How much weight..

do you gain at each app't??

I did not gain much weight in the beginning. At my January app't my doctor told me I went up 4lbs in a month and just to watch since it was a lot in a month. I had an app't last Wednesday and I dropped 3lbs (I had the stomach bug). I just weighed myself and I'm up 4lbs. Is it possible that I gained 4lbs in less than a week!? I'm getting nervous that I'm gaining too much weight too quickly. I'm not even eating much..since Friday I've had horrible bloating.

ETA: I'll be 31wks tomorrow & I was up 14 pounds at last weeks appointment.

Re: How much weight..

Do not worry about your weight. You will gain what you need to for the baby and to limit food or try to not gain is VERY BAD for the baby.

Enjoy yourself.....this is the one time we are allowed to be fat. It will all come off after the pregnancy I promise.

Re: How much weight..

Not much... I am 35 weeks and up 13.3 lbs. Not by choice....I throw up almost everyday and cannot keep much down...but Dr. says I am checking out ok...

I eat what I can to make sure the baby is ok

If you can eat then eat and enjoy!

Re: How much weight..

I'm 35 weeks and up 11 lbs. I've been eating a lot of small meals and snacks. My baby is so big and up under my ribs I can't eat much at once with out feeling like I'm going to hurl. As long as you and the baby are healthy that's all that matters. I had one visit where I gained 3 or 4 lbs and then a couple in a row where I remained the same.

Re: How much weight..

I am almost 36 weeks and I am up 28 lbs. And I do stress about it sometimes because I started out overweight to begin with and would have loved to have kept it under 15...but....well I am looking forward to having this baby born so that I can resume zumba and bike riding when I can and all of that.

Sometimes in our lives we have complete control over how much weight we gain. Sometimes it is harder to. I track my food every day. I keep a very detailed food journal and write down everything that I eat. And STILL I gained 28 lbs. Sometimes I feel like my body just gains without me even trying, and then I remind myself that I have a little life growing inside of me and it will all work out in the end!

Re: How much weight..

as long as baby is growing healthy dont stress about it. At 33 weeks i have gained 15lbs. I have never had morning sickness. Doctor says my bump is coming along perfectly.

Re: How much weight..

I'm 35 weeks and up 25 lbs. I gained about 30 with my previous 2 kids, and am on the same pace with this one.

In the beginning I gained nothing. Then second tri I gained about a pound per week.

Re: How much weight..

I just came back from dr and I gained 4lb in 2 weeks
Dr said thats about the most he would want to see in a two week period and as long as thats not happening ever two weeks
Im 31 weeks now...total weight 14lbs so still not so bad with my 1st by now I think I was up 40lbs!

Re: How much weight..

i don't even want to know much i'm going to weigh later on.. i'm only 14 weeks, i gained 4 lbs from my first to 2nd appt (which was only 2 weeks apart), today was my 3rd appt (after another 4 weeks) and i'm up another 3 lbs

Re: How much weight..

I gained the bulk of my weight between weeks 19-23 and then again between weeks 31-35. Probably 2+ lbs a week during those times and then hardly anything most other weeks. At 36 1/2 weeks i am up about 22 lbs. I think sometimes your baby/body goes through growth spurts and it's natural to have a few weeks where there is a big gain. Just keep taking care of yourself and your body will do what it needs to for the baby.

Re: How much weight..

As of 24 weeks, I was up 14 lbs. I have another appt on the 1st and I bet Im up 20 now. Don't worry about it. Everyone's body handles it differently regardless of how you eat.
