Gained 15 pounds already! Only 17 weeks...

[nostress]

Anyone else gaining like crazy? This is my second baby, third pregnancy. My second pregnancy ended prematurely in a loss about 6 weeks before I got pregnant with this one. Not sure if it could be from being pregnant right before I got pregnant with this one (body just stayed "pregnant" size) or what... I started at 153 and now I weigh 168! I am 5'5''...

I've been gaining a lot of weight too, but I just see it as vitamins and nourishment and warmth for baby! Even the foods not really classed as healthy. Apart from a few particular situations, I've heard that no woman should be on a diet during pregnancy. I don't think the weights you've given are bad at all! Not to be worried about until later at least x x x

I wouldn't worry about it unless a Dr tells you to worry. Far too much pressure put on women these days. I say concentrate on growing a healthy baby and you're just perfect

I have gained like that! I was busy gloating about how I hadn't gained any weight in the first trimester, and some time while I was doing that, I put on 18 pounds.

(I am 20 weeks)

Some women will gain more in the begining of pregnancy. I gained slowly all throughout my pregnancy, and now I pack on lbs weekly these last few weeks. I was up 16 pounds at my last appointment (last week) and have gained 2 pounds in just a week. I should end up around 25 pounds total by the end with the direction its going. Doesnt matter how much I still excersise, or cut back sweets I still gain quite a bit every week, but I didnt gain much in the begining. Its something I've noticed on here. Girls that gain fast, gain slower at the end. Girls that gain slow, gain fast at the end.

I've been gaining like that. I gained 6 lbs during the first tri and it's been (on average) a lb a week after that. At least it's a very steady gain, instead of crazy 9 lbs in a week or something like that.

I think everyone and every pregnancy is different hun, this time i've gained 10lbs by 21 weeks, i will worry about it once baby is out healthy as i lost all the weight and more last time (i gained 30lb with my little boy)

I gained tons in the first trimester but the weight stabilized well it has done now in the second trimester as I gained 20lbs by 14 weeks then it stayed the same at the last scan. Your appetite will decrease back to normal if you have eaten tons in the first trimester well mine did and my energy levels are back so instead of sleeping and constant eating I am eating normal and smaller amounts and walking again
it will get better xoxoxo 17lbs is not much
