scared to see my weight today.. I can't stop eating!!!

[melimeli]

Did this happen to any of you all in the end?  I am 34w4d and really I can't stop night eating... during the day I am ok... but at night I want like 6 glasses of milk with graham crackers.. haha... I mean I am eating like a good 700 calories at night... ahhhhhh I know I have gained a ton this past 2 weeks... I can't wait until I am done so I can stop this train and try to loose some of the 30lbs I have gained!!!

[chickymama]

I'm 18 weeks 2 days and up 9lbs. I'm trying to control myself now while I can (thank goodness those reese peanut butter eggs are gone) I gained 42lbs with DD and most of that was in the last 20 weeks. I'm gonna try to keep it under 30lbs this time I know good luck with that huh??

[Tennesseegirl]

girl.. Im at 48lb now... and the sad part is... Im eating so much more now.. one sandwitch? no... two... my dh laughed when we went thru the drive thur at mcdonalds!! He is 6 4 and weighs 250? and I eat as much as him now.
Its funny... I would have to force myself to have milkshakes...just to be able to keep weight on.. always been underweight..god forbid I get the flu.. then I would really loose the lbs. I weigh 153 lbs now.
I had a friend visit yesterday.. and you know old friends... she didnt say anything about the weight?.. with them. thats worse.. because... you just know what there thinking. This was the second time I saw here while pregnant.. hey.... Its all good.. I just hate these viens in my legs...

[melimeli]

[jifnif]

Your Baby's Development at 35w
Date updated: February 20, 2008
Content provided by KidsHealth
Your baby already weighs about 5 pounds, 5 ounces (2,400 grams), but this week begins your baby's most rapid period of weight gain -- about 8 to 12 ounces (226 to 340 grams) each week! Fat is being deposited all over your baby's body, especially around the shoulders.

see... we get more weight... smile.. Just thought you would be interested. Now I know why my OB laughed and  told me a few months ago to slow down... ikes... oh well.. I guess I will have another 50-60lb weight gain with this one to. I lost it really quick with the first one.. but with that being 16years ago?... who know?

[tahariel]

Since I have to get on that doctor scale tomorrow, I went to the gym tonight and spent 16 minutes on the elliptical. I was hoping to do 20. Worst part is that the ellipticals are in the front row. I was a bit embarrassed to give the entire room such a nice view of my huge rear end. Then, I went into the free weights room for cool down and 3 buff college-age guys were all standing and chatting near where I wanted to lift the little 8 pound weights. So glad it's completely obvious I'm very pregnant so there is a reason for all the junk in my trunk. (35w2d)

[melimeli]

Ok I gained 4 lbs in two week.. at the last appointment that was a 3 weeker I didn´t gain any so I guess I am making up for lost time haha... well I was wearing heavier clothes this time haha.. justify maybe a lb there... so anyway I am now up 32 or 33 lbs...   ok... I will try not to eat as much next appointment 2 weeks away...

Wow!! I'm in big trouble. I gained 12 pounds in my first trimester. I swore I would find something that would make me feel better. I didn't but I did gain weight. At my last dr. appt. I gained another 1 1/2 # and the nurse said that was good in comparison to how much I had been gaining. I am 15 wks 4 days and feel like a cow, now. Oh well, this is my last baby and I probably won't lose every ounce I gained like I did when I was younger but then again maybe I will.

Ummm, I will check back in a few months and see if I still feel the same way, lol! I try to get out of my rocker/recliner now and its a joke! I have this belly in the way and its only going to get bigger too. I'm scre-wed!!

[Tennesseegirl]

If I can just get rid of that damn peanut butter !!!! and I bought another Jar Saturday!!! I think thats whats getting me... heck.. I eat it by the spoon now, and thats worse then with bread.. atleast the bread will help fill you up.

I have gained half of my body weight.. befor I was pregnant.. I told dd now for her to think about that the next time she ask me to Iron for her.. smile ... she is famous for asking me to iron for her at the last min.. befor school!!

[pcarsey]

I do I do Ashley's mom.. that's precisely why I'm getting the enema!! Hopefully it will flush away the fat that's lodged in there... ahahaha

[AshleysMom]

Does anyone else have a square butt?  

I swear my butt was my only decent body part (well, natural that is) that is somewhat defying gravity.  Now it is a big square mess.  Not really fat, just big, flat and square.  

Now I know for sure I won't get that enema!  They'd probably need a special square tube or something.

[momof32b]

Whew!  I thought it was just me.  My dr yesterday gave me grief about gaining 8lbs in a month.  Thing is...I didn't think I had gained any!  I've been good at night and not snacking.  Guess the bagel and cream cheese AND the donuts I had for breakfast caught up w/ me in a big way!  Dang-it!

[melimeli]

tennessee.. haha... yea my face is getting big!!  OMG I was touching my chin and yep there are two haha...  

oh my mom got me a jogging stroller sun for my birthday.. it is a cool one that has speakers for your ipod!  I hope to put that to good use with Parissa.

[Tennesseegirl]

mel...
I have read.. this is where we are really going to put the weight on.. and omg.. I see it already.. My fricken calves have doubled form my regular size.. I was wondering if it was swelling?? heck.. there as big as my thighs!!

patty... carrots are not filling!!! I need something to get me full !!! loll...like with rice in it.. smile

[tahariel]

I've already had 4 bowls of cereal today!  I haven't gotten on the scale recently, but I think I've gained 40 pounds in 35 weeks. I had hoped to gain the 40 pounds in 40 weeks.  oh well!

[lissamjr]

just got back from the dr. gained 5lbs in two weeks! which is good for me, cause i hadn't been gaining enough till now and dr was worried that baby was a little small. had an u/s today also, baby is just fine. 5lbs 11oz., right on track. he said keep eating what i've been eating, just don't over do it. yeah right, i can't stop eating these days!

ok girls keep it coming!! hearing that you guys are eating a lot too helps me!! haha...  misery loves company... I am 34w34d... at 32w I was up 29lbs.. but these 2 weeks I think I have gained 4 lbs!!!  we will see... agggggg

[precious03]

I am 33w 3d, and have gained 32lbs.  You are all talking about crackers, carrots, and skim milk!!!  For some reason I have been craving peanut butter and honey sandwiches!!  I eat like 3 of those everyday, on top of the rest of my meals!!!  And milk, yes, I drink almost a 1/2 gallon a day also, but mine is 2%!!!  Argh!! 6 1/2w to go!! I don't even want to guess what my weight will be at the end of this!!

[AshleysMom]

I am right there with you!

At 35w3d I am up 32 pounds.  I've been gaining more than 2 pounds a week and haven't really changed my diet much.  I hope the books are right and that it will slow down at week 36.  I'm about to throw the stupid scale out the window.

Then again, with DD I gained at least 10 pounds more at this point, and all of my 45 pounds or so came off in three months, all but five in like 3 weeks.  I can't wait to start working out again...

P.S.  I eat in the middle of the night, too, and am addicted to start bursts.  

[melimeli]

aghhhh carrots!!!  well if that was what I was eating then life would be fine... I am eating tons of carbs!!!  and seriously I could drink a gallon of milk a day but I restrain myself and only drink half a gallon (really) at least it is skim haha...  you know how the graham crackers come in 3 packs in the box? Last night I ate a pack and a half!  and two of those crackers have 120 calories!!!  well at least I bought the low fat grahams haha... I am hopeless!!!

[valleybabes]

Doc told me to eat carrots when I get those Xtra cravings happening. I bet you eat healthy girl!  Keep eatin those carrots .....so good for you!

[valleybabes]

Well I am the complete opposite of all you ladies all my weight has come on in the begining of my pregnancies and this pregnancy is happening the same way also.  Please don't ask how much because its way more than any of you ladies gained...Meli, your weight is nothing to what I have put on. Girl and I am 22 weeks now I dunno why I am like that but I can say that towards the end of my pregnancies....I gain the lesser amout and even lose some ...for some dang reason I have no appetite towards the end. Before pregnancy I started off as a size 11.
Hope the breastfeeding will take off at least half that weight!

[pcarsey]

I have a problem eating carrots of all things... my DH asked me if I was pregnant with a bunny...hehe

I'm not sure what my gain is up to now but I'm sure it has gone up!!

[tahariel]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've even resorted to crunching on ice cubes in my water lately because I've got the munchies so much be don't want to be adding extra calories. Baby carrots are a good snack too, even though I'd rather be ripping open that box of Girl Scout cookies that are way up on the top shelf of the pantry. (I'm trying to save those until after baby is born.)  

I've been gaining about 2 pounds a week lately and I'm now passing what was my original weight goal for this pregnancy, with still over 4 weeks left to go. I really hate getting on the scale at the doctor's office. My next appointment is tomorrow afternoon. I think I might start refusing to be weighed . . . think they will mind?
