you're doing just fine. don't let anyone get you down. you're pregnant. you *have* to gain weight. you just have to. period. who gives a crap what anyone else thinks. this is for your baby, not for anyone else. you've only gained 9lbs in 2 months.

i've 37wks & i have gained over 40lbs, & i do not look like a blimp.

pregnancy = weight gain. it's going to happen whether you want it to or not. i'm not trying to sound rude or anything, but it really is something that you're just going to have to accept.

as long as you're eating the right foods, you'll be fine.

lol, you know what i mean, .sandy. if she's so concerned about gaining too much weight, then maybe she should take extra caution of what she's putting in her mouth, ya know? as long as you don't stuff your face with fast food every single day & just drink tons of soda & crap like that..

I'm 22 weeks and my ob told me friday I've gained nine pounds since my first appointment with him ( I was about 12 weeks) , he said I must be eating good! I almost cried.
I'm not dumb. I know I WILL gain weight I know I have to I just don't want to turn into a blimp and use pregnancy as my excuse.
People are already calling me fat. Which wouldnt bother me If I hadnt of been an overweight child and worked my ass off to be skinny. I had a nice bod before pregnancy and now I just feel dowdy and plump.
And honestly! do people have to call me fat? can't they say you look preggo? I've gotten some meat around the hips and bum but its my belly that stands out. I'm not trying to be negative, Im very excited for the baby, it's just I'm getting this feeling lately that nothing fits good, my skin is drained and icky, my hair is dull and my body is out the window. I just wanna feel pretty and "glow" for one day!

How much weight did you guys put on during your pregnancy , and is 9 pounds since dec.20 bad? (up until then I didnt have any weight gain)

i gained 20 lbs by 20 weeks pregnant. i am now skinnier than i was before i got pregnant. i weigh 110.
i never had any issues with gaining weight while pregnant, in fact i tried my hardest to gain weight. my doctor said it would be extremely dangerous for the baby if i gained under 20 lbs during my pregnangcy. i ended up gaining 45. im glad i did because my baby comes first.

Maybe you should have thought of the weight gain before you got pregnant.

It comes with the pregancy and if you want a healthy child then you will need to eat. the doctor said you are doing just fine and crying over nine lbs that is probably mostly baby, placenta and fluids is just wrong.

damn she was just asking what was normal she is not crying over her weight gain she was crying cause the dr said she must be eating good. well that the way i read it. she knows she will have to gain weight and is fine with it. we all have got to that point when we were pregnant and thought we looked horrible. give the girl a break

why would someone cry because the doctor told them they were eating good? wouldnt it be because of her weight? you make no sense.

well most everyone else read it the other way. sorry love. i wast' really trying to be mean, but it's a well known fact that people gain weight during pregnancy. and nine lbs isnt' that much. she should be happy that she hasnt' gained like 30. nine lbs is great

i just hate it when people get upset that they are/will gain weight. but whatever... Rolling Eyes

To the original poster.. I think you're doing just fine. I wouldn't worry too much about your weight gain. Like the other girls said, your baby is worth it! I gained about 35 lbs while I was pregnant.
