How much weight is safe to gain during pregnancy

I’m 22 weeks pregnant and have put on weight quickly: ten pounds.

My mother had gestational diabetes and I’m concerned this might happen to me too.

>>Congratulations on your pregnancy. Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy when the body is not able to make enough insulin. This raises the blood-sugar level higher than normal. This usually resolves after delivery. Gestational diabetes occurs in 2-5% of pregnancies.
