mobile: Weight gain check in
If you care to share, what has your weight gain been like so far?
I'm almost 29w, and have gained 20lbs. This is my third, and this is just a little less than my last pregnancy (35 total there) and a lot less than first pregnancy (50 total, I was less wise on eating for that one!).

Re: Weight gain check in
I started at 108lbs, at 26w I'm 135lbs = 27lb gain
i was a little concerned because it came on really quickly but I stopped gaining in the last month or so. I think it's evening out. I'm a FTM
Back to ignoring this check in
Good job exercising your right not to answer
I agree we should all gain. I'm overweight and don't feel in any way I should ignore the scale, and it's been valuable to me to keep it in check. Some who have struggled with an eating disorder in the past, for example, could have major issues with looking at it very closely which is quite understandable.
Side note, I was as a baby shower last night where every woman over 50 in the room seemed impossibly thin, the two moms I was with said they are back to/below PP weight, but can't get rid of the muffin top. I laughed at myself for even being worried about weight gain, plenty of life left to enjoy so I decided to try to worry less about weight and just focus on eating healthy. The fact that chocolate anything gives me wicked heartburn helps, too!
There actually is a healthy range of weight gain and some women struggle to stay within it. It's really great for you that you don't have that problem. Heckling people who do is a real b* move.
This!! I mean, really!? What is wrong with people like you?? It was a "share if you want" request and weight gain, either too much or too little, can have serious effects on you and your child. Maybe you should try learning about it.
that would be me! i was struggling earlier in the pregnancy but now am happy that connor is healthy and trying not to focus on the gain. i eat really healthy with a few splurges thrown in so i'm not too worried. i started out at 113 and have gained 22 pounds at 28 weeks.
FTM, I started at 163 (heaviest weight ever, thanks holiday season 2012) and yesterday at the OB I weighed in at 186, so up 23 lbs. It's more than I thought I would have gained at this point, especially since the last 13 lbs was in the last 5 weeks, but my appetite has readily increased as well. I feel like most of the weight is in my belly at this point, so I'm ok with this.
edit: 26 weeks, btw
With baby 1, I lost 20 before gaining, and was at plus 11 when I delivered. That was an odd one, to weigh less after delivery than before pregnancy, but still didn't fit prepreg pants. Darn hips! 2 arrived early, and 3 and 4 were more typical gains.
That is why people are free to pick and choose which threads they participate in. Lots of people have topics that they need to stay away from. It doesn't mean that no one else should be aloud to talk about them. For example there are women in the world who experience chronic psychosomatic pelvic pain as a result of sexual trauma and abuse. I don't run around putting down women who start threads about pregnancy related pelvic pain for fear that some of these women will participate in an unhealthy fashion.
