A member asked:

When in the pregnancy do you start gaining weight?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Varies : Women will gain weight at different rates and pregnancy. It depends on your diet, exercise, and nutritional intake. Don't focus on the pounds. Focus on eating a healthy diet. You only need about 300 cal more per day in the third trimester.
