My husband and I have started a habit of high fiving each other at the doctor's office after they weigh me no matter what the number says and going to 5 guys after the appointment for cheeseburgers. You know, because, cheeseburgers. Started it at my 9 weeks appointment and we're still going strong. Those are by far the best part of my weight gain.
Edited, spelling at 4 am is tricky. Stupid back pain.
I am with a lot of you ladies! I stopped looking at the scale once the number made me cry. I told the doc not to tell me what I weigh unless it concerns them. I feel good about myself right now, and my doctors aren't worried even though I know I have gained a lot, and that's all that matters.
I used to be lactose intolerant before I got pregnant and now I'm not!! So I am eating ALL THE ICE CREAM!! I haven't been able to eat ice cream without getting sick since I was a kid so f it! I am going to live it up while I can and worry about my weight later we are all beautiful pregnant ladies growing our tiny humans. Who cares how much we weigh? If the doc doesn't care I don't care!! Bring on the ice cream
Although it was yucky to see this thread was started for comparisons, it makes me feel relieved to know I'm not the only one who has said **** it at this point! My weight is already at the maximum end of what I "should" have gained and I still have 6-8 weeks to go. After trying to do things the right way, I don't care anymore. My doctor said I won't want to take it off after, but he doesn't really know me. I embrace the challenge, and I'm fully aware it's not going to fall off in a day. So I will definitely be weighing myself right before I head into L&D so I can challenge myself!

@shaylalr you aren't alone. I was lactose intolerant before becoming pregnant and even more so now. I used to be able to take a lactaid to eat ice cream and now they no longer work for me
Im not lactose intolerant anymore either now that I am pregnant. I have avoided most dairy for the past 10 years...all of a sudden in my first trimester I started craving milk..I got crazy if I don't have at least one glass of milk a day. Ice cream is also something I never ate before, now it is slowly becoming a regular thing lol...
Pregnancy spurred my lactose intolerance, too. I thought this one might magically reverse it. Noooope. It's possibly gotten worse. I fucking love dairy so it's killing me.
I've gained about 30. Going into week 31. I know I haven't been eating as healthy as I should, but I drink tons of water and I'm on my feet for 40 hours a week. My mom gained 60 with me. Some of my docs remind me I was only supposed to gain 15, but one doc said he would use the pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever he wanted. I'm healthy. Blood pressure is fine, no GD... Bring on the Ben & Jerry's.
I managed to lose some weight for my first two trimesters (amazing what not drinking anymore does lol), but the past two or 3 visits to the drs I have been gaining back in 4 or 5 lb increments. Hit my pre-pregnancy weight plus a bit more and I am sure it will keep going up as I get closer and closer. This, by no means is me bragging considering I am over weight to begin with. I was actually worried that I was losing weight at first because I know having a LO tends to add pounds rather than subtract.
I am also on the "I don't care" train when it comes to how much I end up gaining. As long as I leave that doctors office with good news about a healthy, growing little boy in me, I am happy.
12 pounds at 33 weeks.. starting to hv some back pain this week so exercised only 2 days this week..hopefully it gets better next week.i am 5 feet tall so need to keep moving to reduce my back pain
I'm 34 weeks and I was told the other day by a notoriously unpleasant, childless coworker that, "Theres no way you've only gained 15 lbs. You're so much bigger than that." Accompanied by a lovely little hand gesture toward my belly.
Today my grandpa told me i look terrible and should put a jacket on or something to cover my belly (I had a tshirt dress on), a 3 year old little girl at church said i look big and that she remembers when I was smaller (LOL) and then another woman said "ohh, you must be getting close!!" (I actually still have 2 months to go...thanks). So I'm guessing I'm not doing so great with the weight gain situation haha!!
35lbs at 34wks... I was somewhat relieved that my gaining rate slowed down the past month but I've also decided not to weigh myself unless I'm at the doc's... So I don't think or care about it too much... It was helpful to hear from coworkers that the guidelines are pretty unrealistic; they all seemed quite healthy when they were pregnant and said they went way above guidelines and it was fine...
I'm up 27 pounds at 30 weeks. I have no idea where it is, because I am still able to fit into pre-pregnancy pants (buttoned up in some cases). I think it's a combination of having a baby that's measuring 5 weeks ahead, boobs that have gone up 4/pushing 5 cup sizes and drinking a lot of water and not peeing as much.
I've legit stopped caring. I'm still doing pilates/PT when I can (if the pain isn't too bad) but other then that I have decided I will deal with it after. I am crazy hungry all the time and I dare someone to tell me to stop eating. Plus I am currently obsessed with cake. I would eat a whole one if DH would let me.
I weighted my self today, I finally lost some of that really bad swelling. So I am up 11.8 pounds at 30 weeks. Trust me, it's not for a lack of trying.
STM advice: don't spend too much time worrying about the numbers on a scale. Do your best to be healthy for yourself and the baby, and remember that your mental health is A big part of what is important. Don't let your weight affect your joy or your focus on preparing for motherhood. You're about to have a baby...you'll have plenty of time to deal with the pounds later. I've battled weight issues for most of my life, but let me tell you, that baby is gonna be the most amazing thing that has ever come from you, and you have so much to look forward to with happy anticipation. Enjoy the journey, ladies. We are almost at the point of meeting our littles.
First of all, who are you OP? Also, I'm not one to tell people what to write but your post came off less than supportive.
I'd like to echo the above sentiment. I gained 55 pounds with my first pregnancy and it was considered a healthy pregnancy. Please don't read through this thread and measure yourself up against anyone else. If your doctor says you're okay, you're okay. If you gain "a lot" of weight and want to lose it after baby, you will. If you gain "a lot" of weight and don't really feel pressured by it, that's fine too. These posts make me ragey but putting ourselves on a measuring stick is less than helpful... to anyone.
30 pounds at 31 weeks! Everyone says from that from the front or the back, I "don't even look pregnant!" so I'm not too worried about it, even though its maybe more than "recommended!"
I think most of that weight is in the boobs (much to my hubby's happiness!)
Oh my god, yass girl, I totally don't even look pregnant except in my ginormous boobs, too!!! Except I ALSO don't look it from the SIDE, not just the front or the back! Isn't it AMAZING?
I have gained more than I wanted to, but I gained 10 pounds just in the first tri, so I kind of expected it. I had my 32 week appointment today and just said screw it and left my shoes on to get on the scale. It is what it is.

ALL THE DAIRY!!! No matter the pain! I've given no F***s in a long time about the pain all that deliciousness causes, it's totally worth it!
I love funfetti! It was my husband's bday party over the weekend and I got him a chocolate on chocolate and a mini funfetti for everyone who wasn't into the chocolate. I had both, no regrets
Done caring.. I'm officially huge. No idea how much I've gained I know it's more then 30lbs and quite frankly I don't want to know. I'll deal with it after baby is born.
Yellow cake with chocolate frosting. OR devil's food cake with cream cheese frosting. I love both.
This. Betty Crocker GF Devil's Food Cake (because of legit reaction to gluten...id never give it up by choice) with Cream cheese frosting is one of my favorite things on this earth.
