weight gain at 29 weeks

amessec · February 2010

Just curious how much you have gained? I've gained 19 pounds so far and my dr said that she expects me to gain about 12 more. She didn't seem like it was bad or anything just wondering what everyone else is doing?

I've gained 22 lbs at this point, and my dr hasn't said anything about it so I'm assuming it's normal!

I'm 28 weeks and have gained 15 so far. I was 5'4 and 129 pre-pregnancy.

I have gained 20lbs... my doctor didnt say anything about it

Lauryn216 · February 2010

I've gained around 25 at this point. My doctor said I'm still in the 'normal' weight gain category. I'm allowed to gain up to 35 lbs, so we'll see what 2 more months does to me

I'm 29 weeks today and am up 12 lbs. I have an appointment on Friday and will ask if my doc thinks this is ok. LO's kicks/punches are pretty strong so I think he is gaining just fine Smile

I must be very naughty, i'm up 35 pounds already!! Luckily it's all in my tummy...

My Dr. sucks, she never even discusses weight gain w/me! When I get on the scale they don't say anything. I assume she'd say something if I was putting on too much, she did one month but then I did better the following. I think I've put on AT LEAST 25-30lbs so far...ick! Oh well. I'll lose it eventually. I'm pretty sure that most of my weight is in my legs, they are like tree trunks! And my @ss too!

At 28 weeks I had gained 13lbs as of now I have gained 18lbs. Last pregnancy I gained 30lbs in total so looks like I am on right on track to gain close to the same.

25 pounds in 33 weeks so far..

I'm 28 weeks and have gained 19 lbs. My doctor said it's a normal weight gain and I should be gaining about 1lb a week now. I don't really worry about it since i'm still in the "normal" range.

My Dr. never says a thing about weight gain to me either. I asked one time and she said ideally they want you to gain between 25-30 pounds, anything over that is more "mommy weight" than "baby weight." Lucky for me it's in my belly i guess!

27 lbs, yikes. No one has said anything to me about weigh gain so fair, either, I like it better that way. After losing 80 lbs in college I'm obsessing over gaining enough on my own without someone commenting on it. The weird thing is, if I don't work out for a few days I start losing weight....the weeks I jog I jump up like 4 lbs. I've got to be retaining fluid somewhere :P

DASHSKIDADDLE · February 2010

At my 29w appt last week I have gained 16 lbs total.

FutureMECC · February 2010

Um, like 35 pounds which is definitely 10 pounds or more on the high side. My doc hasn't said anything though because the extra weight is because I have twice the amniotic fluid I should.

countrymom11 · February 2010

I am 29 weeks and according to my scale at home I have gained about 20 lbs. My doctor and nurses don't discuss weight gain with me unless I ask either. To those people that have only gained 15 ish lbs...did you have morning sickness for awhile? I did not have any morning sickness and the weight I put on right away was in my chest area. Just curious if the morning sickness people don't put on as much right away because of all the fluids and food they're losing.

katater · February 2010

14 lbs.

Yes, I had m/s pretty bad and was down 5-7 lbs, so if you do gain from lowest point, I'm up 19-21 lbs. I also have gained *significantly* less at this point in my pregnancy than I did with DS, though I don't feel my eating habits or activity level has changed. As in I was up close to 30 lbs at this point with DS! With my first pregnancy, I gained a ton in the boob area right away, gained a lot in my belly right away, and elsewhere...It seems like this time around my body knows hwat it is doing and already has the infrastructure, so it isn't piling on weight like before. I was within 5 lbs of my pre-DS weight when I got pregnant this time.

Becky19 · February 2010

At 29 weeks I had gained about 19 pounds.

MrsDeHav · February 2010

Wildcat - that is the cutest picture of your bunny. I've always wanted one, but I'm allergic to them

I've gained 26 pounds at a little over 27 weeks. More than I wanted, but I'm not really worried about it. My doctor hasn't said anything about it, but their records have me at gaining 5 pounds less (I gained 5 pounds before my first doctor's appointment). I exercise 3 times a week and don't eat too horrible, so I'm not sure there's a whole lot I could do about it anyway!

MelonieK · February 2010

Nine pounds at 28w 4d. Dr. says I'm doing great and I'm "all baby". I sincerely hope LO isn't 9 lb, though! I'm only 5'0" and running out of room now.

g8trkim · February 2010

I was up 15 lbs at 29 weeks and gained 5 pounds the 2 weeks after that so now I'm at 20. She said weeks 24-30 weeks are big gainers and I will probably not gain so rapidly now. She said she doubts I will gain over 25.

AmyLee11 · February 2010

I was at 22 lbs at 29 weeks. I'm hoping I gain another 10 max, but I hear water retention can be a b!otch!
