Answer 1

First, there are some really rude answers here. What dumb asses. Secondly, none of us are your Doc, we don't know your height, your body frame, your age or what child this is, 1st, 2nd, 3rd? I must tell you my 3rd and last child I was 132 lbs and delivered weighing 188 lbs. My doctor never said a word to me about it and I wore my biggest jeans home from the hospital 3 days after the delivery. They were 11/12's and within 6 weeks I was into my 9/10's, so don't worry. Raising children has a way of keeping us trim if we are active parents and have no history of obesity. You are becoming a mother. We have it all wrong in our culture, mothers, or parents, are the most attractive people on the planet.

Answer 2

It all depends on the person, some people gain more then others. There's nothing wrong with how much weight you gained. I've seen women gain a lot more then you have.

You will just have to be extra diligent after the baby comes to eat right and work out. Don't start any excersise routine until after your six week appointment though. You can cause more problems starting too early. Also, don't diet!! If you are breastfeeding, it could cut down on production and not give your baby the nutrients it needs.

I would suggest reading "what to expect when your expecting". It gives a wonderful pregnancy diet that you can start now and just continue with while you are breastfeeding. It even breaks down how many calories you will need to loose weight, but keep your milk supply up.

Don't worry about this weight thing. If there ever was a time that it's fine for women to put on weight, it's now.

Answer 3

First of all, the ideal weight to gain is 35 pounds during a pregnancy and a little over that is not bad. Also, in the last 5 weeks the baby will gain 1 pound a week. If you are healthy and in good shape, then the doctor is not worried about it because you will still be strong enough to push the baby out when it comes. Take it easy and good luck.

Answer 4

If he hasn't said anything about your weight, then it shouldn't be too much. He knows what is best for you. If you were that concerned, you should have asked before now. I know that they tell you your weight with every visit, and you should be having weekly appointments at this point, so you can't say you haven't had time or haven't noticed the weight gain. Most people I know gained 30-50 pounds while pregnant. I gained 53 myself, and lost it all and then some after I had my son. Maybe you were underweight to begin with? The baby as well as the uterus and embryotic sac aren't exactly feather weight ya know! :) I'm curious, how do you "know" that you have gained too much?

Answer 5

I was 110 before my first child and right before delivery I was 175 and my doctor never said anything either. I was underweight before so I guess I just made up for it. Plus I had toxemia which made me swell bad. If it makes you feel better within a few weeks I was back down to 125 and looked great.

Answer 6

Some doctors are just not as good as others. If you are concerned that it's too much weight (and it does sound like it is), please ask him to suggest a diet and exercise routine.

Doctors are not gods. They make mistakes, and some are just plain lazy and/or ignorant. Never be afraid to question your doctor. If he gets offended, find a new doctor. Mine tells me to go to the web and do my own research on top of what he's told me to make sure I really understand what is going on. He welcomes questions because it makes him more comfortable.

Answer 7

You under no circumstances watched a rock megastar and flavo a falve, on t.v, the place they have been one replace right into a rock megastar and the different replace right into a rap megastar and that that they had 20 or extra women persons stay of their domicile and eradicated one each and each week till it got here to the final 2, then they picked out the only that they concept replace into for them, nicely this basically is going to assert that any musician that has to have countless women persons at as quickly as to establish what's the excellent one for them isn't all that particular of what they choose, even however in user-friendly terms 2 have been left. on your case you extra clever think of what's nice for you and what is going to make you happy and picture much less of him with the aid of fact he has already shown you which you're no longer the huge sort one precedence in his life, and because he nonetheless contacts different women persons once you're in his life ought to tell you some thing, awaken and scent the espresso, with the aid of fact if no longer sooner or later you would be unhappy. sturdy success on your determination.

Answer 8

I was told by my doctor that a healthy weight to gain is 30 pnds throu the whole preganacy

Answer 9

I agree that the doctor should be monitoring it but you should be too. If you think it is too much why don't you ask him if it is a dangerous amount of gain and get his advice on how to reduce it.

Answer 10

What? Do you want the Dr. to come right out and say to a 9 month pregnant woman, "Damn girl, getting lil to much chunky there, I suggest you slow down on the Twinkies and ho Ho's" Well no he's not going to tell you that. lol...... you'd black his eye. When you have the baby your hormones will go back to normal! lol
