The swelling is ridiculous! I'm a little bit ahead of you but they estimate my baby weighs around 7-8lbs right now and still gaining so I'm sure it could be that too.
I think weight gain mostly has to do with water retention right now....I've been pounding the watermelon, cucumbers, and water to flush it out of my system. Seems to be working. No weight gain at my appt yesterday, and I for sure didn't eat the best in
Totally normal! They'll check your bp to make sure you're still healthy but I've totally had the 8lb/2 week gain already once this pregnancy. Comes with the territory I guess.
Thanks all - I was freaking out a bit. When the dr came in, she said it was 6 pounds, and that it is probably all water weight and a baby growth spurt. She said everything is totally normal, and to chill. I am thankful for an awesome dr
Yeah... my weight gain has been all over the map this pregnancy. I went three weeks gaining only 6 oz and then over one weekend managed to put on 2 lbs. I think a lot just depends on fetal growth spurts, coupled with whatever water you retain,
