How much weight gain in second pregnancy?

Question

This is my second baby and I feel like im putting on weight much faster than the first time. With my first I gained slowly. Is that normal for the second one? Just curious what others experienced.

Honestly dont obsess over the number, just eat well and keep your checkups regular. The gynac weighs you each visit and tells you if it is on track, no need for any fancy app or scale at home. Healthy gain matters more than an exact figure.

It is roughly similar to the first, usually around 10 to 12 kg if you started at a normal weight. Some gain a little less or more, it depends on your starting weight. Your gynac will tell you the right range for you based on your BMI.

I just had my second and gained about 11 kg, pretty close to my first time. My body felt like it knew the routine this time honestly. Doctor kept tracking it at every visit so I never had to guess.
