How much weight have you gained?

J&NL · October 2013

Well, I feel like a complete a-hole now because I just weighed myself today and I dropped two pounds so in reality I've only gained 5 pounds. That's what I get for weighing myself at 9pm while I had a serious food baby.

The weekly thread PP mentioned sounds great! I'm also hoping to do this pregnancy the healthy way, since I had just started revamping my eating before getting pregnant and want to do everything I can for a healthy baby and healthy birth (and a better recovery after).

My weight has been super confusing. I had gained about 3 1/2 lbs at 13 weeks, but the following week was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. Freaked me out a little, but I'm sure it was just bloat saying goodbye. I'll be curious what I weigh this week. I started a little heavier than I probably should have, so lower weight gain would probably be healthiest.

It can also depend on what time of the day you weigh yourself. I weighed myself last night after eating and was two pounds heavier than this morning!

9 pounds. I had just lost 2 before bfp and those two came back in one day (hey i'm nauseous lets try carbs... bam!) Then I was up 6 at 11 weeks, back down to up 2 at 13 weeks, and major headaches kicked in, less working out which for me means eating worse as well, and gained 7 in 3 weeks. ugh. My goal is 25 total, I had a little extra weight to begin with and 25 is healthy enough of a weight gain. I may want to start eating more veggies soon and less treats....

Jwheels68 · October 2013

6 lbs. I am 18 weeks today

Sarahjess06 · October 2013

I'm back to my starting weight. I'm 15w3d. I gained 40lbs with DS. Really hoping I don't repeat that.

snowclouds · October 2013

2 lbs, but I think it has to do with food aversions. Last pregnancy I had gained a bunch more by now.

spano41 · October 2013

Still -13 at 14 weeks but I was 20lb overweight to begin with.... I'm ready to start putting some weight on but still having trouble eating. I'm just going to listen to my body, it knows what it needs.

Bun in the oven 2011 · October 2013

I've gained only 2 lbs at 18 weeks but I am overweight to begin with so my OB is happy with that. Everyone's body is different and has different needs!

jgallegos · October 2013

I lost 6 during first tri. So far I have gained about 4 back. So still waiting for it to come. I try to exercise as much as I can and eat well (minus all that Halloween candy!!!)

newter135 · October 2013

I gaine a lot almost 20 pounds but I was slightly underweight before gettin pregnant so it's not so bad. Doctor says since I've only gained in my boobs and uterus there is nothing to worry about

BeeBee08 · October 2013

I've gained 11 at 17weeks. I gained most in 1st tri and I'm blaming progesterone. I haven't gained anything since 14weeks. My goal is < 30

ZoeStar13 · October 2013

7.5 pounds at 15 weeks. I was very thin (borderline underweight) before getting pregnant, however. But I'm a little shocked that I've gained so much so fast -- usually I have a lot of trouble gaining weight!

Mrs.Kohalic17 · October 2013

I'm still down 4 lbs, just saw the dr yesterday and was told to take my zofran 2-3x a day & eat more to gain weight. I'm already on the bigger side so it was definitely weird having a dr tell me that. Tho I am doing my best for baby, its hard with being nauseous 24/7. Then when I do force myself to eat I get sick so its been difficult.

ButtonGirl82 · October 2013

5 pounds at 17.5 weeks

JessieAlbin · October 2013

I about choked when I saw the scale at my doctor's office today... I know I just ate and am wearing clothes/shoes, and had a full bladder... But really?! 7 lbs since my last appt?!!! For a total of ten. Yikes, no wonder I feel like a whale!!!

Eta: 16 weeks on Friday.

smashton14th · October 2013

I have lost 5 pounds.

throwing up today again...no fun.

Beckypooh09 · October 2013

I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and I'm still down 2 pounds but I started this pregnancy 15lbs heavier then my previous pregnancies so I'm very happy with this.

SuzieQu4u · October 2013

16 weeks down about 5lbs before I was pregnant, but I had lots of cushion to work with, so my doctor isn't worried.

With my first pregnancy I lost almost 15 lbs before I started to gain! This time, I will definitely not be as lucky.

janice9821 · October 2013

8 pounds so far. I'm 17 weeks tomorrow. I was fairly overweight to start with and I'm supposed to be taking it easy on carbs and fatty stuff (yeah, right!) but the doctor hasn't complained yet so hopefully I'm not doing TOO bad.

Alycia Hause · October 2013

16 weeks tomorrow and I've gained 10. I'm still wearing my normal jeans though .. I really feel like a lot of it is my chest and water weight...

amhah09 · October 2013

I'm up 3 at 18.

mamacrist · October 2013

4 lbs so far at 15 1/2 weeks. I need to talk with my midwife about weight gain. I'm not obese but overweight for sure, which from what I've read I will need to be careful about how much I gain.
Let's focus on being healthy and celebrating these beautiful bodies

kalmte214 · October 2013

about 10lbs I think

Luck Be A Lady · October 2013

I'm down about 15. Severe hyperemesis has made it nearly impossible to gain weight. I was pulled from work a few weeks ago, and that's helped me to at least stop losing weight, but I'm still waiting to see some pounds come back.

erinh2005 · October 2013

Down 3 lbs since pre preg. But we had just returned from all-inclusive honeymoon when we found out so I was a little on the heavy side of my range to begin with ;;) I'm a FTM so I appreciate the advice I can get from this thread! I think I'll just let my Dr. monitor for me.

lokimau · October 2013

i have gained 10 lbs but i swear half of that is just in my boobs so not too worried

lcr23 · October 2013

I had an appt this morning and somehow gained almost 20! I almost cried! I definitely don't feel or think that it looks like I've gained that much.

alittlelibrary · October 2013

7 lbs at 18 weeks, seems low for the amount of food I'm inhaling. Eating in the middle of the night has replaced waking up to pee. Blergh.

cmyers6896 · October 2013

3lbs at 14 weeks

Luckie519 · October 2013

I am at 16 weeks 1 day and have gained 5 lbs.

catnip4632 · October 2013

I'm actually down a pound from my prepregnancy weight! I'm a bigger gal though and we tend to gain less weight! I only gained 15 pounds total with DD 11 years ago.

Soon to be Mrs.Williams · November 2013

no yet but losing all my muscle tone I worked so hard for. Trying to change my lilypie but having trouble. I'm 16 weeks

MrsG325 · November 2013

In my first trimester I gained 11- since then (almost 4 weeks ago now) I've only gained 1 more pound. So I think it all evens out don't worry. You gain when you need to

Deannac430 · November 2013

I lost 10 pounds at the beginning of my pregnancy and have only gained about 6 of those pounds back. Haha

SPS430 · November 2013

I haven't weighed myself and refuse to look at the scale at the dr. If he is concerned, he will let me know. Last time I gained 20 lbs by 12 weeks and then didn't gain any until 30 weeks and put on a lb a week until 40 weeks. I went into labor 10 days after my due date and gained 10 lbs in those 10 days. I was walking my butt off but my ankles and hands swelled so I think that is water. I lost 30 in the first 2 weeks and the other 10 took 9 months. The weight obsession took away from the pregnancy last time and this is my last one, if it doesn't come off this time, ill resort to lipo.

Chanellemarie · November 2013

17 weeks and 1 day I gained 4 pounds a far.

Rogue237 · November 2013

I've gained 9 lbs and I'm 16 1/2 weeks. It's all in my bump, so it hasn't really bothered me, but now that I'm feeling less pukey 24/7 I'm hoping to get back to my good eating habits and walks (and just started prenatal yoga), so I hope to even it out.

Airynn Chica · November 2013

With my first I gained 55lbs, but I had just finished losing 110lbs the month before I fell pregnant!! I would like to only gain 30-35lbs this pregnancy. I still had 23lbs to lose from the first pregnancy! Ahhh I hate battling weight gain (But love my DD)

ohhhmysushi · November 2013

16 wks 5 days here and gained 3 lbs. I initially lost about 3 lbs. I've gained that back plus 3 lbs. I'm underweight so I'm excited to get a little meat on my bones
