YAY- I gained weight- and a lot of it!!!
WooooHooooo!!! I gained a whopping 7lbs in the pat 4 weeks bringing my total weight gain at 24weeks to 7lbs!! My doc was very happy that I started to gain!! Even with the gain, my belly is still measuring small but he said that tiny people usually do, so not to worry!! Who the hell would've ever thought I'd be so ecstatic to have gained weight?!

YUP- Finally!! I actually was able to go off the Zofran at 15/16 weeks! It took the past 9 weeks to gain back what I lost and then this! My doc was concerned at my 16 weeks appt and he insisted I start loading up on milkshakes and ice cream to help me gain! And tada-it worked! Feels good!!

Re: YAY- I gained weight- and a lot of it!!!
That is so awesome. I am STILL on it at almost 34 weeks! Every time I try to go off it, I'm fine for about 2 days and then I lose my lunch . I'm ok with still taking it, as long as I'm DONE as soon as she's born!!
I'm SO glad you're feeling better. I remember how miserable you were at the GTG last time. Glad to see you can finally enjoy being pregnant now!

Re: YAY- I gained weight- and a lot of it!!!
Marie, I felt the same way when I FINALLY started gaining. But I want to assure you, what you gain doens't mean too much. I was so worried about my baby not growing or being too small.....well....
At almost 34 weeks, I have gained 15 lbs (much of that came on after 26 weeks). But when I had my growth sono at 32 weeks, the baby was measuring very big, 5.8 lbs! So as my dr told me all along, what you gain doesn't always indicate what your baby will weigh and not to worry about it.

According to my 20 week sono i was measuring a week ahead, but then he said my belly was measuring small today! Who Knows!! He said he'll most likely end up doing growth sonos once I hit 30-32 weeks!
Glad to hear you gained too!

I am still only up 7lbs at 30 weeks. I have an appointment in a week for a growth sono so we will see how that goes.
I hope you keep gaining and the lil one gets big and strong!

Re: YAY- I gained weight- and a lot of it!!!
Don't let that small belly fool you. I didn't gain a lot with my second. I was a lot like you that by 24 weeks I finally gained 5lbs and in total 22. My belly measured smaller, my sono's of her showed she was smaller. We thought at most she would be 7lbs. My doc was right on with DS. Well when it came time to push I knew something was up because I had to push harder and low and behold she was 8lbs 13oz.
