How did your weight come on throughout your pregnancy?
So far, I gained about 7lb in the first and 10lb in the second. I haven't gained anything in the third, maybe b/c of killer heartburn. I was on the low end to start so I probably need to gain another 8lb at a min. Just curious about how it worked out for others!
Re: Your Weight Gain Pattern
As of today I've gained about 14 pounds total.. give or take a few pounds I guess. I'm actually somewhat confused as to how this happens, but some days I will weigh myself (in the morning always) and I will have gained 2 pounds.. but the next day or so afterwards I will weigh myself again and I will be back down 2 pounds?? My only guess is that it's water weight .. I'm living in Florida so I figure the heat/humidity doesn't exactly help me keep water weight gain at a minimum lol...
I think every woman's body gains weight differently, (and in different places .. mine is in my behind/thighs .. lovely isn't it) and as long as it's a healthy weight gain then I'm sure our bodies know what is a safe amount to gain :-)
I have gain 15-17 so far. 15 as of this morning, but last week was up 17 so I may have just lost some water. I have gained 11lb since 12 weeks, according to my doc so 4-6 in the first tri. I expect to stay under 20 at this point. My doc is very happy with my weight considering I exercise daily and eat healthy. H e said not to make myself sick by over eating (I was a little concerned at first), have faith in my body, and the baby takes what he needs.
I gained about 3lbs in the first trimester, and then have continued to gain about a lb. a week ever since. So at 30 weeks, I've gained a total of 21lbs. With about 10 weeks to go, I'm hoping to top out around 30lbs.
With my last pregnancy, this was the same pattern I seemed to follow as well, although I seemed to gain about 2lbs a week for the last couple weeks. I gained 37 lbs total.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
I didn't gain any weight during the 1st tri, and I was up 11 lbs at week 24, 17 lbs at week 28, 23 lbs at week 32. I'm continuing to exercise 4-5 times per week, meaning about 30-40 minutes on the elliptical and some light arm weights. I'll do this as long as I can- I'd like to stay under 35 lbs- we'll see!!

I gained a pound a month for the longest time until about 3 weeks ago. now its more like a pound or 2 a week.
I am up a total of 18 pounds and really hope it doesn't get much higher. I am a big girl and really don't relish the idea of pushing over 225 at delivery.
// I love you too. //
My OB doesn't seem concerned, and I think in my family women tend to gain most of the weight in the last two months, so I'm not freaking out just yet, but I would prefer to have gained a little more by now. Baby was measuring great at my anatomy scan, but I'm not gaining anything, and my bump is really compact still, so I can get worried if I let myself dwell on it.
