Have to celebrate my weight gain!

ldoeberling

Hey ladies! I haven't posted before but I feel like I just have to today! After going to my 31 week sonogram and checkup, I've gained a total of only 15 pounds!!!

I am a plus sized mom and at the beginning when my doctors told me to only gain between 15-20 lbs I thought that was a totally bogus and unattainable goal. Especially considering this is my second kiddo and with my first I gained like 60 (in my defense I was taking on water like the titanic!) but I've stayed at my goal so far! Every other appt I go to, they tell me I have actually lost weight! So hopefully by the end of this pregnancy I've only gained like 25 max. I would be so proud of that!

Baby is 3 lbs right now, and I know I'm delivering at 37 weeks via c section due to other medical concerns, so I hope he can pack on some pounds fast. Only 6 weeks left baby boy!! Chub up!

Anyway, congrats fellow mamas!

Glad you met your goal. You should feel proud that your health and your babies health are where it needs to be. Best of luck

So, you've never felt moved to post before, and have just now done so, at month 8, to talk about your lack of weight gain? Cool. .

Well if you plan to gain 25, you're exceeding the 15-20lbs your Dr recommended by 25-33% (depending how you look at it). I wouldn't be too excited about that... Just sayin /:)

@MRSclarke08‌ totally agree with you as a member of the chubby hunni club-our goals that we are trying to keep are a bit more on the private side haha.

Good job !! I weight as much as DH !! But hey it's all worth it. Sacrifices get made for healthy children. And they don't stop after birth I promise. Be happy for someone else. It feels good

Maybe you and OP can PM about how awesome your weight gain has been? Just a thought.
