How much weight have u gained? - Page 3

[angelamclamb]

Since my initial post about having trouble gaining weight, I am now 140lbs. I started out at 122. I have been drinking Pediasure and eating smaller but more frequent meals. My gallbladder is still giving me a fit, but if I can just make until after the baby gets here.

So I have now gained 18lbs!!! Yippeeeee

I'm about 28wks and I lost 12lbs from morning sickness during the 1st-tri & now I'm in the 3rd-tri and have gained around 27lbs, I think!

I fantasize about having one of those tight trim preggie bellies that I can flash with pizazz but not for me. I've got a nice layer of jiggle on top (or rather, sagging below )
But, as previously stated, who really cares as long as everyone is healthy?


I'm going to try those papaya enzymes!

I've gained 18 lbs too and my midwife is absolutely thrilled with my weight gain (and no, I'm not a skinny gal, I started out 10 lbs overweight)! Please don't listen to your OB! They are WAY too obsessed about weight and it doesn't do anybody any good.

Oh and I've got the little saggy thing going on too. I just don't wear anything that's showy.

I've gained about 20, which is about the same as I had with DS at this time (I went on to have a 30 pound gain with him and lose it all in the first two weeks!), but this time I swear it's all in my butt so I'm feeling more self-conscious about it. (maybe it's all in my head )

i have lost 20lbs...

gained 5 as of 2 weeks ago...

lost 3 of them according to my visit this morning with my MW...

so the other 2 that stayed i am guessing is all baby girl.

i had HG worse this time than with dd so my MW isn't expecting a big gain...said she'd worry if i gained the 25lbs or so in the next 9 weeks...lol

she peeked back through my chart and i am following the same pattern with dd, just not gaining as much...i gained 12 with dd#1 and she was still 9lbs so no worries.....

I'm almost 28 weeks and have gained about 25. The weight gain this time has been different than with my other two. I'm not complaing though!!

[mighty-mama]

So far at 28wks, I've gained 21lbs.

As of a few days ago I am up 13 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost about 5 lbs with m/s but most of that was pure dehydration and it bounced right back. I am moving so have a copy of my charts from the last pregnancy and am within 1 lb of where I was with DD. I gained 24 lbs with her and hope to gain about the same or more this time.

I went for a check up today. I'm feeling like I need to start curbing my ENORMOUS sweet tooth. I have no idea what has gotten into me, but I feel like I NEED something sweet on a daily basis. My meals are healthy, but I can't seem to stop the snacks. (a little dark chocolate, a muffin, ice cream, ugh)

28 weeks, 4 days....19lbs. My face is starting to get that "too much ice cream" look to it.

[mrsfatty]

I'm plus-sized, I've gained 11 pounds (I'm 29.5 weeks)...

[bhawkins]

I'm just over 30 wks and I've gained 22 lbs. That's all I gained during my entire pregnancy last time . Oh well, guess my little girl's hungry in there.

[beckyphry]

Just about 20lbs at 30 weeks!

[ATD_Mom]

25 pounds at 29 weeks.

I am one pound heavier than what I hoped to be at 40 weeks. Oh well. I eat a balanced diet, and not too awful much of it, and I walk or bike 2-6K every day. So I figure I'm fine - my body must just be building up fat stores for months and months of nursing.

What frightens me is my MIL telling me "In my day, we were only allowed to gain 20 pounds." Scary stuff, considering very few people exercised in the 70's. So if your doctor told you to stop packing on the pounds, what could you do besides starve yourself? I'm glad the "experts" are telling us otherwise nowadays.

Initially, I lost 5 pounds and was just gaining about 2 lbs a month...
So, with the regained weight plus the additional weight - i've gained 10 lbs.

At 27 weeks, I had gained about 18 lbs. I haven't weighed myself since. It seems like I've gained the same amount as last time.

[Blucactus]

14 pounds at 27 weeks. I lost some in the first tri and once I got back up to my pre-pregnancy weight at 16 weeks, started gaining a steady pound a week (with a couple extra tacked on a few weeks in there, obviously). :

I gained 60 with my son, so I am proud that I can say "at this point last pregnancy I had gained 35 pounds and this time only 14 so far" because to me it's symptomatic that I am taking better care of my body this time.

According to my last visit a few days ago 0lbs at 30wks....

I know I have gained weight bc the baby is in there along with all the extra water and blood which just means I lost more in the beginning with the HG than we thought.....

Maybe now that I am not so sick, I will gain some pounds......

My MW doesn't seem to be concerned about it bc I only gained about 12ish total with dd 3 years ago......

Friends keep telling me I should feel lucky but I don't....feel like I am missing out.....

I just do things backwards....I lose the weight when pregnant and the first 6 months of nursing, then gain it back and it won't budge no matter what when I am not pregnant.....wish it were the other way around.....

[srp1984]

I'm at 28 weeks. I was about 140 before now at 195. 55lbs. I'm glad im not the only one whos gained a lot. Hopefully it will come off quick :-)

[mamas2atti]

Another person freaking out here. I have gained 28 pounds at 28 weeks, which is more than the total with both of my other pregnancies. I just lost 28 pounds between October and when we got a BFP so I am frustrated but trying not to get hung up on it.
