if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

You were heavy to b egin with whay have u gained. I am almost 27w and gained arouind 6 pounds. I didn't weigh first tri but pretty sure I gained a few then. So let's say 10 total. BUT why does nothing fit and I am getting a nice new crop of stretch marks???? Seriosly when not pg I can gain 10 pounds in two weeks easy and still wear same clothes. Look not complaining just don't understand this body of mine. If u are fat so to speak have u gained a little or a lot so far tia!!!

Re: if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

I am 24w today and at my last appt I was up 8 lbs. Maybe it isn't so much gaining weight, but your body re-shaping itself- hips widening, uterus getting bigger- all the stuff that needs to happen for the baby.

Re: if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

I was heavy to begin with and I have gained so much I am so upset about it. I am 32 weeks now and have gained 23 pounds and the doctor had told me to keep it under 15 when I got pregnant. And over the past 2 weeks I've gained 4 lbs...it is coming on more quickly.

I was doing Weight Watchers for 18 months before getting pregnant and I have been tracking everything that I eat, even while I have been pregnant. I have added a few points in at my doctor's recommendation but have been counting my points and so it makes me sad that I've been so careful and yet I have still gained weight!

Re: if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

im 5'4 and was overweight to begin with (talking about 25-30lbs over).

im 38 weeks and have gained anywhere from 11-13lbs, depends on the day.

my OB said she was very happy with the gain. I was about 10lbs lighter when I got pregnant with my first, and gained 20lbs with that pregnancy.

to be honest, i have a thyroid condition (Hashimoto's Disease) and the only time my thyroid BEHAVES is when im preggo, which is part of the reason I havent gained much. that, and my appetite seems to decrease when im preggo...)





ETS
i got almost NO stretch marks with my first pregnancy (only my boobs because they blew up) but this time around i did get a few on my belly)

so even though I gained less weight i still got some. maybe you had a week or two of rapid baby growth, KWIM? listen, stretch marks arent so bad. they fade. part of the gift that keeps on giving

Re: if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

I went up about 21lbs from pre pregnancy weight. At two weeks post partum, I have lost almost 20lbs. I did'nt do anything but suffer (migraines) and lose my appetite and breast feed.

Re: if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

19 weeks - 1 lb. so far.

My beer gut is being replaced with a baby gut.

I still fit into my pants if I don't wash them.

I'm actually going today to get a belly band.

Re: if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

22 weeks and I gained 8lbs and I feel like I'm a stuffed sausage in all tops but I think a lot of that is due to my boobs which seem to get bigger all the time too. I gained 28lbs with dd so I'm hoping to gain less this time. I gained most of my weight with dd between 33-37 weeks but I was on bedrest so that may have helped me gain more

Re: if u haven't gained much weight BUT...

im 15w3d and havent gained anything. I was worried so I asked my doc and she said its ok. Not that I want to gain much weight since I started off big but just wanted to make sure it was ok for now. I still fit into most of my pre preg pants. I bought a bella band that I use with some pants. I just feel sad right now because I dont " look" pregnant yet and I really want to. But I know it's not gonna happen for a while

I also still fit into most of my pants as of last week and I am 23 weeks. Don't worry about not showing yet. I just started showing within the last 2 weeks or so. Because I was big to begin with the weight is showing in my upper stomach. My upper and lower stomachs have not formed one baby belly yet so all the clothes are laying on me awfully. I'm at an awkward stage where maternity clothes look awful but my regular clothes don't fit anymore. It is torture in the fitting rooms.
