Weight gain??

Amores0121

20 weeks, about 11 pounds. I think most of that has been in the last month.

Can I add that it seems a majority of my poundage is in my boobs? I have NO clue how big they are as I wear stretchy sporty bras, but if I had to guess, they're DDD or more. I'm kinda interested to find out next time I go and try on bras. I gained 43 pounds with my first, 25 with my second and 60 with my third. At 15# already at 22 weeks I'm well on my way to more than I'd like. Oh well! At Least my husband likes my fat ass!

I don't look at the scale at the dr's office when I go, it's too much anxiety. Anyway, DH loves the big boobs these days and every time I comment on how much I popped out in the last couple weeks he says "well, duh, you're pregnant". Thank goodness for yoga pants, maternity stretchy top jeans and expand-o shirts.

I'm 20 weeks today.  I weighed myself over the weekend and had gained 21lbs, I'm sure it's up another pound by now.  Funny, I've never been able to gain weight in my life and now it's just chonkin' on.

At my last appointment (20w1d), I had gained 5 pounds.  I feel like I'm starting to pack them on now, though.  My belly has gotten a lot bigger in the last few weeks.  With DS, I was up 12 pounds by my 20w appointment.

At my 18 week appt I was only up 3.5 lbs. I feel like a bit has caught up to me since then. I have my 22 week appt next week and am anticipating an additional 4 lbs or so on top of that. We'll see...

Gonna add on here... Has anyone else heard that by 20 weeks you've gained about 1/3 of your total pregnancy weight gain? Wondering if any STM's could vouch for this... I'm sure it's not as accurate as people say but wondering if it's in the ball park

I don't know if this is true or not.  It wasn't with DS.  I had gained 12 lbs by 20w with him, but gained a total of 19lbs by the time I delivered.  I had GD, though, so my diet changed pretty drastically around 28w and I didn't gain anything for quite a few visits.

21 weeks up about 13 pounds. I weigh myself every week and the past month it's been up 2 one week (when I workout more), then down 1 the next (when I workout less and eat more), which makes no sense, lol. But the doctor is happy with overall gain so if it ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess!

19 weeks and down 4 lbs. I have an appointment next thursday. I was last weighed at my 16 week appoin. I lost weight with my last pregnancy as well due to thyroid issues. My total weight gain for my last pregnancy was 8 lbs! That was crazy to me because DS was almost 10 lbs at birth!

blacktie3

a little over 20 weeks and up 8.5 pounds, been steady pretty much from the beginning.

20w and down 4lbs. Not surprising. With DD I only gained like 5-8lbs total.

I'm 23 weeks and a few days. Up 6 pounds total. All I do is eat so it bothers me a little that I haven't gained more. None of the women in my family have gained over 20 pounds their entire pregnancies and it looks like I'm following that trend. Though I started this pregnancy about 10 pounds higher than my "normal" anyway so that might have something to do with my lack of weight gain.

I'll be 23 weeks tomorrow and I've gained 12 pounds. I'm a pecatarian (only eat fish), so I think I'm doing okay. Doc doesn't seem to mind and my iron levels are normal.

As of week 21 baby was already a pound and I know most of it has contributed to my new profound baby boob-job! And let's not forget my thighs too, can't leave them out.

At my 20 week appt on Feb 21 I had only gained 1lb.  I weigh myself once a week and the scale has said I've gained 3 more lbs at 22 weeks :-(  My goal is 10-15!

22 weeks, 23 pounds and I am lovin it

jjbaby14

At my 20 week appointment I was up 10 pounds.  I wanted to weigh myself this morning - the start of 22 weeks but my scale is broken. :-(  I feel like I'm up another 5 pounds atleast....

I'm about 20 weeks and up about 15 lbs, baby is about 10 oz. I just failed my one hour early sugar test and had GD last time, so will have to cut out sweets probably soon. I gained about 40 last time, but baby was born 6.6 so the GD did not impact him. I lost about 20lbs within 3 weeks after delivering my son. I'm content with how things are progressing.

I don't really know how to answer this question - which really shouldn't be that difficult I know. BUT I am 19 weeks and down 2 pounds from my starting weight. That said, I lost almost 10 pounds through the first 16 weeks and I've gained all by 2 of that back in the last 2-3 weeks. I see my doctor pretty frequently it feels like, and she hasn't mentioned any concerns. So I guess I am ok?

19 weeks and up 8 pounds

 

Edit: Pregnancy brain. 19 weeks, not 29

20 weeks and I am up 13 pounds. Not worried at all, some days I eat more,some I eat less. My energy levels are good too, so I have been exercising at least 3 times per week.

Almost 19 weeks and 13 lbs. 

With DD, I gained 43 lbs and lost every single one breastfeeding. Hoping to be that lucky again.

how is that working out for you?? (pescatarian) .. i am one also (was for 5 years.. at least before this pregnancy) .. i just didn't think i'd be able to get enough protein with the fish restrictions.. i still prob eat more fish than i should but i've added some chicken back to my diet for the time being.. do you continue to eat over the "recommended" amount or do you supplement with other forms of protein?

To the ladies who have gained five pounds or less and drs aren't worried...how much did you weigh when you got pregnant? Maybe not actual pounds but under weight, over weight, normal weight? I started out on the under weight side, not a lot but some. My dr has been all over mr for gaining weight so I was kust curious

TallMomma29

23.5 weeks and 13 pounds here. I was a slow gainer at first and then gained 8 pounds since my last appointment 4 weeks ago. Making up for lost time I guess ;-)

splaster79

I'm overweight...so that's why my Dr isn't concerned about me only gaining one lb at 22 weeks.

CandC13

I will be 23 weeks tomorrow and have probably gained about 20lbs by now....its odd though because first tri I gained about 10-15 before the 12 week mark and then nothing for 5-7 weeks....no eating habit changes and BOOM another 5-10 when I slept one night. Just hoping it evens out in the end.....I know "slow and gradual" weight gain is what they are aiming for but I'm not questioning it. If I needed 5 pounds that night then so be it :-)

huggabunch

21 weeks still down 4 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm on my way back up.

Jerrica1432

22 weeks today & I've gained 8lbs so far

Missfree34

19 weeks and I've gained 3lbs. Only gained 20 with the first but he was a premie so I didn't gain as much as I think I would have if he went full term.

22 weeks and up 8lbs

I feel so relieved to see this post. I'm with baby #2 and in one month gained 9 lbs and a total of 14 lbs at 19 weeks and 2 days. With baby #1, I wasn't at this weight until 23/24 weeks. I'm baffled because I started at a lower pre-pregnancy weight with Baby #2. Plus I had morning sickness up until week 14 or 15. Just wondering if anyone has had this happen where it continues consecutively? In the next 4 weeks, will I gain another 9 lbs? I try to eat healthy but I know once I had my appetite back, I started to munch more and now it's showing. Eeek!!

shanaynerz

20 weeks with twins and I think I've gained like 15-18 pounds. It's all belly and hips though. No one's said anything to me about it yet so I'm not even thinking about it. Figure I'd like to gain 40 lbs. this time (gained 30 with DD).

kweaver123

22 weeks and only gained 3lbs. I was pretty sick in my first trimester and list some weight. But now I'm finally starting to gain back what I lost. My doctor is concerned at all. Baby looks healthy.

20 weeks and up 9 lbs since conception. Up about 4 since the doc gave me a goal range of 11-15 lbs. No side eye from the doc yet :-)
