Well, I'm at 37 wks. now and have gained approx. 23 lbs. I just read that at 37 wks. my baby's growth slows down. You are approaching the period where LO will be gaining the most weight.
I'm only at 27 weeks and gained more weight than a lot of ppl on here. My doctor said that I'm doing okay, but good grief...I still have 3 more months.
I'm 27 weeks and have gained 23 lbs. I couldn't believe it when I got on the scale at the doctors 2 days ago... I had put on 8 lbs in 2 weeks! I don't think I have been much different with my diet the last couple of weeks so I wasn't expecting it at all. The nurse said that this can happen from increased blood volume around this time so I'm hoping that's what it is...
I'm 30w5d, and I've gained 13 pounds. I'm overweight though, so I don't "need" to gain 40 pounds. With 10 or so more weeks to go, I'm guessing I'll put another 5-15 pounds on.
I had gained 12 lbs at my 28 wk appt...but am overweight & had already gained 10 lbs. during my last IVF cycle. I'm hoping NOT to gain more than 10 more lbs...but I'm not holding my breath.
With DS I gained about the same until now and then another 16 lbs....so about 30 lbs. total...but had also gained about 20 lbs. due to 2 rounds of inj. w/ IUI...the drugs really messed me up!!
every pregnancy is different, my 1st I gained 45lbs overall, my 2nd I lost 25lbs and as of 28 weeks 3 days I'm still down 8lbs and I'm not overweight, but my belly is sure growing even if the rest of me isnt
Re: 28 weeks - how much weight gain?
::raises hand, I'll take this:::
everyone is different.... your dr will let you know if there is an issue...
Everyone is different. ?Do we have the same BMI? ?Doctor's expectations? ?Body type? ?Goals?
No?? ?Then I don't really understand how knowing my weight will help you much.
?
fwiw, I was up 19 lbs at 28 weeks. ?I was up 28 lbs at 35 weeks.?
I gained over 60 with my first and lost all and more 3 months after having her.
This time I am gaining less than half what I did before. 15lbs at 25 wks.
Hmmm, I ran the numbers 3 times in my own extremely scientific equation and came up with 15.8.
