Weight gain...

Mrslove78Mrslove78 member
in 3rd Trimester

How much have you gained?  If it's your second+, how much did you gain with your other LO's?

I gained 60LBS during my last pregancy and had to shut my eyes to get my weigh in done, this time, I've only gained 18 this time!  OMG, I'm a happy girl. 

(I know it's because I had way too much ice cream during the 1st pregnancy.  These days with a toddler in the house, enjoying ice cream isn't possible without sharing, and if you have to share, why even bother!)

    This is my 1st and I've gained 50.. Hubby takes me to Olive Garden a little too much.. I just said "Hey! this is my NO CARB LEFT BEHIND EXPERIENCE!" But I haven't gained any weight since I've enter the 3rd trimester though!

    About the same rate of gain with both.  The first time I gained 27 total, this time I'm around 24 so far.  With DD, at 34 weeks I was right at 24 pounds too, I just slowed down a lot after this point.  Somehow I don't think that's going to happen this time, but we'll see!

    With the first I gained 40 lbs. but I was 19 and had a very low BMI to begin with.....people actually commented on how much healthier I looked with some meat on me!  This one I was overweight to begin with and have only put on about 3 lbs. so far....I'm VERY happy with that :)

    30+ for me so far. I'm on the GD diet now so I prob won't gain TOO much more. This happened last time and I gained 37 total. Not bad! And I lost it all before I got preg again, so I'm not too worried about it.

    With DS1, I had him at 41 weeks and gained 53 pounds.

    This time, I am having twins.  I am currently 34 weeks and as of today have gained 27 pounds.

    I've gained 22 lbs. and gained it all in the 1st and 2nd tri's!  Since I've been in the 3rd, I haven't gained anything, which is freaking my DH out b/c I eat like a cow!  He thinks I should put on more weight- which is fine with me!!!

    With my first I think I gained about 33lbs. 

    Right now according to my Dr, I gained 21, according to me 26.

    And at this point with my first pregnancy I was at the hospital laboring.

    I gained close to 50lbs with DD1, lost 30 and gained back 20 before I got pregnant again so I started out this pregnancy just 10lbs. under what I ended my first pregnancy.

    I've only gained around 3-4lbs. this time, and it's not for lack of trying. I've had morning sickness the entire pregnancy and just no appetite compared to last time, plus with chasing a toddler I've been far more active. Baby is measuring perfectly and my OB isn't concerned since I was pretty overweight to begin with. I'll still have a lot of work after this pregnancy to lose the weight I didn't lose the first time.

    I'd trade another 50lb weight gain for no morning sickness in a heartbeat though. I'm miserable and so ready to be able to not wake-up feeling hung over or ride in a car for more than 20 minutes without getting sick.

    So far about 30 pounds. I was a bit underweight to begin with, so I am aiming for 35-40 total.

    I gained 15 lbs this time around. The first time was really unknown because my DD was born at only 28 weeks, micro-preemie, and I had severe pre-E and HELLP. People really have a hard time noticing my pregnancies and have a back flip when I say oh yeah im 8 months preg. Everyone is different.

    I'm not really a 3rd tri-er yet but I'm bored and my doctor's due date puts me at 26wk4days so I'll play. So far I've gained 16 pounds but the rate has sped up A LOT in the past month (I started slow)  and I seem to be gaining close to 2 pounds a week most weeks so I'll probably hit 25 pounds by 31/32 weeks which is the total that my doctor asked me to aim for. I don't think I'm going to stay under 25 by any means. I'm hoping I can rein it in and stay close to 30 but I don't know! It's a runaway train at this point!

    I'm curious to see what I'm going to weight after he's here.  I know I've still got 2 months to gain, but I really haven't gained anything (per se).  I was/am overweight to begin with so what I've lost, I've gained back and it's balanced out.  My doctor isn't concerned at all because I measure on track.

    He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be.  He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
