You need to gain when your pregnant. If your concerned on how much your doctor would be able to help you with that. Also eat when you are hungry. Don't force yourself to eat (unless you haven't eaten all day) and only eat until you are full. You will naturally eat more with an increased appetite due to baby.

I started at 121 lb. I quickly gained weight between 9 and 20 weeks, then slowed down till about 30 weeks and the weight gain has been quickly gained again since. At 35 weeks I am now up 25 lbs. At this rate I'll be 10 more lbs in 5 weeks, but my doctor has been okay with all my weight gain or lack of weight gain so far this pregnancy! Talk to your doctor. Every pregnancy is different and you can gain weight at different parts of the pregnancy. So you can't compare EXACTLY to each person.

I was overweight before being pregnant and weighed 200lbs, at 22 weeks i have luckily only gained 9lb as i have been eating healthily and watching my weight gain as i know overweight women should try and stay within a smaller weight gain limit than a normal pregnancy.

I was 140 and gained a good 9 lbs in the first trimester, I know I have since gained more but I don't want to check! I just have an insane appetite, not just due to being pregnant. I also quit smoking 10 weeks ago!

Don't worry too much about weight gain though, they say if you have a BMI of about 23 then you should gain up to 6lbs in the first trimester, but that is a textbook amount. Everyone is different!

If you are concerned talk to you Midwife of GP

I was 113 when I got pregnant and I'm 158 now at 39 weeks. I ate very well and did yoga, walked...I just packed on the pounds ( especially in the bum and legs).
