Lets be brave... weight check in

mama2many

Got on a scale the other day and I'm think up a pound or two from the weight I'd lost, so still under pre-preg weight. But I'm starting to get annoyed with my family constantly mentioning that they think I'm looking thinner than usual, and that my belly doesn't look as big as last time. Oh, good grief! I'm heavy to start with, do you people REALLY think I want you commenting on my body size - pregnant or not?

Down somewhere between 8 and 10 lbs from the start, but haven't lost or gained anything in the last 6 weeks.

You guys are killing me!!!19 weeks and I have gained 18 pounds! I was pretty small before and it is all in my belly and boobs (up 4 sizes!!!!) I gained some actual fat first tri (put on 10 pounds because bagels were the only thing that helped the morning sickness) but I walk an hour almost everyday, do yoga, and move around a lot. I feel like a boat!

I'm 19 or 20 weeks (depending on who you ask) and I'm down 3 lbs. Yay morning sickness that never ends! My DH and mom keep joking that only I would turn pregnancy into a weight loss. 

I do expect the weigh to come though, I seriously eat like crap because it's all I can keep down.

20w 2d: - 4.5lbs. Lost six pounds in the first 12 weeks, gained 1 pound from 12-16, and then another .4 from 16-20 weeks.  I don't know how I've LOST weight when I feel soooo huge! (Seriously, my boobs are monsters.)  But the doctor says the baby and I are perfectly healthy!

JaymeeNicole

I have gained 3 pounds.

 

But I lost almost 15 due to terrible m/s. I'm just now getting out of the negative.

BriAZ

21 weeks today - Ive gained 1 lb so far from prepreg weight. However I did loose 4 lbs from my starting weight due to m/s so technically i've gained 5 lbs.

LyseeH:

20 weeks (almost 21) and I've gained 13lbs so far....All in my belly, thighs and @ss!

This is my situation, exactly.  I'm glad I'm not the only one.

18 pounds, but my midwife is really happy about that gain for twins.

married2m

18 weeks, up 9 lbs

natalie921

I'm 19 weeks and have gained almost 20 lbs.  Makes me sad but i know instantly in the first month i put on about 10 pounds from having to eat constantly to not feel sick.  And i wasn't eating healthy  I figure if i gain the suggested 1 pound a week i'll give a total of 40 which is bad but not extremely bad!

20weeks 2 days, up 7 lbs according to the doctor's scale today.  Up 10 lbs. according to my scale at home.  I like the doctor's scale much better :-)

bunnymay

@ 21 weeks, I was up 17 lbs. I was devastated, but my obgyn said I was fine, and "you're pregnant". 

Buttercup011

I'm 21 weeks and up 7 lbs.  I was a little underweight to begin with and my doctor told me to eat ice cream.  Can't wait for the sugar test.  Yikes!

orangecrush32

I am up 11 pounds. I weighed myself Wednesday and was only up 6...these past two days have not been good. haha

orinjuse

19 weeks... 9lbs!

ModernJune

20 weeks today and I am up 9 - the dr says thats great, and said I should be about 1 pound a week at this pound but I am aiming for less...

ilenegrace

17w6d up 1 pound

ObLaDi

18 weeks, 6 lbs.

I think the moral of this post is that there's a wide range of normal. 

peacelove&mama

I'm up about 13lbs, all in my belly! Going to cave and buy a few pairs of maternity jeans today. My jeans are getting uncomfortable as heck now, even undone.

JLSmith124

I'm 20.5 weeks and I've gained 13 lbs. I've gone up 2 bra sizes and can't fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans anymore. Not worried though, I typically lose all the weight with BFing within 2 months.

mrsz2008

18 1/2 weeks and still down 2 lbs, I'm very happy about this since I'm overweight anyway. With DS, I was already up 10 lbs by 18 weeks, and ended up gaining 40 lbs total.

Don't we have sweet husbands I told him that I'm up 15 pounds at 21 weeks and he said he honestly can only tell from the side by boobs and belly. I am still exercising and eating a pescatarian diet consuming about 1700 - 1900 calories a day...so that's all on track. I also asked my mom to see what her pattern was, and apparently she gained most of her weight in the beginning and middle of her pregnancy and then slowed way down for the third trimester. Hoping this is my pattern.

19 weeks and I believe I have gained 14 lbs. I'm not really concerned. At this stage with DD I had gained about the same amount. I gained 38 total with her and afterwards I lost it all and more.

Almost exactly this.  

StefandTodd

21 weeks, down 3 lb.

With baby #1, I was probably up 15-20 by this point.  Every person, every pregnancy is different.

Alliebug126

Well, at 18 weeks i was down two pounds from my prepregnancy weight, but who knows if I have gainned any in the past two weeks. I don't weigh myself at home for fear of over-doing it, so I just moniter my weight through doc appointments.

ambrlynn8

21 weeks, up 14.5 lbs. I am questioning the accuracy of my doctor's scale, though, because the morning of my last appointment I also had a biometric screening where they use the older doctor scales, i.e. non digital, and I still weighed as much as I did 3 weeks ago. That's a whole 5.5 lb difference.

 

I choose to believe the scale with the lower weight is correct.  My husband agreed... I married a smart man.

bluefirekitten

I'm 20 weeks today and don't have a scale at home, but at 18 weeks I was up about 14lbs. It's all breasts and baby; doctor seems just fine with it though and says everything is going like it should. *shrug* 

Stillharbor

Exactly 21w and I've gained 2 lbs.  (My OB is kinda cool, he keeps making the comment that I haven't gained any weight.  Aww, he's so nice!). But then I had weight to lose from fertility treatments.

Rei Dunn

20 weeks, gained 9 pounds.

 Ladies, don't feel like slobs or what have you! Weight gain is different for all folks! No big deal!!!  

samiam052

I'm 21 weeks and down 1 pound according to my scale at home. The baby measured right on track though (11 ounces at 19w4d), so my doctor wasn't worried about it. I also look pregnant so I guess I had a lot of weight shift- but not sure from where.
