Weight Gain??

[gokuangel]

Just wondering what all you ladies had for weight gain I was fine for 18 wks put on the normal 8 lbs and when i went to my dr the other day the nurse said i had gained 9 lbs in ONE MONTH!!! I think thats alot and im freaking out now I dont want to get huge or be overweight! She said to watch the sweets and the salt what else can i do to help make sure i dont go over board?? I still have 4 months before my son is due!!

I'm 14w 2d & only gained 1 lb but the morning sickness killed me!! I seen my Dr recently & he said its normal to gain more in the 2nd trimester which I can see why cause I'm always hungry now haha he said to still eat just 3 meals a day & snack in between! He said to eat carrots in between cause it actually gives u the feeling if being full for a while so maybe do that! Good luck!!

Gaining weight isn't super important. Eating healthy and not starving your body of the nutrients it needs to support both you and baby is what matters. Some women gain weight some don't. I tend to lose a lot of weight with my pregnancies in the first trimester and never gain all of it back. I am not a little girl so maybe that is why my dr is never concerned but with my son I was smaller than I am now and he told me that as long as I'm not starving my self and am eating a well balanced diet and taking my prenatals there's nothing to stress over. But if this is something yall are really concerned about you should talk to your dr about it. They would know what is an appropriate amount of weight to gain or not gain due to your health history and pre pregnancy weight and would be the best person to advise you on how to maintain a proper weight.

You do usually gain the most in the end I gained 20 with my first. But I'm almost in the last 6 Weeks and I actually lost threeo pounds of the 8 I had gained

I had lost 15 lbs b4 i got pg so i was a tad underweight my job was pretty stressfull! it helps in the aspect of pg weight though! i am gonna monitor my eating though i have full attentions of hitting the gym when the baby is here but i dont need to go extreme in the mean time! How much do you normally gain in the last trimester i know thats when he will be getting all his fat and weight on him i have a lil over a month b4 i hit the last stretch!

[proudmommyandwife]

I, wouldn't, worry too much other than maybe trying to monitor what you eat and try to eat decently healthy. Im worried about my lack of weight gain with this one

Sooo, I gained 75 with my son. O.O I am expecting again and am terrified of the same thing happening. I lost 30 pounds in fluids alone tho...and I was about 35 pounds underweight too. Now I am no where near underweight tho.

My first son I gained about 40 or so but this one I'm almost 34 Weeks and have only gained 5 pounds
