As far as weight gain goes, how much have you gained so far and has it been all belly or have you gained all over or other places as well? [Poll]

Its mostly belly, but my face is a little rounder and I feel like my arms are a little bigger too.

my weight gain this pregnancy is almost identical to when I was preg. with my son, in terms of actual pounds. However, I'm carrying this little girl completely differently. According to my husband, shoulders up you can't tell I'm pregnant. With my son I gained in my face and all over. I was more wide than out in front. With this one, I've had several women tell me that "from behind" they can't tell I'm pregnant. On the other hand I'm also much more uncomfortable, probably because I have all this weight in front and feel like I'm trying to hide a bowling ball under my shirt!

Most of my weight is in my belly, but I have put on a few pounds on my butt/thighs, I think. Everywhere else, I'm still skinny!

You know, in the earlier trimester boards I was really distraught because I was gaining a lot more weight than I was allegedly "supposed to." But now, I'm almost at the end and the weight gain has really slowed. In summary, I ended up going from 123 pounds to 164 ... which is a healthy 41 pounds (and who knows, maybe I'll add 1-3 pounds more). But still, it's funny how our body knows what weight we need to gain and adjusts accordingly. Also, I was really surprised at how the vast majority of the 40 some pounds is somewhere in my stomach area.

I've gained 24 pounds at 30 weeks. Its more than I would like, but it does seem to be all in the belly! None in the face/legs/arms.

I'm up 23lbs so far, and voted "all over" it's hard to tell myself. I think I look like an enormous moose.

Everyone says I don't even look pregnant from behind so I assume that means it must all be in my belly. I had someone tell me that they were sure my A/S was wrong and I'm having a boy b/c of it. Silly old wives tales.

This.

I've gained 30lbs. I wouldn't say it's ALL in my belly but mostly. I haven't gained all over but I tend to gain a lot during my pregnancies. It would be impossible for me not to gain in other places too.

jencastorri · June 2011

Ive gained 15 lbs and Im 2 days over due. I keep telling DH I may fly away at any point because all the weight went to the back of my arms and it looks like fat man wings. Nom nom nom. I know I shouldnt complain, but Im past due...im allowed to.

I've gained 40lbs with this one, 50 with my last one, but both pregnancies I seem to be "all belly" and from behind I'm told you can't tell. My arms do look a little bigger to me, a little fuller in the face, but I am retaining a lot of water and swelling pretty good so it'll be interesting to see how much comes off when I get home from the hospital

Almost all of my weight is all belly, a little bit in my butt & thighs but thats about it. I feel like I have gained so much tho almost 34 weeks, cant wait to not be pregnant anymore lol

hailcamp · June 2011

I mostly gain it in my belly but can tell I've put a layer on all over as well. This is my second pregnancy and the first time I decided not to hold back and ended gaining 50 pounds (went from 120 to 170). I lost all the weight rather quickly just by breastfeeding and eating better. For this pregnancy, I decided I was going to be more careful and NOT gain 50 pounds. So far I've gained 33 and still have 9 weeks to go. I don't think I'll gain the full 50, but it could be close! Just goes to show that part of what you gain is just your body doing what it needs to do. No matter how careful you are.

Jessynlove · June 2011

its mostly in my belly...but edema sure did go to my face, feet, ankles, and hands. but...the swelling isnt severe.

ktaopi30 · June 2011

I have gained 6lbs at 34 weeks. only gained 14lbs my first pregnancy though. Lucky girl who is all baby!

ohyeahdollface · June 2011

Considering the amount of purple stretch marks on my thighs and tush, I voted other. My belly is getting bigger, but my a$$ and thighs are winning!! Everywhere else I am TINY.

MyBun&Me · June 2011

Most in my tummy but, some in my face, arms, boobs (of course!) and a little in the hips as well...

I've gained around 40 lbs. Looks like I swallowed a beach ball but my legs have definitely gotten thicker. I'm probably the only one who notices though.
