Lol, so at first I was losing weight I went from 160 to 152 then to 166 at about 23wks, I had my 29wk checkup nd I was 183 :( , is that normal? my family keeps telling me 'well your pregnant, its the baby" but its almost depressing, thats like 17lbs in 5wks! I don't believe I jus stuff my face all day nd I walk all the time at school, am I overacting or not worried enough??

Well thanks for the reassurance, my boyfriend always offers me a bite or asks if I want a snack nd I'm jus like "NO! I gained 17lbs! Ugh!" Lol

The weight gain is also due to increased bodily fluids.. like blood! With my first I gained 63 pounds!!! It was horrible, BUT I got back down to pre pregnancy weight. I actually loved my body and had more confidence after my first than before I had kids!!

I wonder to... but you know what it's probably the baby plus amniotic fluid plus placenta plus idk what else lol maybe that will make you feel better. But my friend went from 225 to 204 in two weeks so cross fingers!

I've gained 30 pounds so far (38+5) and I'm wondering where the weight is going lol...about two weeks ago is when my pre pregnancy clothes started getting too little lol

Exactly, like he doesn't eat a whole chicken leg so why is he making me hungry for it? Lol nd his dad was a 9lb baby so that worries me, I don't wanna be pushing out a toddler! Nd ny stomach isn't huge, like I've heard I barely look 5mnths let alone 7, so I'm jus like, where is it
all going?

I am the same way because I think how can gaining 25-30lbs during pregnancy be normal when our baby only weighs between 6-9lbs lol but I have no clue lol but I have seen the weight fall off from ladies due to breastfeeding. Ps. It isn't selfish.. I mean you want to look good and be fit for baby lol but you will be fine! :)

[2547]

I'm jus so concerned about getting back to my pre pregnancy weight. How selfish, I know,lol I jus don't won't to be over eating thinking the babys taking it all but end up with the left over weight.

[mrsreeder2be]

You are fine!! As long as Dr isn't concerned you shouldn't be.

I lost weight my first trimester due to the morning sickness and after week 20 I started gaining weight like crazy. I gained 5lbs in two weeks! Lol doctor said some ppl don't put on weight until later on in pregnancy.
