have I gained too much for 34 weeks pregnant?

no not at all. you were tall and thin to begin with. and a runner. so it's okay to have gained that weight. I am also 5'8 and started out at about 135 too! I'm 39 weeks preg and at 173 lbs! I think I was at about 165 at 35 weeks too. I'm not worried about losing the weight and my doctor told me the same thing cuz I'm athletic build and active. You'll be just fine!

I started at 104lbs and I have gained almost 18lbs by 28 weeks. I am concerned but my doctor says it is okay. I understand the sugar craving. It is like part of my brain is devoted to thinking and dreaming about desserts. It is a constant struggle to not give in to the craving. Only thing I can say is fight the craving and not have desserts handy. You can give in once in a while.

About the exercise, if you can not walk, may be you would be able to use stationary bike or do yoga. I always feel very good after prenatal yoga as most of my muscles are stretched and endorphins make me happy. I go for once a week class and use a CD at home 2-3 times a week.

I don't think you have gained too much at all, you are expected to gain any where from 25-35 lbs but if you gain a little more it really doesn't matter.With my first child I was 125 pre pregnancy, when I went in to deliver I was 185 and I am only 5'2, by the time I went in for my 6 weeks check up I had lost all my weight but about five pounds which I think I needed to keep on, I think much of it was water and bloating. I am a exerciser as well trust me you will be fine.

You sound fine. I was 112 when I got pregnant and I have gained 32 pounds (I'm 35 weeks, 4 days). My doctor said that between 30 and 35 pounds is good for women who were a normal weight pre-pregnancy. Just try to eat the sweets in moderation, maybe one treat per day. Good luck!

Sweetie,It's ok .You were an active Person and I am sure you will be able to get back to your

original weight after pregnancy.It's ok for you to let go.If u want sweets why not try eating fruits ,fruit juice, sweet yogurt etc.I have a recipe for u.

I gladd cold butter milk + sugar.Beat it in a mixer and drink it.Healthy and awesome!

I don't think you're "to big" You may have a little more to work off after you have the baby. Everybody is different. With my first 3 i gained at least 50lbs with each and this time i have only gained 5.

You are fine! I was 136 at my first doctors appointmen (8weeks) and I already am 153 and only 22 weeks! Ahhh my doctors hasnt said anything about it though. You are supposed to gaine at least 30-35 total and its completly normal to go over! Just try and limit ur sweets if possible and do some sort of exercise while sitting like with rubber resistence bands!

Oh the joys of pregnancy!!

30 to 35lbs is normal. You may go over but who cares. I gained 33lbs with my first and I am 14 weeks with my second and have gained 4lbs

This is the best website I have found for that.
