3rd tri weight gain

So for the past couple weeks I have been gaining an average of 2lbs a week, I am freaking out now cause I am almost 30 weeks pregnant and up 22 pounds, I only wanted to gain 25-30, there goes that idea....

I just can't put down the donuts, why oh why do I have to eat donuts

Thats me too, plus this week i strarted retaining TONS of water...Strarting tomorrow im cutting out salt and watching what I eat, I have 3 weeks left!!! IM up like 35 now...eeeek

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

I feel your pain. I've been packing them on in the 3rd tri. I think a lot of it must be water retention though b/c even on days when I eat well I seem to gain. Ah well....

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

i gained 80% of my weight in the 3rd tri with my daughter.. im expecting to do that again this time around.

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

i've packed on the pounds in the last 4-6 weeks. i couldnt believe the big jump on the scale cause i didnt gain much at all in the beginning. at least we don't have toooo much time left!

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

i was diagnosed with GD and put on a diet that has me eating 6 times a day (3 meals, 3 snacks, every 3 hours or so). its actually been quite the godsend.

i'm 31.5 weeks and im only up 10lbs. maybe try eating smaller portions more times a day? i still sneak in some sweets here and there but i stikc to whole wheat breads and veggies. Some protein. the diet actually isnt too bad!

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

i think weight gain has a lot to do with me retaining water!!! so dont stress it too much.

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

I think i may also need to walk haha, I do absolutly nothing exercise wise. I eat and sit on my arse all day, since the nice weather is here I am going to make myself go after work a couple times a week.
I was never this lazy lol This morning I felt a teeny bit better though cause the 2 lbs that I was up yesterday is down today, I ate a bunch of cheeze its before bed Sunday night so I may have retained some water from the salt
I
I eat oretty healhty too, cereal with banana in the morning, fruit salad till lunch, then I try to do a protein for lunch, then I snack on sweets till dinner haha, but dinner is usually a meat veggie and starch, and lately has been grilled due to it being nice out.

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

Its happening to me too... I was great my whole pregnancy. The second I hit the 3rd tri... I feel the weight coming on strong. My weakness- Entenmanns.

Re: 3rd tri weight gain

I will be 30 weeks on Friday and I'm up 30 pounds already! I'm gaining exactly the same as I did with my first pg. I gain about 15 pounds each trimester. I'm not worried though cause I lost it all within 3 months the first time. Hopefully it's just as easy this time.
