How much weight have you gained so far?

[camille76]

I've gained 8 pounds so far and I'm almost 20wks along now. Hoping since I'm 1/2 way there that I won't gain more than 20-25 total. I'm hoping : that I'll be able to stay at the 20-25 just so it'll be extra easy to return to my regular weight after birth. It happened that way (by chance) with pg#2 and it was awesome!! I was back to normal in about 2 months! (With pg#1 and #3, I gained about 50 lbs or so.) I'm of course eating plenty; just trying to make good, healthy choices. How are you all doing? How much have you gained? And does anyone remember having gained 8 lbs half way through and then sky-rocketed to an obscene amount by the end of the pg? Thanks!

Me again Just wondering if anyone can remember when faces start to get a little chubby/puffy? I just can't seem to remember. That's always been one of my least-favorite parts of pg. Can anyone remember when that generally starts to happen?

I am 19w2d and I have gained 17lbs so far. My face always started to fill out after 30wks....

I think I've gained about 18 pounds. Dr. b*tched about me gaining 6 pounds last month. I really could care less...

I have trouble gaining weight during my pregnancies typically. I actually have gained during this pregnancy so far which is SHOCKING! I'm up to 5lbs so far in the last 2 months. With my first daughter I gained a total of 10lbs and iwth my second daughter I lost 20lbs. I'd be thrilled to gain 20lbs. But for most people nursing takes the lbs right off and you just have to worry about toning so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Make healthy choices, stay active(within reasonable limits) and don't let the scale dictate your life. I dropped 50lbs total with my toddler. 20 during pregnancy and 30 in the months after. I needed it and it was a positive thing to drop the weight but it was VERY fast and very dramatic. Nursing does a number on my body! Since having my second daughter I've been quite thin as she weaned MAYBE 8months ago? So I"m hoping for a nice 20lb weight gain and a slower weight loss during nursing. I'd like to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight this time of 125lbs.

i don't know how much weight i've gained so far. with dd i gained 30 lbs exactly. started at 108, delivered at 138. i never got a puffy face though.

this time i don't know how much i weigh or how much i've gained. i don't really care. i've been doing callanetics 3x a week and have slimmed down in my thigh/hip/butt areas a good amount.

i gained a ton of weight from nursing and i hope that isn't the case this time. it has been very depressing.

i lost 3 during the first tri and have gained 10 back. i'm just glad to be gaining.

I've gained about 6 lbs. I keep reminding myself that pregnancy is not a license to have a food party. We'll see if that mantra sticks!

[HairyArmpits]

Geez, I think I have already gained about 30 lbs!

I gained 65 total when preggo w/ twins, but with them everyone seemed worried about them getting enough so I just ate constantly.
Unfortunately, I think I have applied that same mentality to this pregnancy... not to mention I have a sweet tooth this time, which is very unlike me usually. My face is already looking puffy! (to me anyway.)
I had to go buy new undies 4 sizes bigger than my usual size yesterday...ugh... and my sis just sent me some pix from last weekend, (we went to my ex's wedding,) and looking at them it's no wonder everyone thinks I am in my 8th month already!

Sorry, trying not to be too superficial here... I am beautiful... I am radiant... :

I'm pretty sure I'm just starting to gain, but most of it's water because of the weather we've been having here and not being very good about my intake Up 'til now, I think I've been evening out - I've been loosing just the right amount that the baby has been adding - my face has definitely thinned out. I'm just hoping that the Bean moves to a more comfortable position and I can start getting out more since fall seems to have finally arrived. As far as total weight-gain I am beyod thrilled since I was diet rebounding with my first and gained back almost all that I lost before I got pregnant.

Sorry some of you are dealing with flack from your care providers.

Hmm, I think I'm only about five lbs down from my starting weight now. Not bad at all.

[isra1986]

I have lost 10 Lbs. so far. I was down 13, but have finally started to gain some back.

[StrawberryFields]

I don't know exactly. At my 19 week appointment with the doctor I had gained 9 lbs total and was 126. Yesterday I weighed myself at the midwife (22 weeks) and her scale said 134! I don't believe it, I really don't think I could have gained 8 lbs in 3 weeks. Especially because my belly is the same and all my clothes fit the same. So who knows.

[eilonwy]

I think I'm at -19, but I'm making a concerted effort to eat, so...

My face only got puffy with the first, and it didn't happen until nearly the end (like 34 weeks). With the others, I lost so much in the beginning that I never got a puffy face.

[applecore]

I don't own a scale, and neither does my midwife! So I don't have a clue, and frankly, I like that! I know I'm healthy, so I guess that's all that matters.

[Steady101]

I am down 19. I never got a puffy face with ds.

[ellymay]

I have gained about 12-13lbs I think
