Everyone's weight gain progress

[kris123]

Ok, I posted on Sunday and didn't get much of a response - My girl GN posted because she has gained as much as me.  My question is how much has everyone gained or did gain when they were preggers?  I'm 21w and gained 27pounds.

[twiceadopt]

almost 36 weeks, gained nothing... just now back at pre-pregnancy weight (lost 15 in first trimester, very slow to gain back).

[maryann86]

I started at 128. I'm 35 weeks and now I weigh 160. So I guess I'm doing alright although I hate to get on the scale now.

Hi, I am about 23 weeks pregnant, and have gained 1 lbs, on a diabetic diet though, and I started at 185, with my first I gained 50!!  

[kbrownhh]

I am a little past 19 weeks and have gained about 7 lbs.  I try to watch what I eat and workout, which I think has helped a bit, but I have been putting the weight on a little more recently.

With my first pregnancy I gained a total of 26 lbs.  I started this pregnancy at the same weight as my first, but with much more flab than before I had kids!

[laura99]

I am 18 weeks and I have gained 14 pounds. With my first pregnancy I gained 3 and a half stone in total! I was only 8st before, though (I am 5ft4). I lost it all very easily.

I will be 28 weeks on Friday and I have gained 30lbs.  I am sure it is more now because that was last week!  :) UGH!!!! I think I answered your question the other day-I can't remember.  

[kris123]

I gained 8pounds in four weeks.  I've been working out too, but not really watching what I eat.  I'm starting this week to watch what I eat, even though I drank about a half a gallon of milk last night :-)  So Crazy

[Wooly25]

31 weeks and have gained 25 lbs, but haven't watched what I ate until, this last week because i know how gestational diabities.

[Mozartcowgirl]

I am 34 weeks... i strated out at 102 pounds.. i now weigh about 135.... i seem to be in a holding pattern .. as I have not gained any more weight..

[newbie2b]

20 lbs as of last vist as of my 25th week. I'm 28 weeks and have an appointment this on thursday.  Lets see what happens...

[pookie1121]

I am in the 21st week (20w5d to be exact) and I have gained almost 13 lbs.

[kris123]

Ok now I feel like a cow!!  I keep thinking it is my thyroid because I do have hypothyroid but my endo. dr. said it was fine even though my TSH is rising.  I think I am going to a new dr to make sure my thyroid is ok.  I take 100mcg of Levoxel(sp).  The baby weighted 13oz as of last week at 20w.  I don't jog anymore and I started walking uphill for 30min, could I have gained some muscule?  Or am I making excuses :-)  27pound and 21week - I only gained 25 with my daughter.  I did gain 60 with my son.  I'm having a boy, so maybe it is like last time, but damn 60pounds is a lot.

[low22]

I'll be 20w on Friday and I've gained about 8-9 pounds (started at 128 and now I'm 136-137).

Kris, you seem really distraught about this topic but I think you're OK.  If the doctor says you're fine, you're fine.  It's scary to see the weight come on but you'll take it off -- you seem to be in really good shape!  And breastfeed...screw the benefits to the baby...I want to lose the weight fast!!!!  [j/k, j/k...I'm all about breastfeeding for the baby too :)]

[newbie2b]

How much did you weigh before you got pregnant? If you dont mind me asking?

[kris123]

Oh, yes I plan to breastfeed, mostly to get the damn weight off and for the baby.  I am a litte obsessed with weight gain.  I have maintained my weight since high school.  I was big in middle school and teased and as an adult never let myself get to far gone :-)  I started of at 137 and now 164

[kris123]

I was 137 and I'm about 5'5'

[newbie2b]

I bet it's just because you were thin to start with.  I was 162 but your height. I wasnt big but, I wasnt small either.  About a size 12.  Usually I hear that the smaller you are, the more weight you gain.  The bigger you are, the less you are suppose to gain.  Plus your dr. said you were fine.  And you've been careful. I wouldn't worry to much to be honest.  A friend of mine was your weight and went up to 200 when she was pregnant.

[wishingforjust1]

I started off at 98 pounds and I now weigh 144!  I had a doctors appt yesterday (28 week appt) and he never said anything about my weight gain.  He told me early on that I may gain more weight than normal because 1) I was underweight when I got pregnant,2) I have a very small body frame that would get stretched and pulled to new dimensions (great!!) and 3) My mother and sister both gained over 50 pounds with their children.  So unless your doctor is harping on you about your weight I would not let it stress you.    

[Want1more]

I am 28 weeks, have only only gained 14 pounds since conceiving. I am thin to begin with, I weighed 113lbs before.

[Mony0283]

yeha all i am 38 weeks and i gained 20 lbs which is good-less for me to lose-i plan to breastfeed so maybe i will look even better after i have my baby(:

[cantwait4baby]

I am 28 weeks and have gained over 35lbs.  I am huge. :( but all is healthy so I will take it.

[mgi]

i am 23 weeks and have gained 30 pounds and HATE IT

I am trying to stop the madness - i am very distrought over it

[Elicam]

I am at 35 weeks and have gained 28lbs, been put on adiet though,as my doctor says that is way to much. I orignally weighed 168 (i'm 5ft7"), So slightly overweight to begin with.

Am feeling too hungry though, can't stop eating and have only started getting cravings now, is that weird?

[njrohe]

You all need to count your blessings.  I am 30 weeks and have gained 50 POUNDS!  from 125 to 175 at my last appointment.  

[Annice1234]

I am 23 weeks, and at my visit last week I found out I gained 6 lbs in a month.  However, that just brought me back up to my preprego weight becuase I lost 7 lbs in the first trimester. So that's a total weight gain so far of zero.  The Dr. thinks I will have another big weight gain next month though.  We will see...

[vannessa]

I'm 24 weeks and gained a total of 5 pounds since the very first day of my pregnancy. I'm worried that I should weight more.. :(

[nursemaria77]

I am 21w3 days and have gained about 10-12 pounds

[mommyjules2be]

Holy ****! Is there something wrong with me?!! This is my first pregnancy, Im 19, I started at 125, Im now just over 20 weeks, and I now weigh almost 155.  I have a big belly for being only 20 weeks but I havent really gained any weight anywhere else! Actually in the past week I gained 5 pounds! I am eating healthy, if anything not eating the true "3 meals a day" that I should be just due to school and work and not having time.  What the heck??

[mommyjules2be]

That was totally not a swear word....FYI :)

[Jamie12269]

Im 32.4 weeks and have gained 15 pounds the whole pregnancy. I have to admit this last trimester has been a complete write off with my diet. I watched what i ate throughout the first and second trimester. Hardly any cravings. Now i just have to eat sweet cakes and ice cream.. creamy pastas.. soft drinks. Terrible i know.

[hopiedoe724]

I am 28wks pregnant and gained 30lbs I weighed 152 to start and now weigh 182 is this bad. I am 5'11'' so I dont know if this could be good doc says I should be around 28 pounds that you go by the weeks but I gained 10lbs in the last month. Clearly scared! I just want it to be easy to come off of.
