Weight gain check - Page 6

[springbride]

At 39w I am 176 for a total weight gain of 29lbs.
no more please is right!

[majorsky]

I'm at about 32 lbs. (maybe 1 or 2 up from that now) at 36 weeks.

I forgot to add that I'm actually totally OK with this weight gain. I may be able to keep it to around 35 lbs. total when baby arrives. That's better than 45 lbs. like the last time.

I was up 31 lbs at my 35 week appointment last week. I'm okay with that, but I'm hoping to not gain much more.

[learnlovebe]

36.5 weeks, total so far is 32 lbs.

I'm scared for my next appt, because my feet keep getting puffier, and this was the point I gained 8lbs in a week w/ ds's pg. Agh!

[lindsayjean]

I've gained 18lbs so far. Last pregnancy I gained 20 total so I feel like this is about the same- maybe I'll gain slightly more.

At 40 weeks I've gained 29 pounds. 3 weeks ago it was 31 pounds, then 2 weeks of no gain, then 2 pounds lost. Pretty much the same thing happened with DD

I have no idea *how* I've lost weight (or how I did at the end last time, either!) because I've been starving and definitely eating whenever I'm hungry. Baby must be taking lots of resources from me

Let me preface this by saying that before I got pg I was at my all time high pregnancy wt of 164. I am 172 as of 37 weeks so only 8 pounds. But I feel HUGE b/c I've never been this big with any of mine (this is #5 for me). I was 130 before I got pg with #1 and 145 before #2 and 150ish before #3 and about 145-150ish before #4 I weighed 160-164 at delivery with all of them.

At 36 weeks I'm up 20 lbs. I haven't gained anything in the last 3 weeks, I was hoping it would be easier to pack it on at the end. It worries me just a little, because I am super small to begin with, but my mom said she only gained about 25 with her pregnancies and we were all normal sized babes.

[zubeldia]

At 36.5 weeks I'd gained 17 pounds. I was a bit swollen... a week later, though, I'd dropped 2 pounds. Less swelling, and maybe a bit dehydrated. I expect I'll be back up again on Monday

Last appt (yesterday - 36 weeks) I was up about 32 lb.

I'm 37 wks. So far with this pregnancy I have gained 7 lbs.

Well, I seem to have all of you beat so far!!! At nearly 39 weeks, I am up 34 lbs. I gained about the same with my daughter and then actually 38 with my son. So I am okay with it--I have stayed very active, but have not really "watched my diet" very well. But--most people tell me that I am "all baby". (which I know that baby won't weigh 34 lbs, but it sure feels like it is sitting all in my tummy!!!!)

[blissful_maia]

I am up 44 pounds at 37 weeks! I always gain loads of weight in pregnancy... gained 65 pounds the first time around, and 80 the second. So I feel like I've gained barely anything! My body just does it, I eat well and maintain the same activity level. It's easy for me to lose afterwards, and my babies are on the big end of normal (high 8's, low 9's).

[durafemina]

last time I checked - which was last week I believe - 37 weeks - I was 118 lbs which is up 15 and a bit pounds from pre-preg. About the same as where I was with dd and with another couple weeks to go (surely!) I plan to chuck on at least a couple more so this little one isn't too skinny (but hey, I'm small, I make small babies - it's all good - and I feel like I eat constantly).

[veganmama719]

I am up 27 lbs at 37 weeks.

Gained 22 with DD (6 lb 9 oz) and 47 with DS (9 lb 5 oz).

I am 39 weeks sunday - started at 158 and now weight 213......

first time pregnancy - gained a bit of weight - but the midwife has told me that I will lose at least 10 of water......quite swollen.

I feel comfortable with the amount I've gained....... and just accept it.

I am up 38 lbs at 37 weeks. I hadn't gained a thing in 6 weeks, and then I went up 6 lbs in two weeks, I think some of that is water as I just started to swell. I gained 65 with DS, so I am thrilled to keep this one close to 40. I think the GD diet helped me not gain as much. I found it all super easy to lose last time. Within 4 months it was all off.
