CPW: Weight Gain

Emerald27 · May 2014

We've discussed this before, but it's been a month... :P

Starting with your pre-pregnancy weight, how much weight have you gained so far?

MrsSinner402 · May 2014

I dont like the 10-20 lb range. Its so large!

im roght around 11-12 lbs depending on dinner and poopability that day.

Emerald27 · May 2014

I haven't gained or lost a pound...which doesn't make sense seeing as my belly now extends beyond the boobs.

just curious to see how many other mamas haven't moved the scales one bit.

fisk2005 · May 2014

I'm about 10lbs heavier than my normal weight which isn't so bad considering I'm just about 5 months.

I should have done 10-15 and 15-20. :P Didn't want too many options! Oops.

I might be up by like 2 lbs depending on time of day I weigh myself. *hides*

agreed- too big but i know the bump limits how many choices so do what you gotta. 11lbs and i'm looking to only gain 25-30. hard to bounce back at my age especially since i don't exercise.

I'm 4lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight. My appetite is FINALLY back this week, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if that trend quickly reverses itself.

So far today I've eaten 2 eggo sandwiches (each w/ 2 whole wheat eggos, at least 1tbsp almond butter, and 1/2 an apple) and cottage cheese w/ strawberries. It's not even 11am yet... Oh and I'm still hungry!

What is this Eggo sandwich you speak of?!

SaphireShimmer · May 2014

I honestly don't even know. I haven't paid much attention when the dr weighs me.

I just stack eggos with things. This one was almond butter and apples. Nothing fancy or magical. Though it is really yummy if you stick some vanilla ice cream between the eggos.

In college, I loved to eat a waffle with a scoop of strawberry ice cream on top for breakfast...or dessert.

The waffle maker was one of those things they always kept out in the student center dining, and the ice cream freezer thing was always open.

lrobi13 · May 2014

I am at 9 lbs. No change in the last week but ob is going to run the GD test on me at 23 weeks

elsie2014 · May 2014

I am about even right now, but only because I lost a bunch in first tri and then gained it back slowly. I'm 18 weeks 5 days.

BeanNut · May 2014

10 exactly so I could have chosen either "5-10" or "10-20" but I picked "5-10" of course. Lol.

irisheyes317 · May 2014

Just got back from seeing the doctor and it looks like 9 pounds since my 6 week appointment. That seems like way too much for 15 weeks, especially since I was only up 2 pounds at my last appointment 3 weeks ago. This was a specialist, not my normal midwife/OB, so I'm telling myself that maybe their scales are a little off and it's actually less than that.

narabug · May 2014

My ob says I'm up 3 lbs, but I was really constipated at my first visit and wasn't when I went again Monday, so I think it's actually more than that. I clicked <5 lbs though.

MrsMac613 · May 2014

I have gained 1 lb. Next week I meet with a dietician for my GD so I don't expect to gain a ton of weight.

kgrisham18 · May 2014

I'm up 16 lbs in 19 weeks (although I did just get back from an all inclusive vaca). Seems like a lot but I don't feel that big and I still work out 5 times a week. We'll see what my doc says on Saturday.

windwithfingers · May 2014

I chose <5 lbs because at my 16 week appointment, I'd gained 1 pound, but we'll see what happens at my appointment on the 19th.

Maggie6424 · May 2014

I feel like I'm so much bigger than I should be, but I've lost 9 pounds.
I'm not hungry, but I am eating. And I'm working out a few days a week.

manateeliz · May 2014

I had lost 12 lbs during first trimester sickness, and am now up 3 lbs since then, so technically down 9, but I am hoping they will start counting from my low point. I need to gain at least 40 lbs with twins...yikes!

Oh that's right! I like your style.

dana2die4 · May 2014

I've gained 4 lbs as of today.

vrj0522 · May 2014

I am up a whooping 19 lbs. It's depressing and I'm jealous of all those that haven't gained any weight. I weigh myself every single day (always have) and have been shocked at times when I see a 2 or 3 weight gain from one day to the next. DH tries to console me saying it's not a real gain from one day to the next but so far once I gain, I don't go back down. OB thinks it might just be an early gain that will eventually even out and I hope she is right. I don't feel like I've been eating enough to gain that much weight but the gain says otherwise. On the plus side, I haven't gained anything in a week and hope it all slows down from here on out.

Heartwood0519 · May 2014

As of Monday, I'm up 4 pounds at 15 weeks and some change. My MFM OB said that's right where I should be. I'm just hoping I don't balloon later...

fireflyrebirth · May 2014

I am only getting weighed at appointments

So between first and second appointment I was down 2-3 lbs (I forget...). Between second and third I was up 5. So I've only netted 2 or 3 lbs so far.

DaniW1984 · May 2014

& 18.5 weeks, I'm up 11-12 lbs and I feel great! I'm both active & hungry. L'ego my Eggo!

angeltennis3 · May 2014

At 16 1/2 weeks I am down a pound, well as of 16 weeks...I just spent the last few days out of town so I may have gained back that pound.

However, I qualify this saying I am plus size to begin with so my total weight gain is supposed to stay in the 15-20 range and my doctor is encouraging me to stay as flat as I can at least through 20 weeks.

Taramocd · May 2014

I am up 9 lbs at 17 weeks.

Ravenbaby · May 2014

I'm up 13lbs. 7lb in first trimester 6lb in 2nd so far. More than I would like but I eat healthy... Maybe I allow myself a couple meow sweets than I should

reneenearl · May 2014

At 15 weeks I am up three.

themiss · May 2014

I lost about 3-4 pounds in the first trimester and have stayed the same since then.

However, I'm quite overweight, so I'm eating healthier and smaller portions now because I just can't eat as much. My stomach is definetely growing, but I guess the rest of me is losing.

roundabout2 · May 2014

I picked 5-10 sine i was up @10 sunday, but I've been in Chicago all week for an academy (work training) and they have fed us VERY well. I'm gonna hate stepping on the scale when I get home..

archi35 · May 2014

I'm up 8 but my OB said it also depends on what your body was like beforehand. I worked out a lot and was very healthy before, so the first tri of crackers, bread, butter and sloth were not particularly beneficial. She said +15 for one person can be another person's -10 depending. That's the story I like so I'm sticking with what she says

linnae939 · May 2014

I lost about 12 lbs, BUT i finally gained most of it back, so I'm going with maintained prepregnancy weight

Firemanswife11 · May 2014

I gained about 10 in first tri because ALL I could eat was junk. Greasy, starchy, carby. I'm a vegetarian and any thought of greens, other veggies or fruit made me gag. I literally did not buy one healthy thing for like, 8 weeks. Doctor said I was gaining too quickly right about the time I started craving "good" food again, and I lost about 4 pounds. Now I am at 7 pounds total weight gain at 16+1. I'm 5'9" and usually about 160 pounds (at the doctor's office ... 150 on home scale, hehe.) Doctor said I am on track for healthy weight gain so long as I continue to eat healthy.

But yesterday I ate half a large pizza and managed to drink an entire 2-liter of Diet Pepsi though. Oops.

Same here- my belly is now showing aNd boobs are easily a cup size bigger- I think I must be losing in one area and moving it to another? Lol

tamibattle · May 2014

I have only put on 3lbs since I found out I was pregnant. I'm 18w3d. I had bad m/s up until the end of my 17th week. My dr seems pleased that I am putting on weight slowly. Baby is measuring correctly and that's what he seems to be most concerned about. I am definitely showing and my boobs haven't gotten much bigger...

ImALittleDutchGirl · May 2014

I'm up 1 pound at 16 weeks. But I wasn't super skinny to begin with so I'm hoping to only gain around 20.

CynthiaVRey · May 2014

I'm scared to look I feel about 10 pounds heavier

Eastie156 · May 2014

I lost 6 lbs, but at my appointment on Friday had gained 2 back. So in all, I'm down 4 lbs. I'm much heavier than I was 1st pregnancy though. 1st pregnancy I gained close to 50 lbs with DS.
