Weight level out?

natalee215

I was gaining weight like crazy from maybe the middle of the 2nd tri until until just recently.  Is this about the point (35 weeks) when the weight gain usually levels off? 

Believe me when I say that I'm not complaining!  If I don't gain another 5 pounds, that's 5 less pounds for me to have to worry about taking off later!

I gained a lot of weight in 2nd tri and almost nothing so far in 3rd tri.  I'm only up 2lbs from where I was at 32 weeks.  I'm not complaining, though!  I've gained 28lbs overall and I will be happy if that's all I gain!

I was the opposite.  I hardly gained any weight during the first half of my pregnancy, then the second I skyrocketed, I gained all the way up until the day she was removed.  I ended up gaining 30 total.

I was the same as Ashley, but gained about 80lbs. almost 40 of it I gained in the last month.

i was gaining very rapidly in the 1st and 2nd  trimesters (about 1 lb/wk) and now i'm actually losing weight. i was going to the gym too in the 1st and 2nd then stopped for 3rd trimester so not sure what happened.

I guess this, like everything in pregnancy, is different for everyone.  I'm just really hoping that the numbers continue to remain constant instead of increasing for the remainder of my time joinined with Baby C

I plateaued for about 3 weeks after Mexico but now I'm gaining again. I'm at 27lbs gained and if I keep going like this I'll end up gaining around 35lbs total. I'm ok with that.

I hardly gained anything in the first 2 tri's and then gained a lot in the 3rd. I read that typically *most* people level out that last month and some even lose a couple pounds. Try not to stress about it, I gained 45 pounds and lost it all without exercise by 6-8 weeks. If you are eating semi-healthy I think your body is going to gain what it needs to gain.

I'm pretty sure Kim's right - your body's just gonna do what it's gotta do...

I gained all my weight in the 3rd tri - I actually gained 13 lbs over 2 weekly appointments  

I'm pretty sure that's about the time the Shamrock Shake hit McDonald's for St. Patty's season...  And they're all still sitting directly on my ass and thighs...
