pounds by now and I've gained 1. Anyone else have problems with gaining weight in the beginning?

Thanks ladies! Definitely helps! It is hard to watch the scale go up but I know it's all for this healthy little boy who I struggled to conceive so whatever, he's worth every pound!

At my last appointment (28 weeks), I had only gained 13 lbs and my doctor wanted me to gain more and I was like "really? I've eaten more than an elephant would."

My doctor made me feel terrible about it. I just said, I haven't done anything differently. Which is true. I ended up losing 4 pounds this last month, and my doctor seemed thrilled. I mean, I wasn't trying to gain or lose any weight. If I'm hungry, I eat. I didn't worry too much about it because she said my little one is perfectly healthy.

@motheroftwojk,

That's what happened with me, I had only gained 12 so far & jumped up by 6 pounds this month & they acted like it was a crime. Made me feel very discouraged. @jessicasharp @notheroftwojk I have no condition, I was at the weight suggested for my height when I got pregnant & thought the same that it was normal fairly good as I know many others who have gained much more by 25 weeks.

I've gained 22lbs and I'm almost 23 weeks. My doctor isn't concerned but, wic made me feel horrible about it so I called my doctor and she said don't be worried you're doing fine! I judge myself really harshly with my weight as well and stay away from pictures or anything anymore too :/

I gained over 40 pounds while I was pregnant! Everyone is different. As long as you and baby are healthy don't worry about the weight gain (:

My doctor got super upset with me for gaining 6 pounds in one month. I mean, it happens. I've only gained 12 pounds total, but that's because I lost some weight as well. I haven't changed anything except trying to get outside and walk more. I've known women who've gained 30+ pounds and their babies were perfectly healthy.

that's a normal weight gain .... smh unless you have a serious medical condition where it will be harmful for you to gain, I don't think anything is wrong with the gain

No that's not bad. I'm up 45 lbs at 32 weeks and my Drs are not concerned. Everyone gains differently during pregnancy.
