Weight gain for baby
Just curious how much weight people have gained or lost with this pregnancy.
What # of pregnancy is this for you? How much weight have you gained/lost? How many babies are you carrying?
This is my second pregnancy and I am carrying one very active baby girl. I personally started out heavier than my last pregnancy but I have only lost weight for the first 5+ months. Then around 6 months I gained back 4lbs of the 9lbs lost. Well that changed at my 30week appointment I lost 3lbs from what I had gained. So in total I have lost 8lbs and only gained 1lb total.
You dont have to put your total weight.

I was actually 198 today, so that makes a total of about 43 lbs.. yikes! Now, I also have a lot of fluid retention in my legs and feet, like more than I've ever had or seen on another woman. The OB isn't too concerned about it and it's usually the worst ont he days I'm weighed at the OB's office since they're 2 hours away.
With my son I gained 35lbs and with my daughter more like 25lbs. With him I brought jeans to wear home from the hospital that I wore until 4months pregnant and they didn't fit so with her I brought one pair of regular sized jeans (because I just wanted to wear some normal jeans at the end of both pregnancies) and one pair of looser jeans. I was actually able to fit into my normal jeans after her and that was a great surprise.
Anyway, now we have a scheduled C for November 26th so I'm just going to eat normally and worry about any additional weight later.
With all of the complications I've had with this pregnancy, weight gain is the least of my worries. I am planning on breastfeeding as well, so I hope that will help some with getting back to a healthy weight, but I am happy with my body either way and DH fell in love with me when I was this weight and NOT pregnant and having his support in that area is a wonderful stress-reliever for me.

19 lbs so far and at 34 weeks. I've been gaining about a pound a week in the last month.
That is awesome your c-sec date is just around the corner!! Good Luck girl and I hope you get to go home in your jeans this time. I tried that after my son, but OMG the recovery from the c-section, just wouldnt allow me to wear jeans for a few weeks!
I am the odd ball of the group I guess... but I gained back 1 more pound, so -7 all together!!
