Weight gain

Shaunamae87 · August 2013

So I started out at 145. Today I am 180! I don't feel/or feel like I look 180 AT ALL. My diet has not changed much. Anyone else willing to share?

[Deleted User] · August 2013

It's just a number. I went from 100 to 144.5...had my baby on the 24th and now I'm down to 120.

Shaunamae87 · August 2013

It is just a number I agree with you on that. It's just a rather shocking number for me.

puckcowgirl · August 2013

Yep, started out at 140 now I'm at 185 yikes! Don't feel like I look it either. Mostly baby and boobs. Still shocking though. I still have 6 weeks left, but I'm not as hungry as before . Also not too much room left in there for a lot of food. So hoping I don't gain too much more.

Shmidtzy · August 2013

I have been so apprehensive to share my weight with others, only because most of the females in my life are in their 50s and make those skinny comments or my peers who are all single/dating/childless and seem indifferent to my being a mother. Anyway, i started at around 102 and now i am 140lbs! I have never weighed this much before. Each woman has that number that shocks them. Every time i am weighed at my appointment, i bust out laughing. I am happy, surprised, in disbelief, and proud in a strange way. I was considered "underweight" on the bmi chart, but it looks like i have caught up to the "normal weight" gain.

ajbook · August 2013

Started at 140 and was 164 as of yesterday. 24lbs sounds like a lot of work coming up for this body. For now, I'm trying to put it out of my mind. I have time to take the weight off once LO is born.

Mom38673 · August 2013

I started at 126. I'm now at 150. I've gained 24 lbs. I have about 2.5 weeks left. Little room to each much.... Once I was into the 3rd trimester, I really didn't care what I gained and didn't gain. I've worked it all off once, and I will do it again.

Fitzkitten · August 2013

Started out at 116 and I am now 151! And still 2 weeks to go, yikes! Was hoping to stay in the 25-35lb range but guess ill be a little over that

jessalynn521 · August 2013

at my last appt I was up 23 lbs. I don't really want to share my before number though with all the skinny minnies

I only gained 32 with my son and lost it all in 2 weeks (he was 7lbs3ozs.)

Staceylynn602 · August 2013

That's how much I've gained too. I'll be 31 weeks Monday. If dr isn't concerned, I'm not either

aboulet · August 2013

I am 5'8" and started out at 141 and I'm up to 158, total of 17lbs. I'm 33 wks so I've still got some time to go.

MissyCee · August 2013

I've gained almost 30 lbs with about a week left to go. I really don't know where it all is, I'm still thin everywhere but with a bump and bigger boobs. I'm not thrilled about the number on the scale but I'm not stressing about it.

chickklit · August 2013

I am 5'5 and started at around 122. Week 33 I weighed 140, but then at 35 1/2 week appt I weighed 145! Lol! I had to laugh.....to keep from crying. Now I still weight about 145 and Sunday I'll be 37 weeks. I think it is just more shocking to see higher numbers than what you are used to seeing. Yes it is a beautiful thing that you are carrying your LO and giving him/her the nutrition they need. But it still can mess with your mind sometimes. I just keep myself focused on having a plan after DS is born in a few weeks and preparing mental toughness and discipline in eating and working out again!

leahaustin · August 2013

I started at 176 and I am 184. I am only gained 8lbs and I am definitely feeling lucky.

melosch · August 2013

I haven't known my weight since I was 16, so I blindly weigh myself at my appointments and assume my midwives will tell me if there is an issue. I am still super active (walking, swimming, dance class, yoga) so as long as I can keep that up and am smart about my diet, I don't see an issue.

If I could guess...I'll probably have put on 40lbs (+/- 5) by the end of my pregnancy.

I know because of how well I take care of myself I'll be able to drop much of it quickly

starberrylynn · August 2013

This should make everyone feel better- with baby #1 I started out at 135, ended up at 175- I'm only 5'1! got down to 116 and found out i was pregnant with #2- now at 32 almost 33 weeks I'm up to 145...blehhh

carolinettc · August 2013

Those are my EXACT numbers too!!

KandT0919 · August 2013

I started out at 157 and now weigh 166.. I'm 30 weeks.

The gestational diabetes diet has kept me from gaining alot of weight

monkeybutt61612 · August 2013

With my first, I went from 127 to 214. Needless to say, that shit was not pretty

HeatherMc78 · August 2013

My prepregnancy weight was 125. Due to severe morning sickness in first trimester, I dropped to 114. Now at almost 34 weeks, I am 140.

[Deleted User] · August 2013

Pre preg weight 117 and at 28 weeks I am 137. Feeling like a cow. It's a relative! Any weight gain is hard to deal with no matter what your original size was. Hang in there everyone I bet you all look beautiful!

J&Jaggies06 · August 2013

I've gained 31 lbs so far. With my first I gained 28 lbs.

CarolinaGirl411 · August 2013

I'm 5'9", started at 120 and as of my appt. Thursday I'm at 140. H says I look like I swallowed a basketball, it's all belly.

HanaLouise · August 2013

I've been so embarrassed about my weight gain because all of my friends/sisters only gain 20-25lbs for each baby! I went from 115lbs to 152lbs and I have 6 weeks to go! The weight gain has stalled, though, so I'll hopefully not gain too much more

oh well, everybody is different...

afrochick09 · August 2013

I gained about 45-50 lbs, it comes off so don't worry.

Lovehavinggirls · August 2013

I've gained 26 lbs. I started at 132 and I'm 37 weeks. With dd1 I gained 28lbs when I had her at 35 weeks and lost it pretty quick I'm hoping for the same thing this time.

jlbhz2275 · August 2013

With my first I had gained 35lbs when I had her at 39 weeks, and I lost it all plus another 40. This time around I have gained 49lbs and still have 4 weeks left. Oh well it will come off again

sfeebs13 · August 2013

I wouldn't put too much into it.

I was 115-120 prepregnancy, and a little underweight.. I weighed 160 at my last OB visit and now less than two weeks since I delivered and I'm back down to 130

huntjul · August 2013

I weighed 150 to start, and am 160 now at 32 weeks. Squishy is perfectly sized and doc's happy, so I'm happy.

Sounds like me

You live and you learn I guess.

annasi83 · August 2013

Lurking from 2nd tri and I just wanted to say I am sure you are all beautiful no matter what the number is.

SuperSecretStatus · August 2013

With DD1 I went from 185 to 226 to 195.

This time I've been fortunate. I have gone from 225 down to 214 and am now sitting around 230.

RedLucia · August 2013

I started at 135 lb. and now I weigh 182 lb.

Gained 47 pounds so far and have 3 weeks to go.

Doesn't seem like I've gained much fat.

...I think it is mostly boobs, belly/baby, and water retention.

I can literally see the water weight pooled in my thighs.

Same here sister! I was 92 lbs at conception, and feared for my LO so much. I was referred to a nutritionist and the nurse at my OB gets excited with me when we take my weight. I'm hovering at 121 lbs now and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Ideally I would like to be 135 but I know I still have hopefully 6 weeks to go and I can put on some more before then. High five!

Thank you

little_bren · August 2013

I started out around 125 then lost 10-15 lbs. in the first tri, gained it back during the beginning of the 2nd tri and have settled around 140 at 7 mos 1 week aka 15 lbs. so far.

Erfield24 · August 2013

I started at 120, I'm now 148 and am almost 34 weeks. Every woman's body is very different, I keep trying to focus on being healthy, though I have been far hungrier than ever before and eating far more!

Kristonita12 · August 2013

Have gained 28 at 37 weeks... Feeling fairly good about it!

inthelost · August 2013

I started at 145 now I'm about 175

mandah04 · August 2013

I started at 142 and now am at 185. It freaks me out but yet at the same time I know that I can work to lose it afterwards so that makes me feel better about it. Pregnant women are BEAUTIFUL. You are carrying the best gift....the gift of life
