i gained 8 pounds in 4 weeks my doctor said it should be 4 pounds every month im 27 weeks

Hi Ash! I just had my 14 week 3 day OB Appt. and I had gained 5 lbs in 4 weeks...the nurse said that was just fine. All women seem to put the weight on differently. Some gain a lot very quickly then don't gain much from there, some gain consistently, then some don't gain until right at the end. As long as your Dr. isn't worried, then you shouldn't worry either. It is so liberating for me to be able to gain weight at all, because when your pregnant there doesn't seem to be nearly as much pressure on you to stay "thin". Ahhh, I know it is just the culture we live in...
