Post Your Weight Gain!

Sometimes I get freaked out about the weight I've gained. Might put some minds at ease if we all posted how many weeks we are and how much weight we've gained!

21 Weeks and gained 8 pounds

KellenHi21 · January 2013

Don't be freaked out, I just gained a bunch this last week! I think it's my current obsession with ice cream! I gained 12 so far! Oops! Ill be 20w on Saturday.

mrskait13 · January 2013

21 weeks. I was up 6 LBS before I got sick. I am now -7 LBS. However I am a big girl, so they dont want me gaining much weight @ all.

chelsmcl · January 2013

I'm just over 19 weeks and I'm up 9lbs which my OB is perfectly happy with. I was a size 4/6 before getting pregnant so I wasn't super skinny but I'm not overweight.

TeamHayes · January 2013

19 weeks. According to my drs scale up 2 lbs according to my scale up 6. My first weigh in the np really butchered my weight so now my dr thinks I'm not gaining enough even though I know I have.

Ahh, you beat me to it.nbsp;Edit: But I'll play. I've gained a net total of 0 pounds at 19 weeks. I lost 10 pounds at the beginning and finally got back to my prepregnancy weight ::happy dance to have finally gained::nbsp;

TaraW1979 · January 2013

22 weeks and I've gained 5 lbs

RileighsMom1224 · January 2013

18 weeks and none gained. I am proud of my self, hit 40lbs with my first. I am not going to hit that 200 mark again this time. Well hopefully.

LidiaLavonna:

yea, my thoughts exactly.

courty625 · January 2013

Up 6 pounds at 22 weeks. I have to get on the drs scale Friday and his is always worse, so I'll get an official count then.

JaimeCH · January 2013

19 weeks and 5 lbs.

Luthy · January 2013

20w, up 5 lbs. I can NOT believe it, because with my miscarriage I only made it to 9 weeks and gained a whole bunch of weight, and I wasn't eating any differently than I have been now. I have no idea what happened there.

FordFalcor · January 2013

Around 6 lbs at 21 weeks, 4 days.

I started this pregnancy at 184 so I'm no small thing. I really hope to stay under 210.

Full disclosure so yay!! You're welcome.

ameh13 · January 2013

Up 1 lb at 21 weeks. Started a little overweight so I am thrilled!

LiLi23 · January 2013

I think I'm up about 8 so far at 19 weeks. I'm ok with that. My doctor hasn't said a word to me and I just saw him yesterday. I gained 30 with my last pregnancy so if I can stay at or under that ill be happy. Also it took me a year to get back to my PP weight so I'm at the same starting point as u was last time. Only squishier this time. Lol

atangiblewish · January 2013

Yea I won't post mine after all these small gains. Sad thing is I eat well too.

Tiffy725 · January 2013

Yikes I feel like a cow after seeing these tiny gains...20 weeks 4 days up 11 pounds ..I do aerobics and try to make healthy choices! Ugh

WhitWed · January 2013

18.5wks and was -1 as of a couple weeks ago. My appointment is tomorrow and I expect to be up +3 or 4 now that m/s is pretty much gone.

am&n · January 2013

21 weeks tomorrow and I have gained 12 pounds. It seems like a lot compared to every else that has posted!

Jdawnl · January 2013

We are exactly the same, I'm 20w4d and up 11lbs by the OB's scale.My doctor isn't concerned and she said I would be gaining quicker in the next few weeks. Eek!

SLaBM2B · January 2013

Uhhhhh. 8 lbs?lucky you! I'm up to about 20 at least. Thanks to all the carbs!

Yeah, seriously. I kind of feel like people HAVE to be under-estimating.

But, I'm feeling honest. I'm pretty sure I've gained about 20 pounds since my pre-IVF weight (I gained somewhere between 5-10 during IVF, then lost it all during by week 8 but now its back plus some). I'm up from 34As (yay!) to 36/38Cs, but I'm still wearing size smalls in shirts and my same-size jeans in maternity style.

FWIW, I think this is kind of a weird question. People gain all completely different amounts, depending on genetics, body type, pre-pregnancy weight. Is your doctor fine with your weight gain? Then that's all that matters.

willst · January 2013

Close to 15 and I know feel like a total fatty!

I'm with ya Sista! I've gone from a size 10 to a 12 but that's bc I'm carrying twins in my ass apparently.

dmlk413 · January 2013

I gained 5 so far but I haven't been weighed since 16 weeks. I'm sure I will have gained 34 more when I get weighed on Monday.

Edit: I'm 19 wks

Oh great....lol as long as baby boy is healthy and growing I can't complain!

mjune3881 · January 2013

20 weeks, 3 lbs. But really feels like 20 - I'm huge!

notquiteblushing · January 2013

Short answer: negative 5 pounds.

Long answer: I gained 5 pounds during my IVF cycle and lost 10 pounds between transfer day and my BFP. I've put 4-5 of those back on but I'm still below where I started. But I'm fat so nobody panic.

babyboyinmybelly · January 2013

wow, lots of tiny gains! Well I've gained 11lbs and I'm almost 21 wks. And I am active and eat really well! Probably 85% of the time! I gained nothing in the first tri!

ilovemarfa · January 2013

Baby number 2

19 weeks

13 lb gain

I gained about 30 with my son and I lost it right away within 2 weeks of delivery. I'm curious to see how big this guy is because my son was nearly 9 lbs and I was all baby. I'm on the same track as I was with my son.

megaroo64 · January 2013

22 weeks... 0 pounds gained.

nikip6454 · January 2013

20 weeks today up about 6 lbs.

Nix55 · January 2013

Eek. Are you serious? I am 22 weeks, and I've gained 20 lbs. I ate my way through m/s. Overall, I consider myself healthy, and my doctor isn't concerned.

kpiaskoski · January 2013

thank you for posting this! I gained about 6 lbs during IVF, and only 12 pounds at my home scale from starting weight Labor Day before I cycled. The OBGYN's scale says I've gained 22!! Liars!!! My doctor is not concerned which is fine by me. I go to the gym and eat healthy, so I'm not so concerned about getting it off after my little man gets here!

I gained nothing first trimester too. I'm now up 11lbs at 20w3d. I was an athletic size 6 pre pregnancy.

sytom · January 2013

Minus 4... I had a bit of a hyperthyroidism problem at the beginning of my pregnancy. It'a a huge change for me. During previous pregnancies, I gained 55 lbs each time.

I'll be 21 weeks tomorrow.

Me too! 21 weeks and 11 lbs. I work out (I teach prenatal exercise classes) and eat healthy! But I know I'm still in the normal healthy weight gain range, and that if I gain a lb a week from here I'll still be in the normal range.

I also started about 15 lbs less than I usually weigh, so gaining a little extra is ok.
