OMG just had my 28 week apt... 9 lbs!!!??

What the hell. I'm 4"11. 9lbs in one month is not ok... Especially not if it happens every month now.

I don't even eat bad I swear! I feel so frustrated.

:(

  • Lol I thought the same thing! =))
  • I gained several pounds between 24 and 28 weeks also! For seemingly no reason. When I had my u/s a couple of days later the baby had gained close to 2 lbs though..,

    Don't worry about the number it's all about how you feel. I feel like I gained weight as soon as I found out. I'm 4"11 too. I used to be tiny but my body has changed a lot to support this belly. If you stayed the same weight you were at and carried this baby you'd probably topple over. Don't stress. We are almost done, then you can get your fitness on.
  • Omg... totally thought it was the baby!!!! LMAO
  • I thought it was the baby too! That's a relief! You're probably just retaining water - don't stress about it.
  • I gained 8 pounds between appointments a couple of months ago. If your doctor isn't worried then you shouldn't worry either! :)

    I guess I am the only one that assumed it was your weight! I KNOW I've gained this month. My appointment is next week, along with my GD test. Guess I should lay off the sour patch kids!
  • Same! I knew you were talking about weight because I thought the same when I found out I gained TWELVE pounds in a month! I didn't tell her on time that I didn't even want to before she said 'well this can't be right' ...I just about cried!

    But it's okay! I have a big, healthy baby & I'm hoping I have a lot of water weight that breastfeeding will help with! Just 2 1/2 more months left!
  • Gained 10 pounds in a month, I don't understand it either!
  • Lol at the rate I'm going this baby WILL be a 9 pounder!
  • I gained 8 pounds in the month, 23 overall. My doctor told me I can only gain 2 pounds this month. Had my glucose test today, hoping my results come back good.
  • Its so weird how we gain weight during pregnancy. Ive only gained 8 pounds total so far and im 27 weeks. Im not even trying to keep the weight down. Well i dont want to gain too much but im not making any effort to keep it off. With my first i gained 60 pounds most of it toward the end. It felt like i was gaining weight just by breathing. I really hope i dont start packing the pounds on though. They become so hard to get rid of later and i wasnt thin to begin with.
  • I'm 4'11 too! Ugh but I think I've gained closer to 20. Doc doesn't seem concerned but I feel huge.
  • I'm 5'2 and that happened to me at my last visit. Usually I'd go up a pound to 3 lbs. Last visit I put on 9. And did nothing different than the previous months.

    Crap !! I thought your baby weighed 9 lbs already - lol Maybe you are just retaining a gallon of water which weighs 8lbs - lol
    *lurking*

    Gah, I was thinking this too, and I don't pray often, but I was praying for your vagina.

    FWIW, my weight didn't start increasing substantially until about the same point. I gained almost all of my pregnancy weight in the last trimester.
  • Haha so glad I wasn't the only one who opened this thinking you already had a 9lb baby! I gained 10 pounds between my last two appointments too and know how horrifying it is! Especially when you are still trying to eat well and exercise, it's frustrating! My doctor made me cry, told me I was getting too heavy and essentially put me on a diet and told me not to gain another pound. Ugh pregnancy is so fun!

  • Lol i've gained over 30 already, and i'll be 27 weeks Thursday. My doctor must think it's okay, but i'm worried about my glucose test that i'll be taking this week also! Now we all just guess how much weigh i'll gain everytime I go, just to make it less hurtful to my feelings. :D
