3rd Trimester

Weight gain average for third trimester?

Hi--I'm lurking and hope you don't mind my asking...for those of you near the end..how much have you gained on average for third trimester? Im up quite a bit and heading into third tri and trying to "guesstimate" my overall gain as I seem to actually be slowing down now. Thanks in advance for responding and sorry to be adding to the numerous weight gain posts!

  • I think it was about 28 weeks when I gained 5 lbs in one week. Besides that time, it was normall 1-2 lbs. I gained 30 over all. ( 5' 6", 125 pre preg)

  • WIth my DS, I gained 23lbs in the third tri (gained 50lbs total).  17 of that was in the last 6 weeks and I was pretty swollen at the end.  With DD, I gained 10lbs in the third tri and somehow didn't gain any the last 5 weeks and had minimal to no swelling (gained 37lbs total).

  • I gained about 3 pounds from 30 weeks onwards. My weight fluctuated +/- 5 pounds on any given couple weeks as my appetite changed and swelling ebbed and flowed. I definitely noticed from 32-38 weeks that I just wasn't hungry OR I'd fill up really fast because things were getting crowded. It was a welcome change from 2nd trimester when I felt like I was constantly snacking because I was always a little hungry. Good luck and try to just focus on looking healthy as opposed to the numbers. I worked out throughout my entire pregnancy so I really never gained it anywhere other than the belly, which was encouraging as the numbers kept going up. At least I could look at myself in the mirror and think "hmmm....well at least the weight is only going where it needs to go!" :)
  • I am not, apparently, one of those people whose gain slows in the second tri. I had gained 15 pounds by week 27 and have gained another 10 already since then (7 weeks.) sadface.
  • Not officially in 3rd tri yet with this baby but with DD, I gained 10 in the 1st part of the 3rd tri but in my last month and a half I ended up losing 5 of it somehow. 
  • I think I gained 2lbs. I've gained 14lbs total, 12lbs in the 2nd trimester within three weeks. With DD1, I gained more towards the end...but I haven't really gained too much with DD2.
