Weight gain??

jennp1979

How many weeks are you and how much have you gained?

At 21 weeks, I was up 13.5 pounds.  I had gained 6.5 pounds in that last month.

My next appointment is next week, so I sure as hell hope I haven't gained 6.5 pounds this month!

I am 20 weeks and have gained 5 pounds. My Dr. is not happy with me.

So at the doc's office yesterday afternoon (20w3d) - I was up a total of 19lbs but as of this morning I have dropped 4lbs .... How is that possible you ask??

My hypothesis: I'm thinking their scale was broken, my clothes were heavy, I had about 50oz of water so far that day AND just ate a huge egg & cheese burrito. 

Yep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My doc told me I gained 9lbs in the last month but said not to worry. Only if it happens in consecutive 4wk spans. So good luck with your appt next week! Make sure to wear light clothing

20 weeks and about 7ish lbs. No idea how - been eating like crazy and look huge. And no, I am not a naturally skinny lucky person - I always struggle with my weight,  I keep expecting to get on the scale, see it up 10 lbs in a day and go "ohhhh there you are".

23 weeks tomorrow and 7lbs

22 weeks. I've gained 5 lb so far. I'm actually getting concerned because I gained those 5 lb in week 16-20, and now I haven't gained any more. In fact, I lost one of those pounds. Has this happened to anyone else?

I think I'll go with yoga pants, sans bra and a light tank shirt.   She wasn't concerned.  To be fair, I was eating a lot of crap last month.

19 weeks 4 days down 47 lbs. Don't judge, I have hyperemesis gravidarum and eating is a hit or a miss. It's stressing me out because this can't be good for baby. Also I'm restricted on alot of what I can eat. I've had this with every pregnancy but this is the worst ever. The Dr set of goal of 3-5 lbs gained and a weight check in 2 weeks.

I weighed myself today and I have gained 5 pounds...but honestly it goes up and down. One day it'll say 5 the next 3 so who knows. My Dr. has been giving me the business about it though. All I can do is eat the way I should. If your Dr. isn't concerned then you shouldn't be. Just make sure you are eating as often as you should and maybe try adding some calories.

January Bride

21 weeks today and I've gained about 13 pounds. 

Pinksundrops

I'm with @csmith0085 I was starting to freak out with how much I've gained too! 20 wks today and up 10 lbs from my highest weight pre pregnancy. From reading these sounds like that's average? Still seems like a LOT more than I'd gained by this time last two items

VTKatie

20 weeks, 4 lbs. the doctor is totally fine with it.

hgtvmom

I'm 22+ weeks and still down 10 pounds from starting weight. But, I was heavy to begin with, so that's some of it I'm sure. I fluctuate about 3 pounds up and down, depending on my ability to poo. Ob is not worried, though doesn't want me to continue losing.

Who knew that pregnancy would be my best weight loss plan...

At 20 weeks, I had gained 13.5 lbs.

noragerman86

I'm at 22 weeks and have gained 15 pounds

ashcross

21 weeks and a total of 16 lbs, 7 lbs of that was in the last month. My doctor said it was fine and she wasn't going to worry and neither should I. She said its normal and I was a healthy weight for my height before and it's okay for me to gain. All I can do is exercise and try to eat right, which I do so I'm not going to let it stress me out.

20 weeks and Im up 12 pounds

So far I'm in the lead for more poundage than weeks. SWEET!! 

TwizzyG

20 weeks 3 days. Still down 2-3 pounds, but I was overweight to begin with and baby is growing perfectly...so no worries!

email2ash

I lost 6 pounds in my 1st Tri and now I am up 2 from my starting weight at 22 weeks. I'm not sure whether to count that as 2 or 8??

PregsMcSnoozalot

22 weeks tomorrow and I've gained 12 pounds.  10 of those pounds were gained between weeks 9 to 14.  I dunno how the heck you explain that, but the docs aren't worried   

alohababy14

At 23 weeks, I'm up around 15-17 lbs.

ahjahbaba

22 weeks and up 30lbs. Thanks to my type 1 diabetes and constant low blood sugars which equal juice and a snack every time. Whether I'm hungry or not. Ugh
At least it's leveled off a bit now

allardr

Forever I was only up like 3ish lbs. At last appointment I saw I was up 14lbs!!! Definitely a lot of it in recent 3-4 weeks. 

So, Week 20, up 14lbs.
