Weight gain?

Stevie - posted on 05/03/2010

I'm 2 days overdue now and I have gained 60 pounds give or take a couple so that puts me around 212 pounds! I feel huge alright most of the weight seems to have gone to my bum and thighs and boobs along with my belly, my ribs are still small and my arms aren't huge. I sincerely hope that nursing will help me loose the weight quickly!

Due to me being overweight I was not supposed to gain anymore than 10-15lbs which I sorely scoffed at because my other pregnancies I always gained like 65lbs or more. But this pregnancy I have padi alot more attention to what I am eating. I am 35 weeks along and I have gained 18.5 lbs. My weight has fluctuated throughout the entire pregnancy and I am huge (at least in my opinion) The Dr. is happy though and says the baby is doing very well. I'm hoping I don't put too much more weight on.

Well i am 29 weeks pregnant today and i have lost a total of 22 pounds. I had lost a total of 26 pounds but at my last appointment i had gained 4 pounds. I am overweight to start with so my doctor was not worried about the loss and is now not concerned about the small gain. My goal this pregnacy is to not have gained anything by the end. I think every woman is different. So can gain lots of weight and loose it fast after and other only gain a little but it takes forever to get rid of it after .... not fair really. My sister only looks healthy when she is pregnant and then when she has the baby she looses a tone of weight and looks really unhealthy again. Me on the other hand i just look fat all the time lol. I am sure that everyone is doing just fine and i bet you all look FANTASTIC!!!

Hm...not sure I really want to post because I have gained more than all of you! LOL. I am 23 weeks today with my second and have gained probably about 15-20 lbs already. :-/ I gained about 50 in all with my first but started out a little underweight. This time I felt like I weighed more than I should've when I got pregnant and battled some with wanting to not eat even though I knew I needed to for the baby's sake and my own, but I've gotten over that and eat when I'm hungry. I still don't eat well (very light brkfst, light lunch, and normalish dinner with maybe a snack or two throughout the day) but I still have been gaining about 4 lbs each month and I definitely feel huge already!! Luckily my hubby already bought me the workout system I want so come May I plan to get my butt in gear!!

You are not alone! I compared pictures of when I was prego with my daughter to what I look like now in my 2nd pregnancy & holy crap I look like I was when I was 6 or 7 months along with her! I have gained about 10 lbs as well but I feel like I look like I have gained 20. I am due May 24th & my cousin who is due a couple weeks after me is prego with twins & its her third pregnancy but yet I look like I am at least 2 months ahead of her instead of only 2 weeks.

My dr. said I much just be one of those woman who can a lot of weight. Im 18 1/2 weeks pregnant now and have gained 12lbs so its not as bad as my first child. By the end of my 1st pregnancy I gained 85lbs( A LOT of water weight). I am watching what I eat more this time, so I dont gain so much. Im not gonna worry to much about my weight just as long as I dont gain as much as I did with the first. Krystal I do not know what Im having yet. My dr is one of those dr's that would rather have a person wait and see rather than finding out to soon..so I have to wait till Im 22 weeks. Anyone else know what they are having yet?

Well, I'll be 19 weeks tomorrow and have not gained any weight. My doctor isn't too hapy about that... The pattern was the same with my first and I gained 27 pounds in total. I have an ultrasound on Monday. Hopefully the baby is growing well and there is nothing to worry about.

I haven't gianed any weight yet. At the beginning I've lost some of my weight because I felt sick all the time. But my breasts are huge and now I'm 18wks now so I am afraid how much will they rise till the end.

Krystal - posted on 12/15/2009

I'm 17wks at the mo, first time pregnancy, with twins, and I've gained about 5kg (10lbs) as well Amanda. I agree with everyone else...apparently you show earlier with your 2nd onwards. Don't be worried! I'm sure you're eating an awesome diet and giving your lil baby all the nutrients he/she needs. Do you know what you're having yet?

I am 19 weeks today, with my third. I have gained about 4-6 pounds. I am showing much more than I was with my 1st, showed early with my second as well.

im due may 1 and i have gained 3 lbs. i am 20 weeks and 5 days. i have hyperthyroidism though. they say with your second child that in the beginning your body will gain weight more rapidly and your uterus will expand faster because your body is accustomed to childbearing. this is my first and my lack of weight gain worries me. and 10 lbs at 15 weeks sounds very normal i think? you surely do not look huge!

Stevie - posted on 12/07/2009

I'm 19 weeks so almost 5 months with my first and have gained about 12-15 pounds depending on what time of day I weigh myself (lighter in the morning) I'm 5'7 and weighed 152 when I got pregnant so I was pushing it at the high end of a "healthy" weight for my height, I'm hoping I don't go past 180... I don't feel huge I'm enjoying my belly, my breasts however are getting out of hand and that is making me nervous, but the man seems to like it lol

Cheryl - posted on 12/03/2009

I feel huge as well, although I haven't actually gained any weight. I started a new job as a PE teacher in Sept and have been a lot more active than normal. I think that I've lost some of my weight and gained some baby weight instead. I didn't show with my first one until I was 6-7 months and I am much, much, bigger this time around so far.

I haven't gianed any weight yet. My dr. said I should only gain between 8 to 15 pounds anyway. I'm a little overweight so I don't get to gain like normal women. Poor me! LOl.. From what I've read your right on track though. You will also show earlier after your first one due to your body already knowing whats going on. I'm sure you look wonderful.
