What's Your Weight Gain?

km0022

I know everyone gains weight at different rates, but I was curious where everyone else was at:

1.  What baby # is this for you?

2.  How many weeks are you?

3.  How many pounds have you gained?

Good heavens. I am definitely on the major weight gain train.

Baby no. 3. 14.5 weeks. 10 pounds [even though no one seems to have any issues with this].

Baby #1
15 weeks
About 7 pounds

Everything I read says I've gained "too much" - my doctor hasn't said anything (he knows I'm really sensitive about my weight, as I gained a lot after my two losses). But it's on my list to ask him and I am trying to be more active (it's been hard when I've been so sick and exhausted)

10-15 lbs (depending on water weight). It's totally weird because I haven't been eating any differently than pre pregnancy and my portion sizes haven't increased either.  Previous to pregnancy, I was still losing weight. Ah well.

This is baby number 2, when I got last weighed I was 16 weeks and I was up 7.

16 weeks today

I actually have no idea, because I don't own a scale.  I think I was up a few pounds at my last appointment, we will see where I'm at next week.

10lbs is totally normal. Everyone gains at different rates. https://www.calculator.net/pregnancy-weight-gain-calculator.html

1.  What baby # is this for you?

2.  How many weeks are you? 

3.  How many pounds have you gained? 

1. #3

2. 16 wks tomorrow

3. 3 lbs as of my last appt on 7/23 (14 wks,3days)

In the last week I've decided not to weigh myself between appts (or maybe I will every other week at most). It really screws with my head. This is my final pregnancy and seeing the #s on the scale go up really makes me  unhappy, and I don't want to be unhappy. I want to enjoy my last pregnancy. I know how to eat healthy and balanced; I know what I should be eating and how much water to drink. I'm going to give this a go and see how I do not obsessing over a number on the scale that is inevitably going to just keep getting bigger.

Well this thread makes me feel like shit.

Baby #1

Lost 2lbs and it's not from m/s, maybe it's just from eating healthier

blondie10m

1.  What baby # is this for you? 2

2.  How many weeks are you? 18w

3.  How many pounds have you gained? 5 lb, I'm pretty pleased with this so far.  The pregnancy week by week book has recommended guidelines for weight gain after 17 weeks in case you are curious if you are in their range.

It is completely normal. I'm at 17 weeks and I'm up 8 lbs. with #1. The doc is very happy with that for me (and so am I - yay for baby bumps!), so unless your doc is worried, you should be good!  There is a pretty wide range that is "normal" at this stage, especially depending on beginning weight and how sick someone might have been during the first tri.

As of my last appointment at 12 weeks, I had lost 4 pounds, but I think I've gained a couple since then, so probably down 2-ish?

Baby #1

Up 3-4 lbs depending on time of day
Pretty sure most of that is my new pregnancy wonder boobs!

My dr is fine with this gain so far. I was overweight to begin with and he did say he only wanted me to gain 20-25 lbs during the pregnancy. Seeing any gain is hard for me. I worked really hard over the last year to lose about 30lbs.

this exactly.

@MaryBB77 - I personally didn't gain on the scale, but I am losing muscle mass and I look like I gained 10-15lbs. no big deal

Baby#1
13 1/2 weeks

8lbs (no m/s, which I think is one of the big differences between those who gained and those who haven't)

Wow... I'm not feeling so great about my # either now!

1. Baby #1

2. 15 Weeks

3. +5 sometimes 6lbs

It was inevitable for me.  I complete changed my workout routine to something way less intense. I feel like gaining weight immediately was inevitable.  That's what I'm telling myself at least... couldn't be the pop tarts I now eat daily. No way.

I hate this thread. My midwife assured me I am gaining perfectly. I was so dismayed because I've been working out a lot.

I'm actually suprised at how low so many people's weight gain numbers are.  BUT ladies who are gaining - keep in mind, you don't know anything about the "reasons" behind the weight gain (or lack there of).  Perhaps the person started overweight and is only "supposed" to gain 15 pounds their whole pregnancy?  Or maybe they had/have bad m/s and can't keep anything down?  Honestly, if your doctors/midwives aren't worried, don't worry about it!

For those of you stressing about their weight gain - It sounds to me like all the numbers on here are completely healthy.  I know weight is a sensitive issue, and it's very difficult to make a sudden change to the mindset most of us have that we shouldn't ever gain weight. We spend so much time worrying about where we fall compared to other people, but that's not going to get you anywhere. Comparing your own experience to someone else's without knowing everything about their history is just torturing yourself, and it's not going to help you enjoy your own experience.  It makes me so sad to see people being so hard on themselves about weight gain that is perfectly healthy for them and their babies. STOP BEATING YOURSELVES UP!  %-(
