I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant. I have gained almost 20 pounds according to the scale. But the only parts on my body that are getting bigger is my breasts and belly. Everything else hasn't even changed a centimeter. I'm worried about how I have gained this much weight in such a small amount of time. I'm active around the house. I don't know whether the extra weight is muscle or water weight. I would understand the weight gain if I saw other body parts getting bigger. I'm wearing the same size maternity clothes as a month and a half ago but I've gained 10 pounds since then. Please advice me.
Thanks,
Kacie

What does your Physician say? If it's all water weight it could be dangerous.

If it has been a steady increase, it is usually not too much of a concern. You will go through spurts where you may gain a bit faster and then level off.

Sudden weight gain is something more they would look into, but since it is your breasts and belly it sounds like that is just where you are carrying the weight.

Some women will noticablly put it on all over, others will be all out in front, and some will spread it around so it looks as though they have hardly gained much at all.

Stay active, eat well, try to get adequate rest. If your doctor or midwife become concerned at all, they will do some testing.
