Weight Gain
I'm 23 weeks and I have gained 9 lbs total during my pregnancy. My doctor told me that that is way too much to have gained already but everyone I talk to tells me that it's normal. Now I'm constantly worried about eating and exercising. I had lost around 5 lbs at the beginning of my pregnancy. I'm a FTM and I'm just not sure what I should feel/believe.

It honestly depends on your pre-pregnancy weight on whether or not they will be more strict on weight gain. I gained 6lbs between my 20 week appointment and my 24week appointment but my doctor was pleased with it. I would honestly discuss weight gain with your doctor and find out what they expect from you and why. It will help you understand and feel better about what they are saying hopefully. Every doctor is different though so this doctor could just be an A-hole in general.

I'm 23 weeks as well and I've gained 20 pounds . My doctor says it's totally normal.

They usually say 5 to 15lbs is normal before the third trimester.

I'm 23 weeks and I've gain 14 pounds so far. My doctor was fine with my weight even though I gained 7 pounds in one month. And I'm only 5'1"

Im 25 weeks and i eat healthy and exercise and had a BMI of 21 before pregnancy and iv gained 10lbs. My last pregnancy i had already gained 20lbs at this point so every pregnancy is different and every body is different. Try not to stress and just enjoy your pregnancy

Depends on your pre pregnancy weight.. I lost 12 pounds and have only gained 5 of it back and my doctor is telling me she wants me to gain the full 12 back buuuuutttt I don't want to hah if you are on the skinnier side then 9 pounds sounds fine but if you are on the heavier side then it could be different.
