In honor of Fat Tues...let's talk weight gain

MBZ · February 2010

As I sit here eating a sugar cookie I am reading all of the posts about gaining too much weight. While my OB has not yet said anything about my gain....it is quite ridiculous at 23 lbs. I didn't gain until second tri, so that is quite a feat! I don't think I eat a lot, but I do eat a lot of sweets, which I don't normally allow (and I used to work out). I remember after DD was born early I had wished I had ate more sweets when pg, bc now that time was gone

That being said she was a 4lb 9 oz 32 wkr Embarrassed

I am waiting to get yelled at by my OB.

My 16 wk appt. I was up 18 lbs already!! My dr. and nurse both made jokes how I like to be +6 or 7 instead of most women at +3 or 4 but didn't say they were concerned. I voiced MY concern to my Dr. because I feel like a heffer (and hear over and over again, "you don't even look pg!!" argh!). Dr. said she felt I was a little underweight before pg (which she never told me before and according to everything online I was within normal range) and won't be concerned until 20 wk appt.

That said, I feel like it is totally out of control!!

I hit 20 pounds today Embarrassed

But... in my defense there were a lot of leftover cupcakes from my shower that HAD to be eaten!

At 20 weeks I still hadn?t gained a pound. I had kind of a check up a couple weeks ago and I was up 2 kilos (like 4 pounds) I will find out next Monday what the grand total is so far though. I don?t pass on my sweets either, I enjoy them daily!

At my appt. yesterday at 31 weeks 3 days, I was up 22lbs. I think it's pretty good considering I don't hold back on what I eat. I've been recently getting full pretty quickly though.

I've gained about 23 pounds. I was, however, 17 pounds underweight to start out with, so my doctor isn't worried.

I'm up 8 or 9 pounds. I eat when I'm hungry, or really nauseous. I am underweight, but won't be for long!

I was up 20lbs at my 22w appt. Worried, very worried, although my Dr said I'm doing great..

With my 2nd pg, I was up 15lbs at my 13wk appt despite throwing up 4-5xs a day for 5wks; we found out at the appt it was a missed m/c and I just think the hormones were completely messed up; and I actually had to work it off, it wasn't just bloat! That was impressive for me. My weight's doing weird things this time. The week of my bpf I jumped 4lbs, have been steady, then last week dropped 5lbs for a day, and now up 4lbs again. Whatever....

I am up 9 pounds already :O( I blame it on the girlscout cookies

coolteacher79 · February 2010

I am up about 20-21 lbs. Ironically, after being snowed in all last week and doing nothing but bake cookies and then eat them (well, I did do other things too

) I lost 3 lbs at my last OB appointment. Weird!

I gained weight quickly but seem to have stabilized. I'm up 9#'s at week 12. I'm probably considered underweight though so I guess it's ok. No Dr. has said anything to me yet!

My total gain so far is a mystery to me, at my last appt they weighed me on a diff scale and had me at only 15lbs up from day 1, the appt before that I was told I'd gained 16 since the last appt, which would've put me at +20 total. Sooo I'm going with the 15lbs to date as that was the original scale, and see what happens when I switch to the OB next week. With DD I gained somewhere btwn 55 and 60lbs by the end, no one yelled at me, but I felt like a pig.
