weight gain so far? - Page 2

[Mamatoto2]

I haven't gained any at this point (almost 15 weeks). Maybe 1 lb., but I'm not sure. I was the same way with my first pregnancy-I didn't gain anything until into the 2nd trimester, but I managed to gain 49 lbs. by the end of the pregnancy (lots of water weight-I was REALLY swollen). I recall only wanting to eat "white fluffy carbs" when pregnant with DD. PAncakes made with a scoop of soy protien powder played an important role in my life....I think I'm eating a little closer to my normal diet now (although all that candy around Halloween was a killer). I'm hoping to avoid as much edema with this pregnancy and not gain as much (especially since I started this pregnancy 10 lbs. heavier) but we shall see....

The OB I saw for my last pg didn't even make you get weighed. Now that I have more to compare her to, I'm gaining a big appreciation for this doctor!

I have no idea where I started, but I've gained 5 lbs since last month. I'm about 3 lbs more than the heaviest I like to be when not pregnant, but I haven't paid much attention to the weight number since my dd was born. I had to eat to make milk, and I don't eat junk or excessive portions, so I just decided I had enough other things to worry about. As long as I have clothes that fit, I'm ok.

I gained 40 lbs last time, and I know a lot of that was water and fluids because 2 days pp, I was 22 lbs lighter. My gain was pretty steady, except for a big jump between 15 and 18 weeks--12 lbs--that sort of freaked me out, even though I was totally cool about weight every other second of the pregnancy. It was just watching the nurse move over the BIG weight to the next 50 lb mark that sent me over the edge...

Strawberrypricess (love the name BTW), I also gained and lost 50 lbs. w/each of my 3 pregnancies. I think your mf was out of line saying there was something "wrong" w/your weight gain. Your body know what it is doing. Don't let her stress you out.

I have only gained a couple pounds so far, at 15 weeks (been quite sick & stressed). Although I could be wrong bc I was not sure of my weight prior to pregnancy. In my previous pregnancies, I had gained 10-15 by now.
