This will be my second child. My first I went from 120 to 205. 85 pounds!! I am 20 weeks pregnant and have already gained 40 pounds. I dont know what to do I am so frustrated. I dont eat bad. I eat much better than I did before I was pregnant and even have been working out. I drink tons of water and barely ever eat any junk food. I feel like I am the only one this happens to. I keep getting people that say stuff like, "dont worry you wont gain 90 pounds! Thats impossible!" which its not figuring I have before. And, "well just balance your diet..." which it is. Is anyone else having the same kind of issue?? My blood pressure is fine and when I ask my doctor she keeps telling me to eat better and exercise more. I think she thinks I am lying and eating whatever I want. ARRGGHH!!

Oh yikes! I've gained a bunch of weight so far and this is my second too. Don't they usually a__sociate excessive weight gain with gestational diabetes or sudden with preeclampsia? I'm sorry your doctor is being like that, it's so frustrating when you have no control over what your body is doing:(

I thought your metabolism was supposed to speed up in pregnancy? Maybe you should get your thyroid checked out to see if your levels are normal. So far I am almost 19 weeks and gained about 12 pounds and the doctors said even that was on the higher end.
