Omg I Gained 10lbs in 2 weeks

BrilliantBrunetteJenny · February 2013

I am slightly freaking out. I honestly thought i had been consuming less food and not more. I am pretty lazy because i hurt all the time, but seriously 10lbs in just 2 weeks. I did have preclampsyia last time around, but this time i seem to be doing well my b/p was good protein was normal, just some swelling. All the dr told me was to try and walk 15 minutes a day. And i will but omg my vagina hurts sorry tmi there Anybody else out there experiencing extreme weight gain in such a short amount of time?

It could very well be water weight- I had a lot of weight gain at the end of my pregnancy with DD and I essentially took a week off and laid on the couch with my feet up, cut back my salt and drank a TON of water and I lost four pounds. My OB threatened that if I didn't take it easy she'd put me on strict bed rest so I got a jump start. It was also just swelling- BP was fine and no protein in urine.

I have been doing much better with this preg than my 1st. I have had a 10 lb weight gain in the last 2 weeks, but I've actually been eating less. I've been more stressed and the food I've been eating has been very low calorie as well. I'm telling myself it's just water retention and after I have LO I'll sweat away 40 lbs in the hospital and come out looking like a supermodel!!! (ya right!)

I've gained a lot of weight recently too. I am 27 1/2 weeks and I gained 7 pounds in three weeks! The weird thing is I only gained 3 pounds up until month 5 then it started pouring on. I am getting a littler nervous about what the third trimester will do to my weight. I have another prenatal visit next week so we will see what the doctor says.

I lost a ton of weight during the first half of my pregnancy so I wasn't too concerned about weight. Because of that I ate like crap and didn't move much and I gained 10lbs in 3 weeks. My midwife didn't freak out but did try to make a point that if I kept up that pattern I would get quite large.

I gained 6lbs in 2 weeks and I still have 3 weeks to go!!!

I almost cried when I saw that I had gained that much because I thought that I was there last week. It wasn't until today that I realized my last appt was 2 weeks ago. So that made me feel a little bit better.

I'm also being monitored for pre e. I had eclampsia last pregnancy. But so far everything has been good. My BPs are normal, no protein and baby is in the 56% for growth. My OB and peri don't seem to be concerned about the weight so I'm not gonna stress to much myself. I do have swelling in my ankles and feet so I'm hoping that some of the gain is due to water retention.

This late in the game, it actually may be fluid retention. This is my first baby and I'm also at 35 weeks. I gained most of my weight this trimester. That being said I have carpal tunnel from the fluid in my hands. I also noticed this week, my feet are swollen now. I think it's all fluid. My sister told me she gained a lot of water weight in the third trimester. But after delivery she lost 19 pounds in two weeks.
