How much weight did you gain?

I'm 30 weeks, weighed myself this morning and I've gained almost 25lb this pregnancy. The midwife says it's a bit much and I've read 25lb is what I should be gaining throughout the whole pregnancy and I still have 10 weeks to go.

I dont even think I'm eating that differently to pre pregnancy although I'm obviously exercising a bit less.

Can anyone share how much they had gained by this point/in total, should I be worried?

That’s really not a brag by the way. I don’t mean to be That Arsehole Poster.

I’m really a bit horrified by how much I’ve lost just by being healthier in food and drink choices…

Normal BMI and gained 20kg/3 stones

At 26weeks my midwife told me to watch my diet as the weight gain was a bit much and she feared i would suffer later in pregnancy.

For me, the worst in terms of weight gain was the last 2/3weeks (delivered at 41w2)

For my next pregnancy i will make an effort not to put too much too early as it is very uncomfortable towards the end.
And although i lost 10kg by the time i left the hospital and a further 4 during the first 8 weeks pp, i am left with fat all over! I dont really care much now but i know i will need to exercise to lose it.

Dont overthink it though. The most important thing is to eat healthy and feel good.
