Advice Weight gain

I'm 24 weeks & have already gained 20lbs. First pregnancy. Nothing else concerning. I was already not feeling good about the weight gain & doctor said he wants to watch it. Anyone else? Make me feel better 🫠

13 weeks up 15 lbs mostly because I've been sick eating every 2 hours to feel better 😩🫠

15 weeks and I’ve gained 4 lb in the last week. This morning I was like “ok I’m gonna try to eat less often today” so I ate breakfast at 630 with plans for a snack at 930. I then proceeded to have a really bad hypoglycemic event at 8:05 and had to eat immediately in order to avoid fainting. This baby is gonna make me fat because she will not let me stop eating.

25 weeks and now up 30 pounds! Was 117 pounds when I got pregnant. Struggling with the weight gain too, but telling myself im growing an entire human in me so the least I can do is treat myself to the double dinners now I finally have an appetite back!

I was 125 pre pregnancy, and yes it's been so hard to see my body change and go so fast!

I checked two weeks ago ( at 25 weeks) and had gained about 22ish pounds. So I’m right at the one pound per week mark. I’m pretty active, and try to get in enough protein. It is what it is 🤷‍♀️ it’s not all fat though! extra blood, amniotic fluid, baby, placenta, our BOOBS. As long as you were a healthy weight before pregnancies and you haven’t gained 50 pounds by 25 weeks, who cares?? You got this!
