overweight and pregnant

[thabang1]

Hi ladies. Was anyone overweight at the start of their pregnancy and how are you managing the weight? Currently 16 weeks.  No weight gain yet but not due to trying I still have morning sickness. So worried about after.

[ajaynes84]

I was 215 when I got pregnant. I'm now 16 weeks and 3 days and a have been holding at 213. I've been eating whatever I want so far and so hopefully I won't gain too much.

5` and i start 189 now 205 the app said normal range.

Not overweight but I was and struggle with my weight constantly. I am currently 13 weeks pregnant, 5'1 and started out at around 129. I am currently 138. Makes me nervous because this app tells me that I'm gaining too quick. Don't understand how tho, because I have severe nausea at every time of the day and somedays I will skip meals.

With my first baby I was 198lbs and put on 37lbs and lost it all. This one I was 198lbs and at 20wks I have put on 13lbs. My dr isn't concerned at all, cholestoral is good and no sugar in urine, but hospital said I shouldn't put on more then 20lbs. I lost all of the weight last time over 8mths without hardly doing anything so not hugely concerned but do appreciate that it might be harder second time round.

I started out at 236 and now 15 weeks 5 days down 226 lbs. Doctor is not concerned with my weight loss. Although I am not doing much just walking. And I don't have morning sickness.  The weight loss is unintentional. Not sure why I am I eat normal. The ambush did tell me  that I don't have to gain much weight.

I'm 5' and I started at 250, I was going to the gym and I got pregnant, in the first trimester, I didn't gain any weight but now, I've gained 16 lbs so far and I'm 27 weeks, my Dr is not concerned about it, but I am, cause I didn't want to gain more than 15 lbs, and I see women that are almost done and they haven't gain more than 10 lbs and it drives me crazy

[newmommyCharli]

Yes. I am 5'7" and weighed 177 prior to pregnancy. I'm 27 weeks and I've gained about 11 lbs so far. I wasn't really gaining weight at all in the beginning but my stomach was getting bigger/rounder. The lbs are slowly starting to come as of recently. I eat pretty healthy for the most part, not a lot of sugary or sweet stuff and no caffeine. My dr says I'm doing fine with weight gain.

[thabang1]

Thank you for your response.  Looks like I should be fine if I look at what I eat.

Im nearly 10 weeks and over weight. I haven't gained any weight though which I'm so glad about. I drink lots of water walk every night and try to eat healthy. My doctor said baby and I are very healthy

I started out this pregnacy really over weight as well. I had a lot of morning sickness for awhile overall I've actually lost 8 lbs it fluctuates though some apps I gain a few lbs just to lose them by the next. I just limite junk food and make better food choices :) plus being more active prior to my pregnancy Ie walking more has really helped. I'm 33wk and 4 days

[mjoen828]

This is my 2nd child, this pregnancy I started off 225lb at 5 ft 4in. I am 18 weeks and I have gained 7lbs so far. My 1st pregnancy I was also overweight started that pregnancy at 215 and the day of my delivery I weighed 245 so I gained exactly 30lbs. Hopefully I end this one less that 250 as well :)

I've just found out I'm pregnant. Literally within the last few hours with a home pregnancy test. And although I'm super excited, I'm also terribly anxious as I've also just weighed myself and am heavier than ever. When I say heavy I mean HUGE!! I have no idea how far gone I am at the moment as the last couple of months when I've had periods they've been real light and only lasted a few days but I was worried I was headed for the menopaus if I'm honest. I never expected that I'd actually be pregnant. My partner and I hadn't been careful due to my weight and assumed we wouldn't fall and also because of his epilepsy medication we thought it was impossible. As happy as I am to be expecting and believe me it's all I've ever wanted, I am petrified!!

I am a little bit over weight for my height to weight ratio.. I am 24 weeks And gained 8 pounds. My doctor wants me only to gain 15 to 25 pounds my whole pregnancy.  I eat a lot of salads, cook homemade meals all the time so I know what is being put into them, I only drink water and milk (no pop), I walk my dog everyday for Atleast 30 mins And I work out 3 or 4 days a week. . Which includes aerobics, leg work outs And arm work outs. :)

[insomniac185]

Started very over weight and I am 20 weeks today and have lost two lbs. Doctor is ok with it and baby is healthy

[Scuttles88]

I started out overweight.  I'm 34+3 and have gained about 8 lbs. I didn't have any morning sickness but my weight tends to fluctuate between appointments. I'll lose a few lbs and then gain 1 or 2. My drs are pretty happy with my minimal weight gain.

[promise25]

[TigerLily1230]
