weight gain?

[yourstruly21]

So ive gained about 25 lbs at 29 weeks..is that considered a lot? How much more am I likely to gain?

[KTowne]

But to answer your question, that sounds right to me! I'm 31 weeks and have gained about 20lbs, hopefully this last trimester doesn't throw me overboard!

Ive heard yu lose a lot of weight breastfeeding but im afraid if I got lower than my pre pregnancy weight i would look sick! Im really tall 5"8 and was 115 before getting pregnant I dont wanna be 100 lbs:/

I never had a projectile squirting issue, haha! I did leak, of course, but you're going to have that (for a short time though, if you decide not to breastfeed) either way, as your milk supply will come in, you'll have to wait for it to dry up. I was below my prepregnancy weight within 2 weeks of birth with my son, that was gaining 35+lbs, and I didn't do any extra exercising or dieting!

Oh and I gained 40lbs with my son.

I breastfed my son until he was a year old and yes I did spray my hubby a couple of times we both laughed about it. This may be a little tmi but when her would pick on me about it I would pull it out and spray him lol. Pumping never hurt me but I think it would have hurt if I tried before my milk was in. I always made sure I had some pumped and in the freezer so if I went somewhere without him the sitter would have it, or I could put it in a bottle and bring it with us. I'm so happy I breastfed, without workingout at all I got down BELOW my prepregnancy weight while eating whatever I wanted. I'm going to breastfeed again its free and so easy to do. :)

Oh I know! I really hope she was just telling me this to scare me haha

Ahahahaha that's sooooo funny and weird!! Although i hope that does NOT happen i would crack the hell up if it happened cause my fiancee would FREAK out. Lol. I've never heard of that tho hopefully it doesn't happen a lot lol.

[yourstruly21]

My husband is another thing im worried about! My friends aunt told me the other day that when she was breastfeeding (tmi) everytime she had sex n got aroused her nipples would squirt that scared me sooo bad lol

[rachb11]

Lol i know what you mean. I plan on breastfeeding and i really hope i can but that's not to say I'm not freaked out haha. It's going to be something i have to get used to. I got a pump actually a few days ago and put it on my boob to see if the suction worked and holy crap, it hurt haha. It made me a little iffy but i still want to try! I also think its weird i have milk/colostrum coming out of my boob. Lol it's weird but i like to joke about it. Specially to my fiance he's soooooooo grossed out by it and i looooove teasin him lol

[yourstruly21]

Ive actually considered it many times but I honestly dont know that I would be able to do it...the thought of it scares me

[rachb11]

Well not trying to push it on ya or anything but there is always pumping for when your not home! But its totally understandable! (:

[yourstruly21]

Im not planning on breastfeeding it just seems inconvenient if im out and the baby gets hungry

[rachb11]

Even if you gain a little more your fine. (: im a bigger girl i lost 50 lbs before i got pregnant and I'm trying not to gain all of it back and hoping to lose what i have fast. Do you plan on breastfeeding? It helps with weight loss and healing of your uterus (:

[yourstruly21]

Alright thanks im hoping to max out at 35

[rachb11]

gain. Sorry cut me off.

[rachb11]

I gained about that much by 29w too. I'm 36 now n have gained 35. it's a pretty healthy weight gain. Every one is different so i can't say how much more you'll
