Elders - dredded weight post

I know people hate weight posts but I have to ask. Flame if you must.

Have you gained a lot in the last bit of pregnancy or has weight gained slowed down? I started off a little overwight and am ok with my current weight gain, but am hoping not to gain anymore - a girl can dream. I know everyone is different, but I am just trying to get an idea.

If you gained less than 15 lbs this pregnancy, please don't respond. I am insanely jealous of you but happy you have been so fortunate.

I won't tell you any numbers....

When I was pg with DD, I had gained all the weight I was going to gain by the time I was 30 weeks.

Every pregnancy, and every body is different.

I haven't had any weight gain in the past few weeks.

But someone posted about this earlier today: here

I was really careful during the beginning and middle of the pregnancy, but after 36 weeks I just kind of stopped caring. I've probably gained a little over 30 lbs right now, with 10 of those being in the last few weeks.

I have gained 34lbs. but was only 98 pre-preggie. I hope I don't gain anymore either and it seems like things are starting to tapper off...we will see!

I am the same way.. Cant stand when people say they have only gained like 15 lbs.. I have gained almost 35 and the last 3 or 4 weeks I think it has slowed.. Only about a 1/2lb a week or so.. Not too bad.. Last week I didnt gain any weight and almost fell over.. LOL!! DOnt worry I just keep telling myself it will come off.. Then I pray!!!

I have gained steadily then at my 32 week appt I had gained 7 lbs in 2 weeks! Since then I have actually held steady and not gained a pound, but overall I am up over 40 lbs! Not fun but my Dr thinks most is fluid retention. I wouldn't focus on the scale as much as what you are putting in your mouth. Make healthy decision and it should help come off faster after birth.

My weight gain has slowed down the last month. It might be partly b/c my stomach feels so crowded right now that I can't really eat that much anyway.

I didn't gain much until I was about 27 weeks. Between 27-32 I had a huge growth spurt and gained a lot!! It has since stopped and I haven't gained anything in 2 weeks now. I'm hoping it'll stay that way and this will be my max!

It's been spotty for me but a lot has to do with the massive amount of water I'm retaining. Every week the scale says something different and usually the number is a lot lower when my feet aren't the size of balloons. But the weight has definitely tapered off from 2nd tri.

I gained a ton of weight in the last few weeks because of fluid retention (I ended up with pre-e). I gained 50 pounds and am down about 32 now.

I had the biggest weight gain between 27-32 weeks. Then it slowed for a couple weeks to not more than a 1 lb per week. Last week I gained 2 lb. I wish it would just stop at this point because I just hit the goal I set for myself this morning, but I highly doubt it. My will to eat healthy is also starting to go out the window. I just want a brownie sundae damnit.

With my son, I gained a LOT of weight in the 3rd tri (I think 20 lbs). I believe I gained 10lbs in 2 weeks alone.

Try not to think about it. In my case, it was water from swelling (I developed pre-e) and I had lost 20+ lbs by the time I left the hospital.
