Can we do another weight gain check in?

imagine7696030614 · June 2014

Sorry, I know there are a lot of weight related posts but just curious how many are in the same boat. I'm 24 weeks and up 20 lbs already. Anyone else on the same track? I've mentioned in a few different posts that I typically gain about 60 lbs with each pregnancy. I'm wondering if it's even possible to gain another 40 lbs in the next 16 weeks...hope not!

pnwlover12 · June 2014

I've gained 18lbs so far. I'm thrilled with that # too. With my first, I BLEW up. Like at this point, I was already up 40lbs.

*ETA* I'll be 23 weeks on Sunday

Taramocd · June 2014

15lbs at 23 weeks.

Lauren1184 · June 2014

I'm up 17 lbs and I'm 22 wks 4 days. My OB hasn't said anything, so I'm not worried.

ETA: Your weight gain also depends on your weight/BMI before getting pregnant, comparing with us might not be of much help.

I'm 21w4d and I've gained about 9 lbs.

staryb · June 2014

Wow, you ladies are making me feel a lot better! I'm 23 weeks and up 20 lbs as of this morning. My last ob appointment I had shot up 10 lbs in 4 weeks and I was advised not to gain more than 4 lbs by my next visit as I only really need to gain about 35 lbs overall. I've been careful and haven't gained anything since but now I'm sitting here eating donuts and my next appointment is in 5 days so we'll see...

beachbumsc · June 2014

So glad I'm not alone in this...lol. I've gained 20lbs so far. I'm a FTM, but the women in my family typically gain 40-60 lbs and haven't had problems losing it after, so I'm not too worried about it.

grazi36 · June 2014

I'm almost 24 weeks and I'm up about 20 lbs. It's my first so I have nothing to compare it to. I do have a natural tendency to gain weight so I'm really not surprised to gain this much. In my defense, my ankles and feet are SO swollen so I'm retaining a ton of water. My doctor hasn't said anything yet....we'll see what happens at my next appointment.

ladybug0088 · June 2014

I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and up 6 pounds but had a little extra fluff before we got pregnant. I'm just trying to be really cautious...

Wino411 · June 2014

I'm up 20lbs today but my doc has said my weight is good.

NavyFlyer · June 2014

I'm up 13 lbs at 24 weeks, 5 days.

jenndub · June 2014

I'm up 18 pounds at 25 weeks. With my first three, I gained 25, 29 and 29. Looks like I'm going to get over 30 this time around. I'm not too worried about it.

Syllessa · June 2014

I'm 25wks 4days and I've gained 3lbs.

stvetter · June 2014

Um.....I'm at 24 weeks and I'm up 35 pounds. I am not worried at all! The doctor says that I am healthly and the baby is healthy so I am not going to sit and worry about my weight. I lost 40 pounds 4 years ago and have been watching everything I eat since then and I just wanted to enjoy my pregnancy and not worry about weight for 9 months. It is going to take 9 months to grow this baby and it will probably take me longer to loss the weight....but who cares.

tucker1384 · June 2014

I'm up 9 pounds as of last week at the doctors I refuse to weigh myself daily, it would stress me out. I gained about 35 with DD. However I started about 14 pounds heavier with this little dude.

shannonshare · June 2014

I've gained 13 lbs since 3/20...before then I hadn't weighed myself so I don't have an exact gain calculation. I'm 23 weeks and 4 days.

BeanNut · June 2014

17 lbs at 24.5 weeks. 5 of those pounds in the last 2 weeks (yikes!) but if I remember correctly, the end of 2nd tri and beginning of 3rd tri are the heaviest gain times. Still hoping to stay at or below 30 total. OP, like you, I usually am up more with my pregnancies--the last 2 I gained 50 total (and a lot more by this point, wish I remembered how much!).

Thewizardofrhythm · June 2014

I'm up 15. Started at 118 and am now 133. I think the weight gain itself has to be viewed in light of how much you weighed pre pregnancy and how fast you've gained.

angelle530 · June 2014

I'm 22w5days and up 21 lbs! Don't feel bad! We all gain at our own pace! Though I must admit I've been eating a lot of sweets!!!

MrsSinner402 · June 2014

I'm 25w tomorrow and up about 19-20lbs from conception. I had already gained some by my first weigh in at the doctors office. So according to them I've only gained about 15-16.

Better not believe that doc and start a separate thread for attention Bahahahaha!

@Nicb13 - Oh no! My professionally trained OB has said my weight is fine but my pastor said the lord spoke to him and I should only be up 10lbs and I had a dream I was only supposed to be up 15lbs b/c my twin kangiraptors are measuring small! HELP!!!!11

TheOtherJacobsons · June 2014

@Nicb13 Due date buddies, with girls, and I have also only gained 10lbs. What's your sign

tamibattle · June 2014

I'm 24weeks 3days and have gained 8lbs from my first weigh in. I had terrible morning sickness and ended up losing weight in the first trimester.

HappyCianci · June 2014

I'm 23+5 and up about 18 pounds. I began with a very low BMI and expect to gain a lot. With my son I gained 38 pounds, which was/is right on target for me.

vmt617 · June 2014

22 weeks and I'm up 5lbs from my pregnancy weight but lost 6 lbs once pregnant before I started gaining, so I would say I'm up 11 lbs overall.

golfingdarwinfish · June 2014

I don't know what my weight was going into pregnancy, and I don't know the monthly deltas. At my cardiologist appointment on Wednesday she stated that my weight gain is appropriate given where I am in this pregnancy.

I hope appropriate is truly appropriate.

:-S

jesslinnn · June 2014

17lbs at 25 weeks. I gained 19 total with my other two, so it's kind of a bummer to see I'm already so close to that. But, I lost about 25lbs in the year between having DS2 and getting pregnant this time, so I think that caused me to gain a bit quicker/more this time.

[Deleted User] · June 2014

21w3d, I think? I always have to check my siggy. I'm up 20.5 pounds. I've been concerned about my weight, but my doc isn't. I decided to let it go.

Ravenbaby · June 2014

Im up 20lbs. Hoping to stay at 40 or under total. Fingers crossed but not too worried. I gained 60lbs with my son and it all came off. It was just a lot of work lol

JessicaAnnSchroeder · June 2014

Me too!

ss265 · June 2014

I'm at 21.5lbs at almost 25 weeks but only gained 1.5lbs in the last 4 weeks. Cutting out all those milkshakes from Sonic and Coke slushies helped, I guess.

I am weird in that with DS1, I gained 20lbs in 1st and 2nd tri and only 5lbs in 3rd tri after following the GD diet religiously. I'm hoping that the weight gain will be similar with DS2 but am not concerned since I dropped almost all the weight from DS1 (and then some) through nursing. I am completely choosing to ignore that I am 2 years older now and that my metabolic rate may be different.

narabug · June 2014

I was up 10 lbs at my last appointment. I think I was 19w. No idea what I've gained since then though.

heathera1979 · June 2014

Up 4-5 @ 24w5d, I'm sure I'll catch up toward the end

miss.brittany · June 2014

I'm 23 weeks and up 19 pounds. I haven't been thrilled with that since I only gained 25 with my first and I was really hoping to gain around the same again. Oh well. My midwife hasn't said anything so I'm sure I'm doing ok. And I'm eating healthy foods and I know that's what's really important for baby.

Kendrav4 · June 2014

6lbs at 22.5 week. I'm on a GD diet though so that keeps my weight gain minimal

rlwright20 · June 2014

This is my first baby and I have gained 9 pounds at 22 weeks

russinangl · June 2014

I am 23 weeks today and have gained 7lbs

ashcakes921 · June 2014

From 9 weeks to 22 weeks I'm up 4 pounds. I started out overweight so I'm glad

mrstorrestobe · June 2014

I'm up 22lbs at 22 weeks and not really worried about it. I gained 55lbs with my first and 45lbs with my second. I lost every bit of the weight with both of them in the first 4 months after they were born. Just looking forward to getting skinny again and this time, seriously toned after the baby is born!
