Let's talk about weight...

I would never be ok IRL talking about weight.. but how much have you gained?

I am 5'8, started at 128 lbs, I was 168 my last appt. I have gained 40 lbs so far and hopefully thats it! Everyone says I am all belly, but I feel huge!

I'm 5'7 and started off at 143 when I first found out I was pregnant. I weighed myself yesterday after having the stomach flu for 2 days and i'm 184 now. So I've gained 41 pounds so far and I have 3 weeks left. I don't really feel huge, i'm not all belly and have been told I look "small" for someone who is about to "POP". I won't complain though.. I think its all in my thighs at this point they're HUGE.

I started at 203 and delivered at 211. Which is about what I weighed when I got married last May. I'm now about 185.

I worked out everyday before I got pregnant and was a size 4 at a 135 lbs (my boobs and butt weigh a lot lol) I gained 60 lbs! I swear I was not pigging out the past 9 months but I have not been able to work out at all because of the way the baby was positioned on my diaphragm I could not breathe. I had to have my ribs realigned three times in 2nd tri. I dread stepping on the scale, I cannot wait to go back to the gym and feel normal again. I'm disgusted at myself for how much I gained.

5'5.

Started at 120.

Currently at 173.

You do the math. 

Not happy.

Technically I guess I'm all belly (both from objectively looking at me and by what people say) and the fact that I'm still wearing many non maternity things, but it doesn't matter,  I don't like it.  Salt in the wounds every time I go to the gym, which granted, it's gone down since I started (down to maybe 2ce a week from every day).  Cruel almost.

Sigh.

ive also gained around 40lbs. but it was so weird bc ive had diarrhea the last week or so and i went to my last appt and gained 5lbs in a week!!! my dr was concerned with my diarrhea and weight gain and did a bpp on the lil man and he is ok... hopefully it is just water weight from having diarrhea.  if i make it to my next appt and dont loss weight or gain more than a lb or so...ill be so defeated!

That's how I feel, I can't wait to be skinny again! haha 

Angel0423

I was up 30, but as of today's NST I'm down 2, so 28lbs

I'm 4'11"

I was never skinny, about a size 10/12, but this is the worst I've been in a while.

I gained about 10-15 lbs last summer when I was pregnant and had a miscarriage. Then I gained about 35lbs pregnant with Katherine. I've only lost 15lbs. Yep that means I am still about 35lbs heavier than I was one year ago and I am up about 3 sizes.

I've like to lose that 35, plus another 5. Since we have Mother's Day, my Birthday, and DH's college graduation all in the next two weeks, I don't think I will focusing on my diet much. I am giving myself till New Years to lose it all. I figured I gained it over a year, I can give myself 7 months to lose it all!

Raquellyo

I'm also up about 40lbs and have 3 weeks to go.  I really hope it doesn't get much higher...it's just so depressing.  Of course, I know I have been eating a lot of snacks that I don't need. 

 Everyone says that it is all belly -- I look normal everywhere else (no swelling even), and my husband says I don't even look pregnant when he looks at me from behind.  I guess that's a good thing.

I have gained the same amount as you have, but I'm shorter, I'm 5'5''ish

I had my weekly appt. today and doc said that ideally he looks for 30lbs, but as long as I don't gain more than 40lbs he isn't worried.

KateLuann

i'm 5' 3" i started at 120ish gained 22lbs, ended at 142. i'm now 2 weeks post partum just got on the scale and weigh 118 lbs... the weight has been falling off and i have literally done NOTHING.. i started out a little heavier then my normal 114 lbs (so i guess i could say i gained 28lbs in all )

my point.. don't worry it will come off

JasonKristen

I weighed 125-128 when I got pregnant (not really sure since we don't own a scale).  Well at my last doct appointment I weighed164 so that is up pretty much 40lbs! Everyone says its all belly except for DH of course (he lets me know I have a little more junk in the trunk!)

fluffybuns

I've gained about 45. I was really trying to gain less this time, but it's about the same as what I gained with DD, and I lost it all quickly after she was born. Hopefully it goes the same this time!

je2161

I'm 5'8" and I gained 42 lbs, with less than a week til my due date. I started off at about 140 lbs, and I hope all this weight will come off easily. Everyone says I carry it all in my belly!

fraservalleybride

about 12 lbs or less i believe

kacelle

I'm 5'6", and I was 98 pounds pre-pregnancy.  I'm 130 now, so I've gained 32 pounds (all belly)!

What about boobs?

aschleser

I was 142 prepregnancy (I'm 5'3), and am now.. 184? I think - I try not to look too closely, the Dr doesn't mention it.  I'm right about 40 pounds, but I've been sitting on my a$$ since Feb 3rd on modified bedrest... so I attribute it to that and the fact I never had morning sickness/vomiting, so my weight gain started RIGHT away!

From 32-34 weeks I gained 7 pounds... yes, 7... but the next week at my 35 week checkup I was down 4, lol.  Guess it was fluid!

I still fit into the same size as before, just maternity now.  According to hubby I don't look pregnant AT ALL from behind.. he says he sometimes doesn't think about it, and I'll turn around and he's like.. holy cr@p where did that come from! I'm also told I look small for 9 months, but baby is right around 6ish pounds.

kimberlymautz

I've gained about thirty pounds *gulp*, but I was also put on bed rest at 28 weeks and was just taken off on Tuesday, which was my 38 week appointment. I wasn't tiny when I started off (I weighed 183) and being on bed rest for so long, my doctor thought that I would have gained more (my current weight is 214) but lucky for me I still fit in all of my jeans and everything, although they don't fit as smoothly as they did before. I really hope I can work my butt off after I have my little girl though so I can lose all this pregnancy weight, and even more than that with any luck!

As of today I've gained 15 pounds.  Hoping to keep it under 20.  But regardless, I'm fine with it.

What about boobs?

Okay, and boobs!  But they haven't grown too drastically (34B to 34C). 

kerrbear72

I was overweight to begin with and am up 28lbs right now. My goal had been 25 total but that is clearly not going to happen. While I'm not thrilled about it, stressing it isn't going to stop it or help it.

JessJ222

I am 5'7, started out around 153 and am now between 172-176.  I have been fluctuating around those 5 pounds since 32 weeks.  Ever ytime I think I gained weight, I go back down and start the cycle over again (I weight myself almost every morning).

I am also working out 4-5x/week at fairly high intensity so that has helped keep my weight gain level.

knew it, liar!

I noticed today how glorious my boobs have become. I am hoping this means good milk production.

MrsD1

I'm 5'6", started out 108 pre-pregnancy and am now 145, which was actually my goal weight by 40 weeks.

ksales31

I am 5'5" and started at 140. Im now at 170 in the mornings but 175 at night after all the swelling I have collected thoughout the day haha. My Doc has me down as having gained 30lbs so far. I hope I don't gain too much more before baby is born but if the baby needs it the baby will get it lol 

ShanKB

I have gained about 40 lbs so far, but what scares me is that about 15 lbs has been in the past 3-4 weeks. My OB isn't concerned, but I am. She thinks it is a lot of water weight, but I've been noticing that alot of my maternity pants recently started getting tighter. oh... I am about 5'4" and started out around 130.

EJChapman123

Im 5'7 and started off heavier than I had ever been at 160 pounds (Im much more comfy at about 135)

Now im at 178 - so only 18 pounds up, which Im happy and comfortable with.

I eat better and take better care of myself pregnant, and the rest of my body is less bloated now than before I got prego.  Im hoping in the long run, I end up back around 130/135 pounds.

Heather & Nayt

I started WAY over weight to begin with and my doctor wanted me to be extremely careful with my gain.  I started this pregnancy at 248, I lost 30 lbs between first and 3rd tri and as of Monday I am 239. 

Bakes4u

I'm 5'7 and the day I found out I was pregnant I weighed 189 I am 216 now. I am not going to apologize for it or feel bad though. I will lose the weight after LO is born and because I weighed so much when I got pregnant (way more than the healthy weight for my height) I will just focus on losing another 30lbs off of the 189.

andigurl

I'm 6'1" and have gained 45 lbs so far with about 3 weeks left to go.  More than i'd like, but I exercise for 60-90 minutes everyday, feel great and have had no complications so I guess I just have to suck it up and deal with losing the excess after the baby arrives. 

robbie3982

I started at 130 and was 159 this morning, so I'm up 29 lbs so far with 2 weeks to go.  I gained 38 with DS (he came at 39w1d) so I'm proud of myself.  I think it would be less though if I hadn't lost all self control with sweets in the last few weeks.

 

ETA:  I'm 5'5".

tokenhoser

I'm 5'7"; I started at 150 lb and I'm at about 172 now. I'm pretty sure it will come off without too much effort this summer, between breastfeeding and just going back to my normal eating habits. I can't really claim any secret to why it's only been 22 lb - that seems to just be what my body wanted to do. I joke with my doctor that if I could bottle the secret to this pregnancy, I'd be a millionaire. Overall, I feel relatively normal aside from the part where I don't bend in the middle any more.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you caught me.    But MOSTLY belly. 

CanuckFan03

I'm with most of you 40 ladies.  My appointment two weeks ago I was up about 38 pounds (36 weeks).  I got really upset about it, but haven't changed anything. At my appointment yesterday I weighed about the same (I think .2 of a kg less).  So I'm kind of hoping I've stopped gaining... but we'll see. Three weeks to go.  I know people say it will fall off, but it is quite stressful being much heavier than I ever have been before.  It makes me feel better that lots of you ladies are at the same place.

ToBeMrsC6907

I'm 5'10, started at 160 and at my apt today I was 189.  So I've gained 29 lbs, and I'd really like to keep it as close to 30 lbs as possible.  Lots of people have also told me I'm all belly and I don't even look pregnant from behind. 

With DS I gained 50 lbs 

Aniegbuna

I'm 5'6 started out at 120 lbs and i'm 145 now. I have about 2 wks to go so I am okay with going up to 30 lbs. I am very active normally (side job is teaching aerobics) so I am not concerned about losing the weight. I really look mostly the same except for the belly of coarse! My thighs and butt are bigger but I am okay with that and actually hope I keep some of those curves post pregnancy. DH loves my new butt!

McAllie5

6'0", started 185, lost 15 lbs in first tri (NOT trying to), now at 208. It really sucks being back in the 200s after my 2 year long weight loss journey, but I know it's for a good reason and hopefully it'll come off quickly after LO gets here.

calm_angel_2003

i started out way way overweight compared to everyone on here. I was at 288 pre pregnacy and when i had LO i weighed 272. now at almost 4 weeks post partum i weigh 257 as of this am at the dr

jeffrae
