gained 1st 3lbs by 24 weeks - too much?

Doc this morning thought so but I feel fine.... What do you think? Want to keep healthy, obviously, and they've said bub is measuring large.

What was your BMI pre pregnancy? If you were in the "normal" range then this is about right - ideal is no weight gain before 12 weeks then 1lb a week after that so you've gained 17lb in 12 weeks so not too far off. If you were overweight to start with you would be advised to try and eat healthier to slow your weight gain down.

DISCLAIMER I gained a ridiculous amount of weight in first pregnancy and consider myself very lucky not to have got any complications due to it, so have done a lot of research this time into what is "normal" weight gain and how to control it.

My pre preg bmi was 20. At 25 weeks I think I have gained a tiny bit more than you. I am eating healthily and actually gone off sweet things - don't worry
