just because I'm naturally curious about my/everyone else's weight gain, how far along are you and how much weight have you gained so far? Also, is this your first or second? And, just for sh*ts and giggles, whats your biggest gripe about your pregnancy? Come on, let off some steam
I'll go first...
I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and I've gained 11 lbs so far. This is my second, which brings me to my gripe. Even though I havent gained that much weight, my belly is huuuuge. I look like I'm 9 months. I've compared pics from my first baby and I look twice the size! I'm scared what I'm gonna look like in afew months!
Happy Friday night everyone
Thanks for indulging me!

September 2016- Surprise BFP without medical assistance! New Baby due June 2017!
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
I started out underweight bc of a bad IBS flare up this summer and going to a week long festival where I had pre made all our food so binging or snacking wasn't an option. Sooo....I don't feel too badly about the weight gain. Especially since my pre pregnancy clothing still fits. My body fat % was too low before and is now at a good number.
My gripe is in my circle of girlfriends, a number of them have had babies already, and a few are giving me advice that is so basic that I already read about months ago. Like I am so stupid I don't do any of my own pregnancy research. Just bc I didn't have a regular 9-5 doesn't mean I'm lazy, and it gave me more time to research! And just because you co sleep and baby wear doesn't mean it's the gospel! I plan on getting a wipe warmer so shut up about it already.

Twins!!
We are having a BOY & a GIRL !!
My gripe is just the way my clothes fit. I can still wear some of my normal clothes, but they are a tad tight and uncomfortable. I feel like the maternity clothes are too big.
My gripe...people expecting me to carry on as if I'm not pregnant with twins and taking care of a 10yr old and 2 toddlers! Just bc I was more active last time...I only had 1 kiddo then! I'm freaking exhausted this time.
I think it's just a nature thing. I have a friend who's on kid 3 and she gained 4 pounds in all of her pregnancies. She didn't do anything extreme, she wasn't overly worried etc..it's just who she is.
As for me 26w, 2 days. I've gained 11 pounds. Which is my normal. With my first 2 I gained it all towards the end. I seem to have a lot of water weight issues. So I'm expecting it to catch up with me and I'll be up to the standard 30ish before it's done.

With my first pregnancy, I was so sick from 6 weeks on that I didn't gain weight until 20+ weeks at all. I started out at 125 and 5'8". I ended up gaining 34 lbs total, but could barely keep water down without drugs the entire pregnancy.
I wish I was able to exercise and eat well without puking for 7 months.
