erbear717 · July 2012

my questions are??

how many pounds have you ladies gained thus far (at or around 15 weeks)?

and what do you do to stay active?

BigFoot80 · July 2012

I am 17 weeks and have gained 1.5 pounds. I do a stroller class with DD 3 days a week and pilates 2 days a week. I eat crap all day though!

ShandaB · July 2012

I haven't gained any weight yet. I've lost 4 pounds but that's exactly how my last pregnancy went. I've been eating lots of small meals throughout the day. My RE suggested always paring a carb with a protein to keep you blood sugar level and energy throughout the day.

this decaf life · July 2012

Somewhere between 14-16 weeks I gained 1.5 pounds. I didn't gain anything before 14 weeks. Right now my "activity" is working & walking my dog. We'll see what I do when I quit my job.

dulcemariamar1 · July 2012

I am going to be 17 weeks tomorrow. I have gained about 6.5 pounds. I didnt have any morning sickness so I didnt lose weight during the first trimester.

I walk a lot and I also do light aerobics a few times a week.

graciesmurf · July 2012

Hi! So far weight loss is 2 pounds.

I walk/light jog to stay active.

nycitygirl1 · July 2012

I gained about 6 pounds, but I think it was from eating like crap while I had m/s. I ate way too many carbs so now I'm trying to get back to healthy eating.

I jog, do the elliptical trainer at the gym, and swim to stay active.

sjamin9 · July 2012

I'm still -6lb from pre-pregnancy. I work out each morning before work, running 2.5 miles on M, W and F and lifting weights T and Th. Once every 2 weeks I meet with the personal trainer to change up my lifting workouts. This was my routine before pregnancy, so I'm trying to stick with it now. Since the pregnancy, I've decreased weight and increased reps. I wear a heartrate monitor to make sure I'm resting enough in between and not doing too much when I run (decreased my pace but increased my time). It seems to be working. The baby is definitely getting bigger though as I'm not able to button my pants even though I haven't put weight on yet. Dr. said she wasn't concerned unless I didn't put any on by 24 weeks. I'm trying to eat as much as I can when I'm hungry, but sticking to fruits, cheeses, chicken, nuts, etc. I have caved and eaten crap when I really crave it.... that donut BEFORE dinner last night was delicious.

Karschingham · July 2012

I'm still at -9 lbs horrible m/s...which is fine because I definitely wasn't a skinny mini to start with!!! Hoping to maintain weight and just grow my belly...but I wouldn't be bummed to gain about 10-15 lbs total...

amh04 · July 2012

It depends on the day - between 7-10 pounds at just shy of 17 weeks - but I also have more than one in there so my weight gain is supposed to be between 35-40 lbs. I'm a big fluctuator so its normal for my weight to change up/down 5 lbs a week.
I try to swim at least 3 times a week, and we walk our dog for a good mile or so every day.

mrsodonnell12 · July 2012

I am 16w3d and I am up about 2 pounds so far. From what I have read, you should plan to gain between 12 and 14 pounds in the second trimester.... so about 4 pounds per month.

BabyHope2013 · July 2012

I am a little over 15 weeks and have gained about 5 lbs. I haven't been as active since becoming pregnant---it's been extremely hot to do any running or a ton of walking. I also was so drained by the time I got home from work during the first trimester every day I didn't want to do anything except go to bed so I could feel like I could function the next day. Never had m/s but ate a lot of carbs when I started to not feel well---lots of pretzels and goldfish crackers.

Now I am trying to focus on lots of fruits and veggies again and my energy is getting better so I hope to get up and at least take a walk with my pup every night again.

Brummy14 · July 2012

I'm probably not helpful, given I'm expecting twins, so my numbers are entirely inconsistent with the rest of you (and I'm expected to put on 1.5-2 lbs per week from here on out)

That said...I've put on ~10 lbs thus far, but it's pretty much all belly. I still fit into all of my spandex workout pants (and when I put on weight, it usually goes straight to the behind/thighs!)

In terms of exercise (until I'm told to shut it down) -- I'm @ the gym 5 days a week for about an hour each time. I'll do the elliptical/stationary bike, take Tabata/Boot Camp classes (so basically cardio/light weights), and then spinning once a week. Some of these are starting to get a bit uncomfortable (I'm measuring ~20 weeks already), so I'm not sure how long I'll be able to continue some...even if I'm still allowed to do so.

brianabrad · July 2012

I'm 16 weeks tomorrow and I believe I've gained about 4 pounds. However, that 4 pound changed happened way early for me and during my last three appointments I haven;t gained. I have an appt next week though and I have a feeling its going to say I've gained something. I just feel thicker and heavier so if it says I haven't gain, I'll be shocked.

I've also heard that you should plan to gain between 12 and 14 pounds during the 2nd tri.

akating · July 2012

I am still down 8lbs from my starting weight (I have gained two from my lowest point) and I chase my son around and on cooler days I go out for walk/jogs in the park.

When it comes to eating healthy I find my problem is just not feeling satisfied. Last night I ate almost an entire jar of pickles and was seriously debating drinking the juice. I also wanted chips. This was the first time since 1st tri that I have felt this way. But I am trying to stick to my guns. I am still feeling the urge to eat healthy so I am trying to just hold on to that as long as I can. With DS I gained 35lbs and do not want to do that again.

misscarter87 · July 2012

I am 16weeks actually i have lost 3lbs so i'm trying really hard to gain that back! i had my first sign of morn sickess last wk luckily its all gone now!

I"m going to try to walk a mile or so a little.

karen_loy · July 2012

I am almost 15 weeks and have gained 0.5lb; I just chase around DS all day long; anyhow I eat a bunch of carbs, chocolate, ice cream and such, so I'm just hoping I won't explode in the next few weeks

EmTish08 · July 2012

I'm still down 4lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I haven't been very active, because it has been way too hot to be outside for more than 10min lately. I'm hoping to start a prenatal yoga class in the next couple of weeks.

Mom2anAngel2 · July 2012

So far I have gained about 2 pounds, however, I was underweight prior to the pregnancy, so I have not made it back to my "normal weight" as of yet.

ungraceful13 · July 2012

I have gained between 3-5 lbs. I didn't have any morning sickness though. I am not exercising nearly enough either. I usually walk 30mins every day but it has been too hot to walk outside recently.

spikeinc · July 2012

Isn't it nice to feel a bit better?

I have my next appointment on Friday and don't want to know how much I have gained until then. I had lost three pounds a month ago. If I have gained, it seems to be all in my boobs (bazoombas) and tummy. I just tried on my swimsuits and I look obscene! Luckily I am going to a French island where most people run around half naked so I am not worried about buying new ones.

As far as activity, none so far. I really want to get back to it now that I feel better and will probably join the gym or find a prenatal yoga class when I get back from my trip.

SunshineShades · July 2012

At 9 weeks I had lost 7 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight.
At 13 weeks I had gained 2 lbs.
I am not sure where I am at now, I have my next appointment in a week, and dont weigh myself at home.
If I had to guess I would say I am about at my pre-pregnancy weight. So depending on how you look at it, I have gained 7 lbs, or really no weight.

wootownlady · July 2012

I'm 16 weeks and have gained - 1.5 lbs - all in the last 4 or 5 days.

Staying active is hard -- working the corporate grind and taking care of a 14 month old, a house, a dog, etc. However, I park far away from the office and all stores so I have to alk a ways to get in. I take the dog for a long walk every day. I take the stairs whenever possible. But as far as actual workouts go - haven't figured out how to make it work yet.

JennV514 · July 2012

I've lost weight. I go on walks with my son and do prenantal pilates.

amjung2103 · July 2012

I'm 14 weeks and haven't gained any weight yet - I know its coming though!

BLPL101 · July 2012

I think I've gained a pound. I haven't been exercising

Smiley-1980 · July 2012

I gained 2lbs in first tri and I think at least another 1-2 lbs so far.

landosmommy · July 2012

I have gained 5 lbs so far. I haven't done anything active so far this pregnancy, but I did ask my doctor today if I can start exercising & he said yes, so I'll at least be jogging/running a few times a week.

Wild_flower25 · July 2012

5 lbs, but I also eat like crap to manage the morning sickness. I never vomitted yet so I'd rather eat all the time to keep it at bay lol

I don't do anything different than before. I try to go on walks, thats about it.

nycbride2011 · July 2012

I haven't weighed myself this week...But as of last week (4 weeks) I was up 5.5 lbs. I had some nausea (no vomitting) that was eased by eating lots of carbs at the beginning!

Topped with lack of energy I only now got back into the gym! So I've been doing prenatal pilates 2-3 times a week and love it!

RachelG1016 · July 2012

According to the Dr. I gained 6 pounds between my first and 2nd appointment.

I know the true damage as I weigh myself every week and honestly I have ballooned up about 10 pounds since finding out I was pregnant.

I have pregnancy induced asthma and have been exhausted beyond words so I haven't been exercising at all. I park far away in the parking lot and walk up the stairs and that is enough to make me want to pass out.

Crazy to think that 2 days after I found out I was pregnant I ran a 5K. The next week I was at the walk in clinic getting a breathing treatment because my oxygen was way down.

RachelG1016 · July 2012

I forgot to mention that I have had awful m/s and have been eating anything that sounds good and probably too much of it. I have had a couple VERY bad days (vomiting multiple times) but for the most part eating constantly and Zofran have kept it at bay.

Runner313 · July 2012

I have gained almost 10 lbs already! I still work out but not as often as I used to, and I had no morning sickness at all. I was very small to begin with and all the weight is in my belly so my doctor said it is fine because she felt I needed to gain weight before I was pregnant. I go running about 2-3 times a week now and do weights approx twice a week.

MrsLean · July 2012

I have gained 6lbs so far (at 14w4d), but I haven't been eating very healthy in the past week.... eek! It's a bit more than I think I should've gained, but I've planned some healthy meals this week and am going to start exercising again now that I have some energy back! My doc didn't seem too concerned about my weight gain at my appointment yesterday, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it.

KappaUCF20 · July 2012

About 7 lbs I think, but I'm pretty sure it's all baby (and placenta, etc. lol) because overall I don't look much different. I have a small bump, but most people are surprised when I tell them that I've gained that much. I do have a long torso though so maybe that makes a difference. Somehow I managed to avoid morning sickness (just occasional nausea), and I've had a huge appetite since day one. With my first pregnancy, I gained 5 pounds within the first few weeks but the weight immediately came off as soon as I had the miscarriage which leads me to believe that it was all tissue and blood (sorry if TMI).

goofyteacher · July 2012

Not quite there yet, but I am still losing. I was down another 2lbs last week for a grand total of -16lbs.

3rdat40 · July 2012

I've put on 9 pounds already, and to stay active, I try to keep up with my two older kiddos, ages 6 and 9! Some people might not think this is a proper workout, but walking up and down stairs with laundry baskets has got to count for something! LOL!

Seriously, I also take long walks whenever I get the chance. It is harder to find time for it in the summer with the kids home from school, but they've done some camps and things, so I walk whenever I get kid-free time.
