Um...I gained 8lbs in one month.

What the hell Teal?!

I haven't been eating much more than normal. I've been drinking some calories, but I didn't think I could gain that much weight in 4 weeks! At my 12 week appt, they said I gained 5, so that's 13lbs already.

Ugh, I'm in a shame spiral right now. Here's a picture of me:

Could it be muscle weight along with the baby? I know you work out regularly, and judging from the bump photos you post, you look to be in pretty good shape. 

I have no idea, I'm only at the gym 2 days a week now. I need to reexamine what I'm eating and make sure my water intake is sufficient. This freaked me out!

I was wearing boots on the scale and I DO have to poop, plus I had eaten breakfast already, so that's like...15lbs right? =]

I have seen your HDBD pics, and you look freaking amazing!! And you are growing a human!! I found this chart that explains what/where the gained weight is going.  Makes me feel better about it!

Between week 13 and 16 I gained 7 lbs. I freaked out!! But it has slowed a lot since then. My eating habits had not changed at that time either. Don't stress! Your body will do what it has to. And I agree, you look great in all your pictures. Oh and I lost 3 lbs just by taking a good poop after my appt. So it is probably that too!

I did just poop about 5 minutes ago, and that felt like 5lbs!

I gained 5 lbs over the last month and I'm certain it's from my splendid diet ::wipes cheeseburger grease off my face:: My OB didn't care about the gain.

I always take my shoes off for weigh in. maybe try that!! Seriously though you look great I wouldn't worry about it now especially if you already think you are eating pretty good.
