Weight gain...is it normal?

[Lovemyprincess4eva]

I am 26 weeks with my first DD and in total I have put on 8lbs but when I read books or other people's posts that doesn't seem to be a lot.
I was overweight to start with and had a BMI of 33.
Is this normal or should I be concerned? X

That's fine as long as you are eating healthily. If you had a high BMI to start with, you should be aiming for no more than 1 to 1.5 stone through the whole pregnancy :)

Thanks rockchick. I wasn't sure. Didn't think it would be a big issue not putting loads on but wasn't sure if I needed a certain amount for the baby x
