How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy?

I am 7 months pregnant with my 2nd child. I am worried that I am gaining too much weight. My Dr. hasn't said much since I am still only going once a month. Should I really be worried? Besides eating less and staying away from sweets and junk food, is there any more I can do?

you shouldn't deprive yourself from food cuz the baby needs that, just try and avoid junk and fill up on healthy things like fruits and veggies. when i was pregnant i gained 25 lbs, but most of that was at the end

I only gained 18 pounds (8 kilos) with my daughter and I lost it almost right away. I walked a minimum of 20-30min a day. I was also ate a lot of fresh fruit and veggies, really small pieces of pineapple and strawberries made a good substitute for popcorn during movies.I didn't really cut out junk food if I was craving it but I did limit it to smaller portions for the most part. if you look online there is tons of info on how much you should increase you food intake also if you talk to your doctor or local clinic they will be able to provide you wiht more information.

I gained around 20kilograms in both of my pregnancies. Not really sure of what you can do to minimise weight gain other than eating healthy and maintaining some exercise. Remember that everyone gains weight differently during pregnancy!
