wow - I was up to 17 pounds at 28 weeks and the doctor was like you know you have 3 more months to go so be careful. I am not a big person either so I was surprised she said that. The first doctor I saw said they wanted me to gain at least 30 pounds and now this new doctor is saying lets try to stay under 30... So confusing. I gained just about 30 pounds with my son that all but about 5 pounds came off within the first 6 weeks, so I am not to worried.
Blue eyed - dont worry about the weight gain i lost 5lbs in a week then gained 3 then 2 the following. I fluctuate at the moment between 9 stone 13lbs and 10stone 2 lbs. I think it depends on water retention.
Im 29 weeks and have gained 23lbs so far. Im not really worried as its all bump x
I am 30 weeks and have gained 5 lbs so far...
with both my other pregnancies, I gained 38lbs in total. (38lbs each pregnancy) so needless to say I'm freakin stoked that I haven't gained a ton of weight this time! :):)
i had an appointment yesterday an i have now put on 10kg which is 22 pounds lol and i am at 25 weeks and 6 days.
the doctor wasnt concerned but that's alot of weight if you ask me!
New update.... I just got back from seeing the general surgeon today and I have lost another 2 lbs!! WTF?? I dont know what the deal is:( Im 25.6 weeks today and my last appointment was one week ago. I have a total of 5 lbs now:( I hope my baby is getting some weight in there........
LOL I'm 26.2 weeks now and up 16 lbs....but still not shabby with twins
At 24 weeks I had gained 14 pounds. (My dr said that is normal) I'm 27 weeks now and it looks like according to my scale I've gained about 6 pounds in the past 3 weeks! My good friend is due in July 2008 and she said she had one month where her weight spiked real high and then it went back to 2-4 pounds the month after that. She didn't change any eating habits, I guess she just retained more of it that month. Hopefully that will be the case for me. With my first son, I gained a total of 44 pounds...mostly belly, but it didn't come off like I thought it would. What scares me is that I really packed it on in the end of my first pregnancy so I know there is much more weight to be gained.
thanks, funny how with my first 2 kids I never had a problem gainiing weight. Heck I put on 15 lbs in the first trimester!! So im happy with gaining a pound a weeks:)
that's not to shabby congrats
So I just had my appointment today and I have gained 6 lbs in 6 weeks!! Im up to 7 lbs total now!!!!! Im 24.5 weeks today:)
14 lbs is good I actually think I'm not gaining as much as I should with twins.....but my babies are healthy so I can't as for much more.
I am 24.3wks and at my last appt I was up 14lbs and I think that's good
ok well I got the official count from my OB last night as I've gained a total of 13lbs now.....and I'm 24.6 weeks......but he said that was ok cause 4lbs of that is the babies plus about 4lbs a piece of water weight so that makes 12 lbs meaning I've gained 1 lb to much LOL.....oh well
I'm 27w1d and have gained 15 total, dr kinda got on to me for gaining 9 in one month..
I am 24 weeks 4 days and have gained 21 lbs. Pre pregnancy i was 117 lbs and im now 138 lbs!! Eeeek!! (8 stone 5 to 9 stone 13!!)
Im not too worried as im still in my pre-pregnancy jeans and its all gone to bump. Im having a little girl and am carrying what resembles a football really low on my front.
Ive been diagnosed with PSD so am banned from doing exercise until shes born so im guessing im gonna balloon hehe
i am 25 weeks 3 days..and i have gained 25 pounds:-(
My doctor told me not to worry.. bc i was small to begin with. she thinks i will have gained 45-50 total. I have only been gaining 3-5 pounds per visit..so i guess if i go over that im going to worry!
Before i was preggo i ran and worked out alot! since being preggo..i have stopped. that may be a reason too. these past couple of weeks i have started to walk after dinner and i think i may join a yoga class for pregnant woman.
Today was my 24 week appointment and I have gained 7 pounds total now.
Since my last appointment 5 weeks ago( I forgot I didnt make my next appointment, UGH!) I have only gained one pound/ I took my grandmother to the doctors on Tues and used the scale they have there and I have put on another 3 lbs....so 4 lbs for me so far. I am 24 weeks today. With my last 2 pregnancys I put on over 15 lbs each just in the first trimester!! My next appointment is next Tuesday so we'll see but I think I might be up to at least 5lbs:) Its a good thing I put on 25lbs before I got pregnant this time around...the baby has a lot of fat to feed from, lol!!!
I think 10-20 lbs is normal for a singleton I think I'm actually under gaining for twins....so don't feel bad BizBiz
i am 24 weeks on thursday and i have gained 8kg which is like 17 pounds.
I actually asked my OB for the first time at my last appointment how much I'd gained. It was last week (22w4d) and I had gained 10 pounds. He was happy with that and so was I until I read all your posts - your having twins and I'm only a few pounds behind you!!??
awe well sounds like we are pretty close in weight all of us
Pre pregger 108, 5'4", 24+ week now and gained 20lb. Gained 28 with my first. Ugh, 16 more weeks to go.
