I'm right there with you, I have TONS of water! You can leave finger prints in my legs and feet!! I was laying on my side with my bottom foot at the side of the shin on my other leg and when I went to get up, I had a 2 inch indention on my shin where it was laying on my foot!! I'm up about 45 lbs and my doctor thinks a good chunk is the water. Even my arms and face are puffy!! I started off at 129lbs and i'm not liking the new numbers I'm seeing on the scale!
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!!
19 lbs so far and at 34 weeks. I've been gaining about a pound a week in the last month.
22 pounds and I have 2 days until I am 37 weeks.
17 pounds so far. I gained 4 lb in the last 2 weeks!
Entering 33 weeks now.
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.
