I have gained 8lbs since my last appt 4wks ago!!!!! :irked:
I am really going to have to watch what I am doing all though
I don't see how I couldv'e gained that much I mean I am doing
good to eat 2 meals a day......Oh welll.....I am up 12lbs so far
now so for almost 25 wks I think that is pretty good. Other than
that I had a good appt I go back in 5wks for my next appt and
my next u/s to make sure the placenta has moved up then I
will go for another appt 3wks after that then I will be going
every 2 weeks.....anyways just though I would update myself
on my appt today.

Hey Elly- you were like me I think, not gaining in the beginning? I lost 8lb and now I've gained it and almost another 10lb! :( I had hoped not to gain more than 15-20 at the most, but we'll see. I wouldn't care but I just have such a problem losing weight and my petite frame just doesn't like carrying around even an extra 10lb. :(

OMG- I can't believe we're almost to the biweekly visits already! :dropjaw In fact, I guess that means after my next prenatal I'll be seeing my midwife every other week. Gosh, times flies!

I hope the rest of your visit went well! :love

[ellymay]

Yes the rest of my visit went fine. I am just anxious about my next appt the one for
the u/s bc I am still kind of worried about the placenta not moving up where it is supposed to be.

I'm thinking good, positive thoughts for your next appointment mama! :fingersx:

Don't sweat it, mama! I gained 9 pounds last month, and I eat just fine! I started out this pregnancy almost 10 pounds lighter than before kids, so I know my body has more that it needs to gain. It does suck tho, to see that much of a gain!! :lol And good luck on the next appt!! :love

My next appointment is Wednesday and I have the feeling I will be in the same boat! I went from not showing at all to my stomach popping way out in just a matter of weeks. I am 25 weeks, too.

Sending you good vibes for your next appointment!

I've gained 14.5 pounds and most of it has been in the last few weeks. I also went from not looking pregnant to suddenly...pop! And I'm only 23 weeks. As this is my first pregnancy, I really didn't expect to be so big this fast! (But I'm also short, short-waisted, and on the small side pre-pregnant, so I guess it makes sense.)

Sending you happy placenta vibes, ellymay!

I gained 8 lbs between weeks 20 and 24. I had only gained 10 lbs up to 20 weeks. My OB was a little taken aback, but since my total gain hasn't been that much, she didn't really care. I mean honestly, I don't see how I ate that much food in 4 weeks! I gained about 35-40 lbs with ds, and am expecting the same sort of gain this time. It seems really common for pg women to gain in spurts. As long as your eating ok, I wouldn't worry.

And, some placenta moving up vibes to you too! :D
