How Much Weight Should I Have Gained By Now At 23 Weeks Pregnant

I'm now almost 27 weeks and have only gained about 7 lbs. I didn't find out I was pregnant until I 4.5 months in though. During the first trimester, I lost 30 pounds from stress and so that has affected my overall weight gain in this pregnancy. The doctor told me that as long as the baby and I are both healthy then it is okay. Just make sure that you and your baby are healthy, that's the main concern when it comes to weight gain while pregnant.

I gained a lot of weight in my first pregnancy and got stretch marks on my sides and legs (I didn't use dermelastic serum) but my second pregnancy, I used dermelastic serum and got no new stretch marks. It could have been because I didn't gain 80 pounds like I did the first pregnancy, but either way, I didn't get any additional stretch marks… therefore I am buying this again with my third baby.

The baby at 23 weeks is only 1 lb.  Any weight gain over 13-16 lbs at this time is purely unessesary and will be even harder to lose after birth.  Eating junkfood and sweets causes this.  If you're eating whole foods which means nothing processed, it's very difficult to gain weight.  I am a RN in the ob dept, dietician, and mother of 3.  I know what I am talking about.
