Probably...: Weight gain during pregnancy is more pronounced during the second half of the pregnancy. Recommended weight gain varies depending on your pre-pregnancy weight. Make sure that you are following with your OB for all your prenatal appointments - they will check your weight at every appointment and let you know if they have any concerns.
