Hi, I'm 17wks along now with my 1st. My BMI was 32 to start with so my weight gain target from OB for the entire pregnancy is just 14lbs. I've gain 7 already ☹️☹️
Freaking out a bit now and during an appointment last week doc sorta warned me to watch it better.. anyone else going through a similar situation? Any experience, tips and thoughts are welcome !

    hey I was 33 BMI when I got pregnant 20 weeks ago. Ive been making an effort to stick to a number of calories each day- ensuring I get my nutrients in but Im not watching macros so much. I think the trick is is not to go too far over your calories, but dont be restrictive either. So far a 3lb gain and thats just come in the past 2 weeks.

    My pre-pregnancy BMI was 35. I’m currently 24 week and up 6 lbs. :)
