I'm 31 weeks and have gained 50lbs most in my stomach, can water really put on that much weight?

Question

I'm 31 weeks and gain about 50 lbs, I don't eat too much probably less than i should, my blood pressure was a little high my last check up and its never been before, i don't have GD why am I gaining so much weight, most people say it's water and my doctor isn't so worried but I am, what is it and what can I do about it?

Answer 1

You can't worry about it now, hun. Worry more about your baby getting all the nutrients that it needs. Make sure you are drinking a ton of water, even though I know how annoying it is to pee every five minutes. Its very important. I have eaten less being pregnant then I have before but more often and have gained 27 pounds so far. I am not worrying about what I gain as long as I know I am eating healthy and that my baby is being sufficiently fed. Worry about it after.
