Weight questions and concerns.

Ok - let me give you guys a brief overview.

I was 147 when I got pregnant. I got down to 140 within the first month  (no morning sickness).

At my last NUT appt, which was around April 24th I was around 148 or so. Back to my original pregnancy weight.

Ok so now I am weighing in at a whooping 156-158 depending on the time of day. I know some of this is water retention, however it has just all of the sudden started piling on. Almost 10 lbs in one month. This just doesn't seem right. I know I am supposed to gain weight- and this is still in the normal range, but I can't get over how fast it has happened. It is very disconcerning.

I remember reading early on in my pregnancy that someone had posted that once they hit 20 weeks they gained 10lbs quick. Has this happened to anyone else? I really am struggling with this- I feel like I am failing or something. BTW I will be 23 weeks friday.

What have your doctors recommended for weight gain?

Thanks for any input ladies. It's very appreciated.

I am very similar to you. I weighed 188 when i got pregnant, got down to 181, then as soon as I hit 20 weeks started gaining. I am 29 weeks and now weigh 196. I gain just about a pound a week which they say is a healthy weight gain.  There have been alot of posts about women losing all there baby weight and then some in the first few weeks after the baby is born. I am just hoping that I am one of them. Good luck with your pregnancy.

Sounds really similar to what happened with me. I lost about 7 pounds innitialy then by 20 weeks I had gained all that back and have gained about 25 pounds in all (not including the initial weight loss) but it seems to have slowed down a little. I am still gaining but not so fast. I think after morning sickness my body just wanted to keep all the food I gave it.
