Have I gained enough weight?

I am 29 weeks and 6 days pregnant, tommorrow I'll be 30 weeks (i thought it was Thursday but my doc says tommorrow, idk). I went to my prenatal yesterday, and I only weigh 121! I did it without shoes and last month I was 118, the appointment was 3 weeks ago. I have been gaining steadily since about week 11 a pound a week or 4 lbs a month, and I was very tiny to start with. I was 98 lbs ebfore pregnancy and at 6 weeks I gained randomly 2 lbs then stopped gainign then at 11 weeks I kept gaining. But have I gained enough for being almost 30 weeks? I have gained total 23 lbs since I was 98 lbs before pregnancy but I just thought I gaiend more bc I feel like I have, and my ob says bc I was little before that I will gain this much. I just thought bc I was underweight I should be over-compensating. most the weight gain is in my breasts and stomach and a little in my thighs and hips. I take prenatal vitamins and eat 3 small meals a day with 3 small healthy snacks. Does this seem 2 small 2 you

You don't seem too small at all. You're saying you've gained 20lbs and you're only 30 weeks into the pregnancy. That's normal dear.
Reply:You dont really need to gain a certain amount of weight as long as you and the baby are healthy :) Im 21 weeks and have only gained about 5 pounds. Goodluck!
Reply:no worries dude, i'm 31 wks and i only have gained 25 lbs...it happens! my mom only gained 25 lbs in her whole pregnancy and i came out healthy!
Reply:I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I haven't even gained 10 pounds yet. Unless your doctor is concerned, I wouldn't be. Some woman gain more than others, just be happy you won't have much weight to lose after you have your baby. My mother in law told me she gained 100 pounds when she was pregnant with my husband. As long as you're eating healthy and the doctor still thinks your baby is healthy, then don't worry about it.
Reply:It's perfect, you will have no problem losing the baby weight and you'll probably have a small baby. I gained 22 lbs and my baby was 5lb 7oz and healthy healthy. You're doing great, keep up the good work.
Reply:Sweety, you are perfectly fine. I am currently 34 weeks and I have only gained 12 pounds. I eat healthy, take my pre-natal pills okay and the occasional junk food :) I am now going to my OB/GYN every 2 weeks and everything is going well so far. So don't worry so much and just enjoy your baby!
