OMG

I just got back from the Dr and I GAINED.....9 POUNDS!!! In four weeks. That is insane. How did that happen? I don't feel like I am eating that much more???? I feel like such a pig. She said that I am still fine because my total weight for being 25 weeks in normal but still.....9 lbs!!!!!

Re: OMG

don't beat yourself up - we ALL have weeks like that!

my last weekly visit - I gained 3lbs in 8 days, and then this week, nothing.

Re: OMG

I gained 5 lbs in a week, and freaked out but found out that it was mostly water retention

Re: OMG

I did the exact same thing at my last appointment. I freaked too. It is part of the process and you will lose it after the baby.

I decided my child must have gained 6-7 pounds in 4 weeks and I only gained 2-3.

Re: OMG

honestly, now that I am in my 32nd week, I can tell you it is an ever loosing game! There is nothing you can do, no matter how much you try (unless you are eating sweets and desserts all the time that you can cutt down on). I watched everything I ate, throughout the pregnancy, and watched my sweet intake, and tried to control the amount I ate, and I still gain like a pig, and am HUGE now. There is nothing you can do.

The only thing I wish is that I didn't obsess. In the end, the result would of been the same, I would be HUGE anyway - like I am now.

Re: OMG

SAME thing happened to me-I was doing so well then at my last appt-25 weeks-I was also up 9 pounds in a month!!! I am eating well, am constanyl busy, moving around so I was shcoked. Doc wasn't too concerned though since my bp/urine was fine.
