Finally gained weight!

I'm 28 weeks & at first I lost 21 pounds due to being sick with gall bladder problems & then after having the surgery to remove it I would gain a few pounds then lose them my weight was up & down every week but finally in this last month I've gained 5 pounds & not lost any! :) How exciting!!
This is probably the only time I'll ever be excited about gaining weight. Oh pregnancy!

I totally understand feeling excited. I lost fifteen pounds from morning sickness and vomiting, and finally started gaining weight at 29 weeks, now at 37+ 4 I've gained 19 pounds which makes a whole four pounds past my pregnancy weight. My doctor laughs because I do a little happy dance. It was frustrating not gaining anything because it's like the one time in my life that it is socially acceptable for me to gain weight and I couldn't!

I am 38 weeks and have only gained 12 pounds. Also because i was very very sick for the first four months! but its good ur gaining weight! when u aren't weighing wat they want you too its a little nerve racking. But i gained only12 and they say through ultrasound my lil girl is over 7 pounds so when she's born I'm gueasing she'll be about 6-7 pounds.

brittany goodness only morning sickness harsh. mine was vomiting but due to gall stones not morning sickness!
dominque: idk because that'd mean I still haven't gained any weight during pregnancy so I guess you'd prob say 12.
Babsi goodness that sounds rough! gestational diabetes is a hard thing to deal with, poor you! but lets pray you make it all the way to full term!

I'm 34+3, by the time I was 23 weeks I had lost 15 pounds and gained it back. Slowly until 31 weeks I gained an extra 13 pounds and now due to gestational diabetes and being put on a very restricted diet, I have lost 10 pounds again over the last couple weeks and am only 3 pounds away from being the exact same weight I was when I found out I was pregnant and I don't see mysel gaining much more if I do start to gain anything back haha everyone is different!

@dbrittanyl that happned to me.. I lost ten pounds I'm 21 weeks and trying to gain it back. Once you gain it back and you are at you're prepregnancy weight would you count that also? So lets say I weighed 115 at the start went down to 105 and am now 117 would I have gained 12 pounds or 2 pounds? I am confused by it BC my Dr always asks what my weight was before pregnancy.. not if I lost then gained it back..
