Prepregnancy weight ?

Divine0chaos

So my weight has always fluctuated a lot and if course it's doing it now. However tomorrow is my prenatal appointment and when they ask my my prepregnancy weight I'm not sure what to give. Last month prior to knowing I was pregnant I would be anywhere between 109-118 idk if its my scale or what! The USUALLY average however seems to be about 111-113. TIA!

I don't think they ever asked for mine. And honestly it makes very little difference what you tell them if they do ask.

They've never asked me what my pre-pregnancy weight was.  They weigh me at my first appointment and use that weight.

They asked me for mine last time. I give them the range that I usually fluctuate between, and she went from the higher end of it as the base number for my weight gain.

Mine didn't ask, they just took my weight at my first appt. But my first appt was just to confirm pregnancy, no u/s.

Ditto what PP said.  At my appointment they just weigh me.  Actually at every appointment they will weigh me.  I keep track myself because honestly their scale is way different then mine and I'm fully clothed.  I go by my measurements.

My doctor weighed me at first appointment and will weigh me every time they see me.  My weight can be greatly different depending on the time of day it's taken and on a day-by-day basis.  I usually weigh first thing in the morning while naked at home.  I plan on weighing once a week at home and that is the number I will use to base my pregnancy weight off of.

Yeah the ob I will be seeing I saw with my son, and Ido remember them asking my prior weight and they weigh me everytime as well. Thank you ladies I wasn't sure if it was a huge deal prior to my son my body weight never fluctuated this much so it's all new to me.

They recorded my weight from my first appt, which was just double checking that I was pg. With my first though, they did ask me, and I gave them my pre-baby-making vacation weight, which, because our vacation was AWESOME, was significantly lower than my first appt. Oops. I wouldn't worry too much, they just want a good starting point so they can determine how baby is growing.

Give them 115 as an average if you were between 110-118. Or if 115 makes you cringe, give them 112. They just want to track how much you're gaining to be sure it's not too much or too little.

Mine doesn't ask-he uses the first weight they take, but I would just give my weight at the time of my bfp.

Mine  is using the weight from my first appointment at 3w6d. I much prefer using my scale at home where I can take off all my clothes in the privacy of my bathroom, but for now I think I'll just stick with whatever it is there, and I'll close my eyes when they do it.
