Just got back from the OB and...

I've gained 4lbs in one week! Yikes. Now that I've gained 32lbs and I'm only 27weeks, I feel I should start doing light exercise on the elliptical. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

I had a rude awakening at the dr. this week too! I have gained about 30 pounds so far but up to 18 weeks I had only gained 6 pounds and then I ballooned out. They still told me not to worry about it that it was fine but want to be able to loose all this after I have the baby so I started getting worried. I eat when I am hungry though, I figure if I am hungry the baby must want to eat.

Your body will gain what it needs to gain. Don't worry, you've got plenty of time after baby to lose it all.

I gained 50 with DS and about 30 so far with DD

I gained 10lbs in two weeks a while back. I think I'm around the 37 lb mark now. I gained 50 with my son and lost it all. No worries!

Sul06

Phheewww, thanks girls for the reassurance! I just feel like the more I put on, the likelihood of me loosing it ALL is impossible. I guess I was wrong (thank goodness!) Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated!!!!

If your doctor is not concerned I would not worry about it.  I am a pretty healthy eater and was (up till 34 weeks) going to gym doing some light/moderate workouts and still packed on the pounds.  I am at almost 50 pounds now.  

My only comment from my OB yesterday was "just think how awesome it will be to lose all of the weight after delivery."

I gained like that 2 weeks in a row, and haven't gained a pound since. I think it evened itself out...

I've been having issues with my heart having going into v-tech so I had to be put on inderal and have to check the baby's heartrate weekly until she is born.

ah, and here I was thinking you made a mistake and it was 4lbs in 2wks (which would've made you feel a whole lot better LOL)
