I started out at 125 and am now at 161.. I hate it but I was told it's mostly water weight too. I'm also hypoglycemic so I constantly have to snack on things, but being pregnant kind of made it worse. Try eating a banana or granola bars, or even a few peanut butter crackers . That and rule out fast food of course. That's what's helping me so far

With my first I gained 55lbs. I lost all but 20lbs of it but slowly put all the weight back on. I am now pregnant with #2 currently 22weeks. I initially list about 9lbs but the last 3 weeks I've gained 4 lbs. I am heavier and my ob isnt very nice when I comes to my weight she loves to bring it up every appt. " bc your heavy" " bc you have extra weight around your belly" I hate it she makes me feel uncomfortable and I am not looking forward to my next visit.

I gained a lot with my first baby and it was pretty hard on me, especially trying to lose it afterwards. I am now pregnant again and my second trimester starting gaining a lot of weight...again. so, recently I've been trying to exercise a little every day (sometimes it's just 10 min, whatever I can handle that morning) and eating lots of fruits and veggies! Instead of limiting what I eat I just try to eat foods with low calories. It keeps me full and happy without putting on too much weight. My favorite is bananas in low fat vanilla yogurt, delicious! Good luck!
