Questions & Answers

With my daughter (who will be 1 next week) I gained 46 lbs total. With this one I am 22 weeks and have only gained 12 lbs. Just keep exercising and eating healthy, drink water.

that does sound a little excessive at your stage, but best to check with your midwife who can assess your personal situation as oppose to going by what we think is an "average" weight gain at each stage.

i know how you feel ive gained 28 pounds so far im 30 weeks Wednesday i try to eat as healthy as possible , and just like you i have been feeling a little more hunger. cant wait to diet after pregnancy

The only reason i said hereditory is because everything else about my pregnancy is the exact same as my mum.

I do excercise quite regularly and always have as ive not really had any problems with being tired either.

i will speak to my midwife when i next see her and let her suggest something other than eat healthy and excercise which i already do lol!

33 pounds sounds like a little much I was a about you're size prepregnancy and I have only gained about 15 pounds at 22 weeks pregnant . But everyones body is different and handles pregnancy differently, so what other people gain and what you gain doesnt really say anything about whether you have gained to much or whether what you have gained is what you're body needs to gain to support pregnancy. You may be retaining water which could add more to you're weight. bring it up with you're doctor at you're next visit and until then try to just watch what you eat. Have a well balanced diet and limit any sugary snacks maybe try to find healthy alternatives if you're craving something sweet. Also might try walking. If you're retaining water sweating a little bit may help get rid of some of it. I have never heard of weight gain being hereditary during pregnancy but that would be something to ask you're doctor about
