3rd Trimester

Anyone suddenly gain a lot at the end?

I am 34 weeks, in the last week I gained 3 pounds!  Nothing really has changed regarding diet/exercise.

Did this happen to anyone else?

  • I gained 6 pounds at my 34w appt. I blame it on Christmas though. Embarrassed

  • With #1 yes, and thats normal, the baby is gaining the most weight at the end of the pregnancy, 1/2 a lb to 1 lb a week.

  • Welcome to my world! If you have good genes and a fast metabolism you WILL lose it all and maybe then some after the baby.
  • when i was pregnant with my first I gained a little bit the first few months then i didnt gain any untill my last 3 months. I gained 15 pounds in 2 months! I*m doing good so far..only gained 3 lbs this month..lol only like 6more weeks!

  • YES! I have weekly appts already because my blood pressure has started to get a little high. At my 32 week appt I gained 3 lbs and at my 33 week appt I gained 3 more!! Thats 6 lbs in 2 weeks...not cool!
  • last week at my 35w appt. i found i had somehow managed to gain 12lbs. in 2 weeks! (after having gradual, "right on track" weight gain the first 33wks.)  i didnt change my daily activity or diet.  and i also have zero swelling of my face/hands/feet.  and i dont have GD.  so both me and my OB were like:  WTH?  she put me on a somewhat "diet" to see what would happen.. do not drink your calories, no processed food, cut back on milk/juice intake.  i did just that.. i cut out almost all sugar, ate just about everything fresh and healthy, drank a ton of water or sugar free sparkling bevs.  went to my 36wk appt. this morning and found i had dropped 5lbs. since last week.  i dont know if it was water weight or diet or both?   
  • I gained 14 lbs. from 30-37 weeks with DD!
  • With my first, I had only gained about 5 lbs up to probably 28 weeks or so...I gained about 20-25 lbs total so you do the math, ha.  Everyone's different (and even this pregnancy is different...gained a lot more at the beginning this time).  My DD was 6 lbs 10 oz and almost a week overdue.  I ate the exact same all pregnancy.  It's just how it happened. 
  • I have the opposite problem. I have lost three pounds over the last month, and that is with eating high calorie food. DD is getting bigger, so I guess I don't care THAT much, but I would rather gain the pound or two a week and skip the worry altogether.

  • I've gained 5 lbs over the past 2 weeks.. Feeling like a beached whale today. I guess stuffing my face full of chocolate cupcakes isn't helping!

    Damn you girls with good genes and fast metabolisms.  I'm insanely jealous.  Crying
