34 weeks gained 38lbs. How much is everyone else gaining?

misgin1980

I'm kinda concerned I have gained 38 and probably have a month to go. I am feeling good no medical concerns.... No complications... But 38 seems high to me
Especially since they say to gain between 15-25lbs the whole pregnancy....

There was a long thread about this just yesterday I think. You'll get more responses by searching for it.

About 20 lbs

rebeccadc

I am 38 weeks and I have gained 40lbs. I started out really overweight, so of course this weight gain is concerning but my doctor hasn't said anything about it. Everyone is different

nursekatie47

I gain 35-40 lbs with all my pregnancies regardless of what my weight was to start.

tpete12

45 was the max number but I've started to lose.

ForeverEverAfter

I'm 36w today, gained 33lbs. I gained 42 with #1 and lost it all while BFing (and ended up underweight on a high fat diet) so I'm not stressing, just enjoying my ice cream

I'm 36 weeks and 4 days and have gained 25 lbs.

Taekarate1978

I'm 35 weeks and had gained 16 pounds, but this week I lost four.

jaclynburkett

I'm 35+5 with twins and I've only gained 12lbs total. Dr says I am simultaneously losing weight while babies are gaining. He is not concerned about it though, so I guess I'm not either. I'm all babies!

Mufflerlove

My advice is to not worry about it. You've already gained it and can't diet so don't spend time worrying about it. With my first I gained 40 and this time I'm at 27 at 38 weeks.

chelseajeanene

I'm officially 30 lbs higher then my normal weight but since the day I found out I was pregnant I've gained 13 and all this trimester. F this last trimester lol I thought I was doing good

WDDCH

I'm 37 weeks and have gained 10.
With my first pregnancy I gained 60!

I mention the latter because I don't want someone to feel badly, thinking they gained "too much", by comparing themselves to others. Each pregnancy and woman is unique. And the weight comes off if you work on it. So keep your chin up and know that in about two months or so you'll be able to slowly get into weight loss mode.

keehank1

36 wks and have gained 55lbs - people still only think I'm 4-5 months preggo . I'm also 5 10' and was underweight before pregnancy

melco19

Up 30lbs total with my first, and currently 37wks and up 32lbs with this one

Natasha238

34.3 weeks today and exactly 0lbs gained. I lost 15 during the first 3 months but have gained it all back.... I have a month and one more week to go..... I'm sure I'll be going over, but sooooo not like it. Don't care though- the way I look at it- my body is doing what it needs to for my baby. I've had my time, now it's all about baby:)

AmandaNacora

35 weeks and I've gained 10 I was up to 16 and then a week later back down to 10. I actually worry about it and my husband is concerned also. But I was overweight to begin with so my dr is actually okay with it. Every woman and every pregnancy is different. As long as you feel okay and healthy, I wouldn't worry about it

callistosmile

35 weeks and gained 36 so far. My doctor never even brings up my weight, I just know what I started at and take a peek when they weigh me.

yessirio

34 weeks n I gained 15lbs...

Dessy2k14

I'm 36 weeks and gained 35 pounds

rachellegiacco

34 wks and up 20lbs but with my son I gained 40 total. I have no idea what happened? I stopped gaining around the 37wk mark with my first.

shelbydd

37 weeks, I've gained 9lbs. I was also overweight pre-pregnancy, however. To my understanding overweight and obese woman actually tend to gain less weight during pregnancy than woman who are not overweight.

pregat40

35 weeks and 20 lbs. GD diet helped me to lose 5 lbs...

CRooney89

37 weeks and I have gained 40 pounds. Doctor isn't worried about it but I've decided to stop looking at the scale at my weekly appointments

Elizabeth043086

I'm 34 weeks and I've gained 40 (last time I checked).  I gained 35 with my first and I was pregnant for 36 weeks.  I gained 70 with my second and I was pregnant almost 42 weeks.  So, I'm doing ok this time.  I lost my weight very easily last two times, so I'm not concerned at all.  My blood pressure is always good and all that, so I know I'll just be heavy for a little bit longer and normal in no time.

angholc10

36w4d gained 15 lbs. All baby.... Our bodies are incredible the way it knows what to do.

imsoexcited915

30 lbs and I'm 37 weeks. Haven't gained and actually ost 2 lbs since 28 weeks since following GD diet and I was super swollen in my legs then while working - dr said I easily lost 10 lbs of fluid - thus no gain in months.

beckygoetz93

I gained 50 with my first. This time I'm 35 weeks and I've gained 26 lbs. Much better but I was hoping to only gain 25 the whole time. I figure with 5 more weeks I can't gain too much more so I'm not worried about it. you'll be able to get it off quickly! Especially if you nurse and eat healthy/ excercise.

ksami

I'm 36+2 and I've gained 35lbs. I'm not sure where it's going since all that's grown is my belly (my boobs haven't even grown that much). At first, I was really paranoid about my weight. I had just lost 40lbs and then decided to get pregnant without thinking I could possibly put on that much weight. I was so wrong! I've come to terms with it though. I am healthy and baby is healthy. That is first and foremost and once the baby arrives, exercising/healthy eating and breast feeding will be key to drop any excess weight.

sararegine

I'm 34w+1 and have gained 31 lbs. With my first I gained a total of 50lbs. Agree with PP, every person and pregnancy is different so don't feel bad!

kelbel90

I am 37 weeks today and have gained 25 lbs. I gained 48 lbs. with my first, she was born at 37 weeks and 2 days. I gained 35 lbs. with my second, she was born at 40 weeks on the dot.

irenejean

I'm 37 weeks today and have gained 45 pounds. I was concerned about my weight gain a few weeks back too, but I'm not gaining as much per week as I was a month or two ago. The weight gain might slow down for you too! At this point, I'm not worried about it and neither is my doctor.

MW5280

34w4d and I've gained about 20lbs so far. With my first, I put on at least 40lbs and he was born right at 40wks.

Rachelsbaby
