The only way you could gain that much
weight - even while pregnant - is by
consuming a lot of calories. Has your
doctor said anything about this weight
gain? 32 lbs in 2 months is not healthy
for you or the baby. You should slow down
your caloric intake. You don't need much
more calories per day than you did before
- only 300. It takes 3500 calories to make
a pound.
The optimum weight gain during pregnancy
is 20-30 lbs. You've already gained over
that amount. Talk to your doctor about a
healthy 'diet' (I hate saying that since
you are pregnant) for you.

As Ingi said, 32 lbs in two months is
quite a lot of weight to gain. Talk to
your doctor about what you can do.
I found a pregnancy BMI calculator which
tells you how much you should gain for
your height and weight.

do you mean drugs or the soda? if its
drugs then this could be normal. Ok I did
meth for 3 years and I was about 95 pounds
and I am 5'4"
Of course I looked scary but I was doing
dope. Well I gained about 25 pounds in a
couple of months, like 2 months to be
exact when I finally quit. Then I
continued to gain weight steadily until I
hit about 140. Which is a healthy weight
for my height right now. SO maybe this is
happening to you? See for me I started
when I was 15 so I never got to fully
develop until I was about 19 when I
stopped. Now my body has had time to
mature and now this is what my body is
supposed to be. I dont know, but the drugs
certainly played a part in my situation.

Dont forget how underweight you were,
being anerexic and 100 lbs. A lot of times
woman dont get pregnant until they reach a
healthy weight. If you were 120 at
christmas then thats only 12 lbs over 2
months but added to your previous 20 lbs
seems like a lot. I think this initial
weight was just to make up for how
underweight you were. Good for you! Stay
Healthy for you and the baby. Everything
you put in your body goes to the baby.
Dont stress the weight gain will probably
slow down now that your at a healthier
weight. shoudl be about 3lbs a month until
liek 30 weeks then its liek a lb a week.
But I ranged from 3lbs a month once I even
gained 9lbs in one month! But not in the
begining. Good luck and Congratulations!
