Weight

I've gained about 93 pounds so far ever since I got pregnant. My doc said its mostly probably water retention but could that be true? I have no clue how I'm gaining this much! Pre pregnancy weight was 145, now I'm 238 as of today..

I gained around 40lbs but the only place I look like I got bigger is my belly don't worry about it your gonna lose some after birth and from then one you just gotta work out and watch what you eat.. You'll lose it I'm assuming your young because of the group your in so don't stress about it

I doubt 90lbs is all just water retention.
Whats your eating/excercise habits on a daily basis?

And you will probably lose all that weight after the baby :)

Yeah I am really tall so I've always had a number like 180 Or even 200 but never over. I didn't look fat but I wasn't looking skinny skinny either. So far I am 184 and I'm just scared third trimester will make me gain more weight. I've maintained a good diet baby is well and healthy.

I gained like 1 or two pounds my first trimester and then in the middle of my second trimester my weigh sky rocketed. My mom says I will lose quite a bit after I have the baby but I'm hoping that's true because I don't even look 238 pounds !

When would you girls say you gain he most weight is it second trimester or third? So far I've only gained 4 pounds I'm 24 weeks I keep gaining and losing those 4 pounds but I am scared I'll gain a lot a lot more third trimester though. I have been getting more and more hungry than usual.

Soak in Epsom salt! It's supposed to help with water retention, my mom's retained water horribly since having kids and it's the only thing that really helps her. She gets horrible swelling from it. Also wear compression socks it will help too.

I too was 145 at the start of my first pregnancy. By the end I weighed 211. When I was at the hospital I was beyond swollen. It took a few days but when I was discharged I had lost 33 pounds! It is crazy how much fluid you can retain!
