2nd Trimester

Weight Gain

I am going to be 20 weeks on Thursday. According to my scale at home, I have already gained 18 pounds. I have a small frame, and was 120 when I first got pregnant and now am 138 (I am 5'7). People tell me that i'm 'all belly' but where in the world did 18 pounds come from??  I dont feel swollen, and my rings still fit, so I doubt its fluid?

Is there anyone else who has a small frame that is gaining this much weight this fast?

  • I wouldn't worry about it. 120 at your height is definately on the thin side. Probobally just your body adjusting for your baby! :)

  • I wouldn't worry about it.  You're doing just fine!  I was 115lbs when I got pg with DD and gained a wopping 45lbs by the end, all belly and all gone after 3 months.  Try not to worry too much about the numbers during pregnancy, maybe put away the scale Wink

    I am in the same exact boat. I started off at 118-120. I'm 5'6 and am 20 weeks today. So far I've gained 18lbs. It's really depressing, but I used to work out hard and think I'll be able to drop it pretty fast. On a positive note, my weight gain has started slowing alot. I gained alot in the 1st tri.
