I am 37 weeks and have gained 23 lbs. My doctor seems to think this is too much. I thought I was supposed to gain between 20 and 30 lbs?? I only have 3 weeks left......am I going to gain a lot or something? I could use your comments! I am feeling a little frusterated! ↓

23 lbs doesnt sound like alot unless you put it all on like in a month ... You shouldnt gain too much more with only very short time left of your pregnancy. ↑

Each Dr. is different too. Mine told me that anything over 20 pounhds is excess, but she is really tough on you with your first pregnancy. I gained 23 pounds overall too, but I lost a few pounds the last couple of weeks because I got sick at the end. You have done great, so don't worry about your weight, many women put on way more weight than that. Just think, only a few weeks to go, if that! ↑

Tell your doc to shut up lol every women and every growing baby is different and unless you gain like over 35-40lbs than I wouldnt worry. I gained 35 with my first and that was to much but my doc told me it was ok so each doc is different ↑

I gained almost 80 with my first!! Doc never said anything to me cause my BP was great and everything was going fine. With this one (over due now) I have only gained 23 and I keep losing it and putting it back on. Thank the Lord I won't have to work so hard to get this weight off cause most of it is baby and baby eewws. LoL ↑
