I'm 20 weeks and have lost 25 pounds. I wasn't too heavy to start with but still considered over weight blahhhh w.e. I eat when I'm hungry and don't when I'm not. I eat more whole grains & more fresh foods and prepare most everything from scratch. Since doing this I've just lost weight because it was a lifestyle change that I needed BEFORE I was pregnant & didn't realize how much better I wOuld feel just eating healthier. I still eat out when I REALLY want something but oh well. My doctor says I'm doing great and baby is healthy so no matter how much you gain as long as baby is healthy TO HELL with what anybody else thinks. Good luck lady
I was 120 prepregnancy and now Im 35weeks and i weigh 172. I have gained a ton. I think it went to my boobs and butt though lol. My doc isn't concerned about my weight gain.
Each doc is so different. Im reading everyone elses comments and thinking today I went to my doc and have lost 10 then gained it all back +10. So im only 10 over my prepregnancy weight. My doc told me told to slow it down because I still have a while to go...im 26 weeks. My prepregnancy weight was 147
I was just grumbling to my fiancé about this issue. I was 153 before I got pregnant & I'm 33 weeks now weighing 195 :((( at one of my appointments a month ago I gained 9 pounds in 2 weeks!!! I'm so depressed. I've gained about 40 pounds and I still have 6-7 weeks left where you're supposed to gain the most weight. My doctor didn't say anything about my weight until maybe a month ago. That frustrated me. He didn't say anything and so I thought it was okay or whatever and then boom all of a sudden it's a problem. I thought I was doing ok and then suddenly I'm getting too fat. So yeah your doctor might not say anything at the moment but then all of a sudden he will and you'll be blindsided like I was. I say if you're not super unhealthy or gaining like 80 pounds your okay but I know it's not good for your baby either :( and the bigger you get, the bigger baby will get. I just feel so hopeless and fat!!! My fiancé keeps telling me I'm pregnant it's normal but I feel like I have no control over my weight. I try to eat less and eat healthier but i still get bigger. The scale keeps going up!!!
Thanks ladies well I was 130 but then 3 months before I got prego I went up to 145 Cuz my bf makes me eat..lol but I don't act like I eat for two I eat normal n I don't go out to eat as much sumtimes... I just might have to cut the bad stuff out want to b healthy my bf loves me no matter wat..but I always had weight issues Cuz I was 200 at one point if my life n then with a year of work I went down to 125...But my doctor didn't even say nothing I just happen to ask him. Bout my weight n he's like how much have u gained n that's wen he's jus like cut down rice bread ..carbs...
I'm in the same boat. I'm 27 weeks and I've gained 30 pounds already. I wasn't under weight before. I weighed about 165. My doctor hasn't said anything about it. But I feel like I've gained way too much.
Hun if your doctor isn't concerned then you shouldn't be . And don't listen to anyone eles !
Depending on youe starting weight in your pregnancy that could be too much too fast. If you were under weight, than that's normal. Idk what your weight was but you're not supposed to eat for two. Youre supposed to eat like you did before you got pregnant. BBut if your concerned, you should do several SMALL meals a day. And healthy ones at that. Good luck.
I'm worried about gaining weight too. I'm 21 weeks and have gained 17lbs so far. I think it'sfrom eating more tbh. What kind of foods do you eat in a day? I find it's the starch food I want the most.
