Weight Gain.

KristiKubic · January 2014

How much weight has everyone gained? I am going to be 21 weeks on Friday and I have gained about 9lbs I will have to double check when I get home to make sure but last week I was at 8lbs. I was worried I wasn't gaining enough but my doctor said I am text book and baby is growing well so no worries. Just trying to see where everyone else is.

19 lbs in 19 weeks. I feel like a giant cow....

17lbs in 17weeks...I too feel like a cow

16 pounds in almost 19 weeks. My MW and I talked about it yesterday. Since I was a "bigger woman" (I hate that -- I feel like as a size 12 I'm a pretty normal woman) the recommendation would have been to gain around 15-20 pounds in pregnancy, so clearly that's fucked. So I'm aiming to "slow down" my gain for the second half of pregnancy. Nixing all sugar, juice, etc. It sucks, because I eat pretty healthy -- no fast food, very little junk food, lots of meat and veg. It's just that a) it's winter in Ohio and b) I took a new sedentary job, and c) I gained about 9 pounds in my first trimester from sleeping and being able to eat nothing but mashed potatoes.

@mskristen2003, we should start the MooMoo weekly check in lol. We can discuss how wide our asses are getting while debating peanut butter chips vs. hot fudge on our ice cream.

Eh, -3 at 16 weeks due to all day nausea and food poisoning this last week

mskristen2003 · January 2014

@jshrop Im game!

I weighed myself yesterday and have gained about 10 pounds in 17 weeks. I was having all-day nausea over the weekend so I know I probably lost a few pounds from that. I made up for it last night with two bowls of pasta!

gregsgurl81304 · January 2014

9 lbs in 18 weeks. Feeling like Im on the right track and trying to a healthy pregnancy.

tdf2010 · January 2014

I've gained 3-4 lbs at 17 weeks.

roundthree24 · January 2014

Almost 20 weeks and technically -1 because of all the weight I lost during my 1st tri nausea. I have an entire cheesecake in my fridge that's been calling my name so that number's gonna change real fast.

Empuesch · January 2014

I've lost 12lbs or so in 16 weeks, my doctor says it's nothing to be concerned about.

MamaTree17 · January 2014

9 lbs at 18 weeks. More than I'd like but it is what it is. It's winter and I'd normally gain a few pounds and I know come spring I'll eat differently and exercise more. Not concerned.

k318 · January 2014

15 pounds at 19 weeks and as much as I would like to say idgaf, I can't bc I feel like a cow. With my bmi I should gain about 35 lbs and I am on track for that but I just feel like I am getting wider rather than getting a bump

CreEspree · January 2014

20 weeks tomorrow.. -22. Which is actually a major improvement.

chaysefaith · January 2014

-6.5 at 17 weeks. If I had known all I needed to do to lose weight was get knocked up I would have done it sooner. Weight loss due to blood loss.

Pepper6 · January 2014

I'm still down -3 lbs due to 1st tri loss of appetite.

hjl050308 · January 2014

I'll be 19 weeks tomorrow and am up 3 pounds. I was overweight to start with so I'm right on track. Baby is doing wonderful

pfefferlel · January 2014

i'm at +2 lbs. at 19 weeks and started at a healthy BMI. i've also been concerned i'm not meeting milestones and gaining like i should be. my doctor called me a "late gainer" and said not to worry: that the weight would certainly come.

hollygb22 · January 2014

i'm 20 weeks today and up 6lbs

I wouldn't fret..you'll have weeks you gain nothing and weeks you pack on 5 lbs. I just try and keep it healthy and think that what I put in my mouth is nutrition for the baby.

TonyaCody06 · January 2014

8lbs at 18 weeks

kittenslove · January 2014

17 weeks, -3lbs.

crossfitkiwi · January 2014

Lynnja616 · January 2014

Ladies with little gain- don't get too cocky. It can turn around in a second!

I have a feeling this is going to be me. I am 20 weeks and put on 3 lbs last week alone and I ate so healthy! I think the second half is going to be my downfall.

KristiKubic · January 2014

Sounds like everyone is very different depending on body type, pregnancy and lifestyle. I am actually surprised I have not gained more than 8lbs since I am not eating as healthy as I usually would have. I don't eat junk food though I just will opt for a bagel now versus eating eggs. I am on track to gain +1lbs per week now until the end if I will only be that lucky!

amackattack · January 2014

i gained 7 lbs this morning at just under 18 weeks.

MrsCase1 · January 2014

9ish pounds in 17 weeks. Kill me now.

melody7878 · January 2014

11 pounds at 19 weeks. Midwife said 10pounds by 20 weeks would be ideal so I'm close. :-)

Cwg22 · January 2014

4-5 pounds at 16 weeks

MNOpea · January 2014

About 5lbs at 17w

kellyjayne · January 2014

8-10 pounds (depending on the day) between 19 and 20 weeks. I had gained a little over 10 by my 16 week appointment and my midwife told me I was a bit ahead of the curve, but between the holidays being over and this cough/cold I have, my appetite has scaled back and I have lost a little.

zipscheer07 · January 2014

When I went in last which was at 16 weeks, I only gained 2 lbs. I was worried but doctor said it was fine and LO is growing strong. I hope to not gain more than 20 this time around since last one I ate like a cow and gained 40 and that was WAY to much!

Rosebud2587 · January 2014

I've gained 2 lbs so far, but I also had horrible morning sickness so I barely ate anything for the first 16 weeks.

layersofmeaning · January 2014

At my last appointment (12 weeks) I hadn't gained anything. My 16 week appointment is tomorrow (I'll be 16w4 days) and I know after the holidays, there will be some weight gain. I will report back tomorrow.
