ive gained about 38-40lbs in this pregnancy so far lol so ya by the time i was 27 weeks i had gained 36 of those lbs lol so my Dr. made me eat better and its controled the weight gain so far so if your eating unhealthy or eating more just try cutting down Portion size if your too worried but most woman gain about 40 lbs.

If you aren't eating healthy, just eat healthier. Weight gain is to be expected, and some women gain more than others. My friend is the healthiest eater I know and she gained 63lbs, I eat healthy but I'm by no means perfect and I've gained 18 so far. It just depends on the individual.

might also be gestational diabetes which is very common you can't break down sugar while pregnant but it usually goes away. The doctor will test you soon for that anyways but if you do have it you get put on a diabetic diet to avoid having a big baby.

I've gained 70lbs!!!! I even stick to a 2500 cal. diet that my dr. put me on, some women just gain a lot. I think a lot of mine is water retension cause I've been really swollen since the beginning. Don't worry about the #...I know easier said than done!

As long as you are eating healthy, there's no reason to worry. I was 155 pre pregnancy and tomorrow I'll be 26 weeks and I've gained 20 lbs. I cant eat anything greasy either bcuz of a stomach problem. So I guess we just have some major growing babies lol. I wouldnt worry though bcuz my dr said she doesnt look at weight as long as baby is growing appropriately.

YOUVE gained to much yada yada yada.. but listen to your Maternal instincts.. pregnancy will make you gain weight.. its not suppose to be a diet contest

Well, since you cant lose weight now, just eat healthier, maybe some more protein and less carbs? also keep in mind that some women JUST gain weight!

I've far surpassed the recommended weight gain, but whatevs! I've gained nearly 50 lbs...and I have a few days left to stack on some more! It definitely sucks knowing that I have to start exercising and what not soon. I've never really had to do that before..but man, eating has never been so much fun.
