Answer
How much hve you gained so far during the pregnancy? It is recommended that you gain 30 pounds for the entire pregnancy and we also recommend that you gain 4lbs each visit. If you are gaining too much weight, discuss it with your obstetrician and you can probably get a consultation with a dietitian  Once you deliver the bavby, you can start an exercise program and diet so that you get back to your normal weight. Don't worry.
