Weight Gain??

I am 22 weeks and went for a checkup yesterday and the dr. is concerned about my weight gain.. I was sooo upset I have been eating really good or so i thought.. Just curious if anyone else has gone through this?

If you are eating healthy and doing your best to exercise, I wouldn't worry too much. I gained way more than the recommended weight and the only time my OB said something was when it was in a week period at the end (which I was starting to show signs of toxemia)

I exercised A LOT while preggo and recovered quite well! I also had a relatively easy birth!

yup, i have been eating good 95% of the time and I still packed it on (or so it feels like) I am 30 weeks and I have gained 35 lbs already!! I had one doctor tell me to 'keep an eye on it' and I felt much better next time I went back cause it was only 3lbs instead of 10lbs between visits. Just do what you can to make yourself feel good. The dr is only concerned for you & babys well being as there are risks with gaining too much weight.
