Weight From One Day To The Next

in 2nd Trimester

Has anyone been a lot heavier one day than the day before? I literally am 4-5 pounds heavier today according to my scale. Can that all be just water weight. I guess I'm having one of those days where I just literally feel like a blimp... not that it will go away anytime soon.

    I only weigh myself at the doctor, but in the past I've done a WeightWatchers program and can definitely vouch for big fluctuations in non-pregnant women too! Try to weigh yourself in the morning before breakfast every day-- the timing and consistency of what you've eaten (or not) will give you better comparative information.

    Probably bloat. You're better off weighing yourself weekly, on the same day each week, first thing in the morning after you pee but before you eat. Your weight will fluctuate on a daily basis.

    mine is pretty dependant on my constipation or not.  Sorry if that's TMI, but its true.  I can go days with nothing.  Even with eating extra fiber.  It kind of just sits in there until its ready.  Then I feel like I lose a few when I do go.

    They say water weight can make you fluctuate 5 lbs per day. I also agree with the constipated post.

    I have noticed this too! Yesterday I weighed myself and was up 4lbs, That would make 8lbs in 3 weeks...Then today i was back down 3lbs. I am definitely going to try to switch to once a week. I chalk the fluctuations up to constipation and water retention. I have a lower belly that wont go away that i know is baby, but i am still getting really really bloated, so i know that that is part of the issue for me.?
