For those of you who haven't gained too much weight?

My goal was to gain 25 lbs, 30 lbs tops..
I have a pregnancy weigh gain chart, and I'm already a little over what i should be at 20 weeks.

Plus, i walk 45 minutes -Monday through Friday.

For those of you who haven't gained that much, do you eat extra healthy? Have you increased your calorie intake significantly? I'm just curious....Cause its not easy!

I don't plan on starving my baby, but i would like to keep the gain to a minimal amount if possible...If not, it will take me forever to lose later on.

Re: For those of you who haven't gained too much weight?

I haven't reall eaten junk food, not for any other reaso than I just don't want it which is so strange because usually I had a big sweet tooth. As of my 12week appt I hadn't gained anything and now at almost 15 weeks I got on the scale at home and it still says no weight gain. I have been eating a lot too so I don't know what's going on. I think it's just starting to move from other parts of my body forward to my belly!
The dr. didn't seem worried about it though and at the u/s at 12w the baby was measuring almost a week ahead so I'm good for now. Plus I'm very short & small to begin with so they don't want me to gain too much to begin with.

I am 24 weeks and at my last visit I only gained 4 lbs. I was very sick for 17 weeks though. I barfed morning noon and night and lost 7 lbs. I really did not have 7lbs to lose, I am pretty thin. But I do make an effort to not eat to many snacks and drink alot of water. But I in no way would say I eat healthy. I just do not eat alot.

I definitly didn't eat as much with #2 as I did with #1 and I walked 3-4 days a week with #1 and each walk was about 2 miles until I was 37 weeks. I also only drank water the second time around. I still ate what I wanted but for one not two like I did the first time (the first time I gained a total of 45lbs and the second was 20).

Re: For those of you who haven't gained too much weight?

I have not been eating healthy at all (raw fruits and veggies actually give me really bad pains in my stomach) and I've only gained 11lbs my entire pregnancy. I'm 37w3d and I just can't eat the way I could before getting pg. Plus I was heavy before I got pg and everything I've seen is the more you weigh pre pregnancy the less you should gain. For me it was recommended that I gain about 15-20 lbs so my dr hasn't been worried that I gained so little.
