I went to my OB appt yesterday and that is my weight gain so far!  I just can't believe that. I don't think I look like I have gained 32 lbs. Now I feel like a big 'ole chub

Don't worry about it. You look wonderful. You don't look like a chub what so ever! I gained about 45 lbs all together and I'm back to "normal" 6 months later.

I gained 40+ with Curtis. It was crazy haha. I didn't work to get it off though. I'm sure you will bounce back no problem since you were already having such an awesome routine.

I agree, you look fantastic! But I also know how hard it is to see the numbers on the scale and not feel affected. Don't try to lose or stop gaining weight, I promise it will all work itsef out in the end. I can never remember if I gained 60 or 65 pounds with Lily, but either way it was a lot. I was young and healthy (as are you!!) so it all dropped off fast.

Try not to worry about it, you look wonderful!!! I gained 44 pounds with Liam and he was 3 weeks early! I would have lost it all but I got pregnant again when he was 10 1/2 months old so I only lost about half of it before I started putting it back on. Plus I had my wedding dress fitting 2 months after he was born and was told I could not lose anymore weight before my wedding or my dress wouldn't fit. Ironically I only gained 14 pounds with Lochlann and even that was a struggle. Just goes to show every pregnancy is different!

I think you look amazing!! I know it's hard to gain, though. I'm already having the same issues, and I know it's from years of dieting and fearing the scale... Yay for being a chick.

I know it shouldn't bother me so much, it is just crazy how much I have gained. Hearing about others that gained a lot helps a ton though! IRL everyone I come in contact with gained 20 max, which is less then reassuring.

I wouldnt worry sweetie. My bestfriend is due June 3, and has already gained 40lbs! I think it all depends on the person, and as long as your doc is worried then I dont think you should be either!
And you look amazing sweetie!! Just gorgeous!

They're probably lying sweetie! You do look fabulous and you should definitely just keep doing what you're doing and not worry about the numbers - worry about how you are feeling and if that baby boy is healthy! I think you're one of the hottest preggo moms around right now!

You don't look at ALL like you have put on 32lbs---you look perfect! My SIL put on 20lbs by week 13--now she is telling her weight.

You look perfect, girl! Besides, you had lost like twenty pounds with all the crazy stuff you had to do while TTC, so look at it this way... you've only gained 12 and you're ahead of the game!  Besides, you're all baby... you look wonderful! Weren't you underweight to start with?

You look perfect and not "chubby" at all! I gained 50 and have lost all but about 5lbs of it (which I actually want to keep). Enjoy the curves, I PROMISE you will miss your preggo body after you have the baby!
