Ladies, how much weight are you up?

Sept1799 · January 2012

I went yesterday to the OB and got my weight gain at 37 weeks. A total of 26 pounds. With dd I went up a total of 30 lbs, so I am hoping I can come in a bit less this time around (even if its a pound, I think I would be happy).

So ladies, spill it...how many pounds have you gained at your last apt?

Jillibean85 · January 2012

31 lbs so far... 6 wks to go. Last time i gained 32, so I will obviously pass that. But I'm not too concerned... Last time i lost all of the weight in 3 weeks (10 lbs of it was just the baby!), so I'm hoping it just falls off again this time around.

avalovesart · January 2012

35 lbs at my last appointment.

nonoemily · January 2012

LOUD and proud, 70lbs.

My Midwives just keep saying, that's great! (And I think, "really?")

Am I thrilled? No, not really, but I've been eating well and walking everyday, so whatever. I'll lose it quick.

cmcmillan · January 2012

Last week I was up 12.

footnotegirl · January 2012

I've gained a total of 22 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight, and was actually down 2 lbs from last weeks appointment to this weeks. Wasn't trying or anything, the week before was just chock full of celebrations and eating out, and this week was more eating at home and such.

repedrick · January 2012

I had my 36 wk appt yesterday- I'm up 38 pounds. I almost cried in the doctor's office but he said he wasn't concerned about it. I was trying really hard to stay around 30 lbs total but it looks like I will be around 40 lbs- guess that will just mean a little more effort on the treadmill afterwards. Dr. thinks a lot of it is fluid so hopefully it will drop off fast. I eat healthy, 3 meals a day with snacks being healthy foods (fruits, carrot sticks etc) so I figure this is just what is meant to be and won't fret about it.

pennyandandy · January 2012

15 pounds, two weeks left. I feel pretty good about it, of course, I am bigger to begin with, so I wasn't supposed to gain as much. They are guessing this baby around 7 lbs. as of last Friday, so with that and the placenta/fluid, I should lose around 10 lbs. at delivery, right?

Lawren · January 2012

22 pounds so far.

goldenleaves · January 2012

22lbs!

kms34 · January 2012

8 as of last week. I know I'll be up another 2-4 this week.

ssimon621 · January 2012

I'm up 25 pounds, as of Monday at my last appointment. I actually dropped one pound from the week before, I hope I can stay steady at this weight because I still feel great even though I am so close to the end.

emmasue18 · January 2012

With DS I gained 80+, I was 215lbs at delivery.

I lost 19lbs in nine days after having him.

I was 145lbs to start with this LO.

I am at 211lbs now. So that is a gain of 66lbs!

I didn't worry about losing the weight with DS until the month before his 1st birthday, I lost most of the weight just last Spring while DH was in Iraq. This time, I plan to start 8 weeks post partum and have all of the weight off by LO's first birthday. :-)

AttyMomma28 · January 2012

30.5 at 32 weeks (last week). I started at about 15 lbs over my ideal weight (which is prob still more than most ladies would care to weigh). I'll definitely go over what I'd hoped for but everyone seems healthy so far.

jatilly · January 2012

I started at 137 and last Thursday I was 170, scheduled induction next Thursday!

cheese.fiend · January 2012

I was up 26 lbs at 32 weeks. We'll see what the scale says today - I'm thinking it'll be at least 2 lbs since our growth scan showed LO gaining over a pound in the last 2 weeks.

novasouthanblond · January 2012

20 lbs total, but 12 lbs since Christmas. I started eating whatever the hell I wanted....I'm being better now but scared to find out on friday. I was trying to keep it to 15 lbs. I had quite the cushion to begin with.

Emalline036 · January 2012

I'm a little above 40lbs. And I'm only 5'4. I can definitely see the weight gain on my face, ass and thighs. I was a runner before I got pregnant, but I stopped when I found out about baby because I have had a miscarriage before and so I was worried about eeeeverything. I'm trying to psych myself up now to get back into it after LO gets here.

reikotxm · January 2012

My appointment is next week but last week I checked and I was at about 25 lbs total from my pre pregnancy weight.

ktroutm2 · January 2012

As of my appointment almost 2 weeks ago (I have an appointment tomorrow), I'm only up 10 pounds. I lost 16 lbs. in the beginning from the morning sickness. My doctor has commented twice that I look small but isn't concerned.

BlakeG · January 2012

I'm up 46 pounds as of today. I was hoping to keep it in the 40-50lb range but I think I will probably surpass that. Not super happy about that.

ladybuggirls99 · January 2012

My scale is the same as my doctor's...so 24 lbs as of today.

Shawnee11507 · January 2012

27lbs as of today and I was only supposed to gain 15-20 (because I was already pretty overweight) Crying

sparks2987 · January 2012

two weeks ago I was up 26 lbs, I am guessing about 30 now. I have lost all care about weight and stretchmarks....I cant control either as much as I have tried...so I stopped caring. Yes I have gained weight and yes I am covered in red stretchmarks.... but if that is what it takes to be blessed with a baby, sounds like a fair trade!

I will be working hard to feel good about myself again, not just to lose the weight but really feel good about myself. (this pregnancy has killed my self esteem)

waterfall213 · January 2012

26 lbs as of yesterday

hayliedc · January 2012

32 as of Monday but I've been retaining a lot of fluid. I seriously feel like the girl from Willie Wonka that turns into a blueberry from the waist down. I need to be juiced.

SqueezeTheClay · January 2012

I'm up 9lbs as of my 34 week appt (that was down a pound from my 32 week).

With my first I gained 60 and lost 32 within two weeks, with my second I gained 30 and lost 32 again within two weeks. This time around I figure as long as I stay under 32 pounds I'll come out ahead of the game (of course, I was already overweight to begin with)

halo_tx · January 2012

I'm up about 32 pounds total. That number kind of freaks me out, I try to remind myself that I'm tall (5'10") so the dr. said he would expect a little more gain... just really hoping it won't be too hard to get back off after LO arrives.

tayrob1986 · January 2012

I am 36 weeks Friday and I've gained 21 pounds so far. I have a lot of extra fluid, also, and a pretty big baby(OB thinks she could possibly be gaining a pound a week-YIKES.) I have GD and they are planning to induce me at 39 weeks. So, I'm really hoping to keep it at 25 pounds or under...we shall see! :-)

PhysChic7685 · January 2012

I'm up 42 at 37 weeks (well, 37 weeks on Friday), but I've been that same weight for the past two weeks. I'm hoping maybe I can keep it steady in the next few weeks.

lindsayandjamie · January 2012

I'm up 28lbs at 35 weeks. I have hardly gained anything this tri and most of my gain was in 2nd tri where I was pacing 1lb a week consistently. I'm thinking I'll end up around 30lbs total, but I'm happy if I stay under 35lbs.

soralette · January 2012

I was up 32lbs at last week's appointment, using the doctor's scale numbers. It's more than I wanted to gain (I was already ~25-30lbs above my ideal weight, bleh), but it's seriously all baby and boobs. I still have a waist from behind, even!

sapphirebride06 · January 2012

I was up 15 but lost 1 as of my appointment yesterday, so up 14 pounds total. I only weighed 135 to start so I'm at 149 per the doctor scale, and I'm up 12 pounds per my home scale (I weigh myself naked after I pee in the morning so I feel like that's a more "true" weight than after I've eaten/drank water, etc.). I got in trouble for not gaining enough, then for losing yesterday, but I'm GD and on a somewhat restricted diet, so I don't anticipate much weight gain other than the 1/2 pound per week DS should gain from here on out.

aglenn · January 2012

40+, same as with DD. I am purposely not calculating the exact number because there's nothing I can do about it anyway. I retain a ton of water during pregnancy, esp at the end. I'm definitely puffy. Anyway, I lost the vast majority of it in the first couple of weeks after delivery the first time around so I'm trying not to worry about it.

Soph13F · January 2012

I started at 184, but lost 10lbs in the 1st trimester. I'm currently 185 with just a few weeks to go. Wondering if I'll come out of this weighing less than I went in?

christinbeatrice · January 2012

overall 28 lbs as of today - 38 weeks

SeptemberBride'08 · January 2012

30ish. Depends on the day, what I ate how much I drank etc. I'm cool with it

LSquared3960 · January 2012

52 pounds at 34 weeks...eek! I HATE that I've put on this much weight, but it is what it is. I keep active and eat well so there isn't much I can do. I know I'll be able to get off...eventually

raelynnjuelfs · January 2012

I'm up 29 lbs at 33 weeks.

Melzig76 · January 2012

Last week I was up 15, this week I'm back down to 12.

kristin172429 · January 2012

You ladies will probably think this is nuts, but technically ZERO weight gain. I am already plus-sized/overweight (they would have only wanted me to gain between 11-15 lbs). Then I was diagnosed with GD and lost about 10 lbs. in a month (totally normal, as I understand it). At my appointment yesterday, I just made it back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Because of my size and the baby progressing just fine, my OB and GD doc are actually thrilled with the way I maintained my weight. I'm just glad it was okay to not gain and that I will weigh less after pregnancy than before (crazy for a plus-size girl to imagine). Smile
