Pregnancy

I'm 27 weeks pregnant, doctor said I'm gaining too much weight I've gained 26 pounds already, I'm not swollen or retaining water. Can I be gaining weight because I'm always constipated? She said I can be gaining weight/fat in my vagina..

Really... I m 27wks+4 n already gained 22-24lb thts 63kg to 75kg... But my mw never said a word about my weight....

Thanks & I need to let her know again, she has told
me that I need more fiber but I've always had the constipation even before pregnancy but then I would take laxatives, but now its even worse.
Thank you all for sharing!

Just some more reassurance for you all, with my first i started out at 133. Delivered a little man of only 7lb 6oz but gained 67lbs. I lost almost all the weight with in 2 months. Dr. And i kept logs of my eating habits and water intake, no reason for the weight gain, just the way my body coped with the changes. I am now 30 weeks with my 2nd and started off. At 154, and now weigh 180..total weight gain of 26lbs.  My personal goal is to stay below 185. My ob has not said one thing about weight gain and i was told..keep your sugars down, flush your body with water never salt your foods and eat lots of foods that boost your metabolism :) Every pregnancy/woman is different!

Hey girl don't worry! If ur super constipated did u talk to ur doc about taking a laxitive to help u go to the bathroom? That mite help.

It always depends on your prepreg weight. My friends dr only wanter her to gain 15 lbs max and she only gained 8. Dr was very happy and baby was very healthy

Im glad to know I wasn't the only one who heard this. My dr said ur "supposed" gain 25 lbs but im close to gaining 40 and im 36 weeks. I read post where girls have gained more...each pregnancy is different

[claudiabgomez]

Awe thank you for your reassurance!
It was needed!(:

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I think everyone is different. I was always skinny, then w my first pregnancy gained like 52 lbs total which is a lot. But I lost 35 to 40 during birth and was eventually able to lose the rest. I had a big, healthy boy 9lbs 5oz. As long as baby is healthy, don't sweat it. Good luck!

I wouldnt worry too much about it...with my first i gained 90 lbs. (Yikes!) But this one im 37 wks and up almost 30 lbs..you will lose it when baby is born. If ur eating normal portions and healthy i wouldnt worry about it!

[claudiabgomez]

Yeah that's why I joined to gain opinions from other moms, & health experts.

[claudiabgomez]

Me too. Its very uncomfortable when I can't go for a week or sometimes a week and a half. I don't understand why I'm gaining so much weight if I'm eating healthy and normal portions

[Kelz72312]

i am not really sure about that one maybe you should get a second opinion on that..
