Water weight and your blood volume has increased. Try drinking electrolyte water like Smart Water. It will keep you from swelling up. You can also drink coconut water and it does the same thing. Also...I gained almost all of my weight in my first pregnancy during the last trimester. I gained 25lbs total. It was mostly water and after only two days I was down 12 lbs. So don't fret. You will pee like crazy after giving birth getting rid of all that extra water! Believe me! If you really are eating well and at least walking...you shouldn't be gaining any large amount of fat.
With my first i was puffy bc of water weight and i lost 30lbs in 2 Weeks if your worried about weight gain just breast feed and youll drop weight.like crazy
Definitely, i am thinking of tossing my scale... Lol! It makes me depressed to see the numbers rising so much! I'm glad to think that it is only water weight and that it will be gone quickly, i was just so worried!
Yep lol its water weight :)...I've heard it drops quickly after having baby so that's something to look foward to.
I noticed swelling in my feet as well, hopefully that is all it is. I started to worry quite a lot. I also eat about two small meals a day, maybe even less.. I figured the weight gain would decrease or even that i would drop a few lbs. Thanks for responding!
Could be water weight....I've gained 3 pounds in 5 days and I honestly eat small meals twice a day because I just feel so sick or not hungry...I'm in my 3rd trimester as well
