Weight Gain Confessions - Page 4

22 weeks today, and I've gained a total of 9 lbs since pre-pregnancy. That's all well and good, but I gained about 4.5 of those lbs in the last week!!!! I don't know what happened--I don't think it's all water weight/constipation/etc.--all I know is that I better not keep going at this rate! My stomach has been feeling rather uncomfortably big for the last several days, and I'm losing my ability to suck it in to look almost normal (not preg). I guess I really am growing a baby in there! lol.

Um, yeah. I've gained 32 pounds. I weigh more than my husband. That is all.

I'm 25 weeks and have gained I think 20 lbs I switched midwifes so its a different scale but I am definitely starting to pack it on:

I had a big weight gain this week and am now totaling about 20 pounds gain at 24 weeks. I think I ate too much food on Easter

Went for my 26 weeks appt. Wednesday and I am up 27lbs!!! 10lbs. of that was in the last 4 weeks!! But my uterus grew 8cm's in only 4 weeks so my m/w thinks the babe had a little growth spurt.

I'm up 20lbs at 25 weeks. Eh, it came off before, it'll come off again.

24 weeks and 25 lbs. Seems strange to me given that I gained 25 lbs. total during my last pregnancy.

However, I did begin that one overweight and reached the upper limit for weight gain. This pregnancy began when I had lost a good 40 lbs. under my old weight so I am "allowed" to gain more, but gaining so much so quickly honestly concerns me; my OB is not concerned at all.

I did read that some women gain more in the beginning, while others gain more toward the end. I am trying not to be so liberal with my cravings; I really would prefer not to even get to 35 lbs.
