2nd Trimester

HA! I came to this board to ask about weight gain at 19 weeks....

I didn't want to post in the post below as I have gained 14 pounds..not 0! I'm feeling huge right now as I was a little bit overweight when I first got pregnant. Anyone else there with me? Has your doc given you a hard time? I'm nervous for my appt. next week....I feel like I have stayed active and tried not indulge too much but it has still just packed on this time - ugh.

Re: HA! I came to this board to ask about weight gain at 19 weeks....

  • I think 14 lbs is normal weight gain for 19 weeks. 

  • LOL!!! Please, you're fine, absolutely fine!

    My BMI was 24.9 or something right before I got pregnant - so I was a bit chubby. As of 20 weeks, I've gained 10 lbs.

    WIth my first pregnancy, I started out 10 lbs lighter than I was this time around , and had gained 20 lbs by this point - and was up 38 lbs when I delivered at 33 1/2 weeks. I had borderline GD though, changed what I ate and my weight gain slowed down a lot.

    If you're worried, eh, watch the carbs, eat more fruits and veggies, and try to indulge just one or two times a week. Otherwise, don't worry unless your doc says something.

    And kudos for staying active!! I think that's way more important than keeping the lbs under a certain number.

  • At my last appointment (at 18 weeks), I had only gained 6 pounds but my doctor said that is right on track. When I told her I thought it was normal and healthy to gain 25-30 pounds during pregnancy she said that is true but no one is a freak if they gain a little less or a little more. Since you've gained 14 pounds at 19 weeks along, I'd say you're perfectly normal! Seriously, don't worry about it - it's for a good cause! :) 

  • I'm not 19 weeks but I started this pregnancy borderline overweight and have put on a wonderful almost 50 lbs. so don't worry about it!

    I'm not quite at 19 weeks but I've gained about 12 pounds so far, and I'm sure I'll be where you are by the time I get there. My doctor said my weight was good, but I became a bit concerned when she told me that ideally I should gain 15-25 lbs (and I started out near the lower end of my weight range)! I can't imagine only gaining 15 lbs the entire pregnancy!!!

  • I was neither over or uderwieght pre pregnancy. Probably the smaller side of normal if I had to guess. I am 18 weeks this week. I had gained 9 lbs from my 8 week appointment to my 12 week appiontment and then 8lbs more between 12 weeks and 16 weeks. I have no idea how much I have gained since last time I went. 17lbs in 16 weeks felt like a ton to me too. My Dr. didn't say anything but I'm always scared he is going to put me on a diet! Well see April 13 how I did this month!
