I just got back from the Dr. I am 19 weeks, and i have already gained 25 lbs. I started at 115, now 140, my Dr. told me its getting excesive and i need to slow way down. All the moms that i know (not very many) tell me im doing good, that it is fine to gain this much. Is anybody else experiancing "excesive weight gain" or have any ideas on how im supposed to slow it down? ↓

Is this your 1st child? How tall are you? When I was pregnant with my 1st child, I was 125lbs 5'7" at start and weight 175lbs by time she was born. I couldn't help the weight gain but I did have high blood pressure and water gain due to the BP by time I was 7 months. The doctor told me the same thing to slow down. I am now 12 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and have not gained any weight yet. I am eating 6 small meals a day, alot more veggies/fruit and eating more healthy this time around. (I craved McDonalds with my 1st pregnancy :) ) I also don't eat after 7pm at night and drink alot of water. I would just recommend watch what you eat more closely and enjoy your baby! I hated the extra weight with my 1st child but it was so worth it in the end and I got back down to 135lbs after she was born. Good luck! ↑

I am currently 29 weeks and 6 days, This is my first pregnancy and I have gained a total of 34 lbs. I started out as 132 lbs and now am I think 175 lbs. It might have changed since my last visit though. The doctors are concerned as well as am I but the funny thing is I do not look like I gained anything nor do I have any problems. I cannot explain that and neither can the doctors. I feel fine, can move alright, no problems, healthy blood pressure and everything eles. I think it went mostly to my boobs but that is just me. Since I started out as a 40D and now am at a 52D. Do you know how hard it is to find bras? I have resorted to bra extenders. lol My mother-in-law told me to starve myself because the baby can get all that it needs by now. Meaning I have to eat smaller and I mean smaller meals. As of yet the doctors have not told me anything to do about this so well I guess I am alright and I think you will be too. ↑
