I finally stepped on the scale!!!

Up 28lbs in 31 weeks! With my first pregnancy i gained a total of about 32 lbs.......

Does anyone know what the average weight gain is the for last 2 months????

Re: I finally stepped on the scale!!!

I gained 22 lbs and im 29 weeks! Seems like we're on the same pace.

I think everyones different though - some women can gain all of their weight the last 2 months, and other women gain it gradually throughout and gain the least in their last 2 months. I say it doesn't matter - the best we can do is try to eat healthy and give the baby the right nutrients. I know I feel best when I try to eat something small every 3 hours. Although I cant always do that - the best we can do is to try our best. We can worry about the weight later

Also remember the baby gains the most weight the last 2 months! So some of the additional weight you gain is his/hers, and from water retention!

Re: I finally stepped on the scale!!!

everyone is different. I did not gain much my last trimester. I put all my weight on in the beginning.

It will all come off if you want it to. I am 12 wks PP and hae 5 lbs to go. Most of it came off the firt week after delivery.

At this poitn I would not worry about weight!

Re: I finally stepped on the scale!!!

At 30 weeks I was up 23 lbs. I seem to be gaining more now then in the beginning. If I keep going at this rate of 1.5 a week. I will be up 38 lbs.
