Weight ? - Not What You Think...

V&G101808

I know I know... everyone is tired of the weight questions, but this one may be a little different.

I'm comfortable with what I've gained so far (5 lbs) but I was curious how realistic it was to really only gain 15lbs throughout an entire pregnancy?

I'm short and curvy and if you saw me on the street you'd never think I was overweight. However, thanks to these lucious curves (lol) my weight to height ratio always results in a high BMI and per BMI I am concered overweight.

The OB coordinator and the various books I've read all suggest that an 'overweight' mom-to-be should only gain about 15-20 lbs. I've never met anyone who gained this little during pregnancy. Have you?

I guess I was just curious if that number was actually realistic. I've gained 1/3 of my weight about half way through... 10lbs from here until August seems kind of low. What do you guys think?
