How much weight gain????

knj1984 · February 2013

I am 23 weeks today and wondering what others have gained in terms of weight....

It doesn't matter because everyone is different. Unless your doctor is concerned about your weight gain I wouldn't worry about it. I'm just saying this because it gets brought up a lot.

KHadden26 · February 2013

HAHA I think the only people interested in this convo would be the people who have only gained 6lbs so far

lre62384 · February 2013

At 20 weeks 6 days, I had gained 11 pounds. They say you should gain between 10 and 15 pounds at that point. I'm only 21 weeks and 3 days today. We'll see if I can stay in track.

24 weeks, 2 days and I'm up about 12 lbs.

Everyone hates these weight posts but I totally understand the curiosity/concern. Just listen to your doctor's rec and you'll be fine.

Dahh Weight Gain posts are the new Flu Shot post aren't they???

I kinda like hearing about other people's weight gain and I'm even over it! But for the OP I think I am up 11lbs at 23 weeks... but that was at my last appt so probably closer to 15 now.

13 pounds at 22 weeks...

22w4d, 5lbs or so.

Ditto tabs, I understand the curiosity.

I will say that this pregnancy is going exactly like my pregnancy with DD went, weight wise. And I had only gained 12lbs by 30w with her, then piled on another 18 in the last 10 weeks. My OB wanted me to gain 25 to 30, and I did. I just happen to gain primarily in the third tri.

Everyone gains differently, so there's no reason for concern unless you doctor has given you restrictions or specific goals to hit.

I'm up 18 lbs at 24w3d. Whatever. If I gain a lb a week until the end, I'll end up at like 35 total. That's where I was with DD2, so I'm totally fine with it. However, my issue this time isn't the weight that I've gained, my doc is happy and I'm totally within normal range.. it's WHERE it's choosing to go. Last time I was all belly. This time I swear with each lb, only half goes to my belly and the other half goes straight to my hips and rear. Just. Plain. Rude.

Honestly, I haven't been weighed since I was last at the doctor. Until I got back up to prepregnancy weight I was obsessed with my weight. I had really bad nausea/food adversions until week 17, not HG. HG mommies, you are warriors.

Now that I'm above prepregnancy weight, I eat healthy and make sure that I'm eating how much I'm supposed to. I'll find out next week what I've gained.

Don't worry about your weight unless you doctor shows concern.

As of my 24 week appointment, I had gained 1 pound. But like PP have said, everyone gains differently. I was tall and thin before, and now I am tall (obviously), with a huge bump... so the one pound makes no sense. My dr. isn't the slightest worried, so I am not worried either. I would trust your doctor on this one.

I don't hate weight gain posts as long as they are not taken to heart by anyone freaking out that they haven't "gained enough" or have "gained too much".

At my last appointment 21w5d I was up 10 lbs.

My first pregnancy at the same time I was up 17 lbs, so there is that.

I don't typically hate on weight posts. But this post is more annoying than normal for me because the OP asked all of us to share but didn't share themselves.

PoonamP910 · February 2013

22w3d and 9 pounds heavier

emenninga · February 2013

At 22 wks I have gained 5 lbs.

tantdylf · February 2013

I'm kind of disgusted with myself.

Yes

I am back to my pre pregnancy weight I had lost 10 lbs in the first trimester but by 24 weeks I've gained it back, which of course when I was losing the weight my doctor told me he needed me to gain it back, and now he is telling me watch my weight, I wish he would make up his mind

Machomax1 · February 2013

I am 24 weeks and I have gained 17 pounds! Ob said she is totally fine with it!!

Maelara · February 2013

I've gained 3 pounds but I was very very sick and lost a bunch of weight. My doctor isn't worried and said the baby is growing great

kjcrawfor · February 2013

OMG ENOUGH with this question!!! Seriously - everyone is different, if you're in a bad spot, talk to your doctor. I HATE HATE HATE this question with a fiery passion. It doesn't matter what everyone else has gained!

end rant.

kjcrawfor · February 2013

That said - read this from Feb. 2013 board - https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/72091862.aspx and note all of the posts that talk about how surprised they were that the weight comes off. So please please stop worrying!

Ok, not to further encourage the weight gain posts, but some of those girls aren't normal. That one who had flat abs again at 10 days pp? She looks fantastic, yes. Is that the norm, not really. Yes, you drop a good chunk right away. But, if you gain 50lbs, chances are you are going to have to work and it's gonna take time for it to go away. I gained 60 with my first. I busted my tail dieting and working out like a crazy person, and was back down to pre-pregnancy weight at about 8 months pp. My second, I gained like 38, and again with the butt busting diet and workout, I was back down by about 4ish months pp. It took 9 months to put the weight on and your body went through a lot. Expect it to take time for it to go back to "normal", which is almost NEVER what you remember being normal before baby.

Monkeybutt80 · February 2013

damn, you ladies are good! I am 24weeks today and I am up about 18lbs. I got the "watch what you eat" talk from my dr at my 8 week appt, but then she said i was fine after that. I have another appt coming up in a week and I am worried that she will caution me again! but I am not following the "mostly protein, veggies and fruits and no white carb" diet as recommended... no wine and no golf, the only vice i have left is food.... and I never used to eat sweets but as soon as i got pregnant, i started craving sugary stuff.... I cant help it!
