Weight gain

kitkat8387 · February 2017

I'm up 35 lbs at 34 weeks...definitely not great considering I was a little overweight before pregnancy (~5 lbs according to BMI so not really overweight but still). I am just trying to keep an eye on it and walk as much as possible, but it's hard because whenever I walk more than a mile or so I get a LOT of BH and it makes me so nervous. I used to hike a TON, and do zumba a couple times a week, but I just can't do those anymore. Girl scout cookie season is also not helping lol!! Honestly though, I am not too worried about it...I figure the timing of baby's arrival will be good for getting out there this summer (hopefully I'll get the green light to exercise again right around memorial day) and summer in Colorado makes it really easy to be active.

I am 34 weeks and up 30. Which is way more than I expected. My OB isn't concerned, even with my pre pregnancy BMI being high. I ask every appointment and he always tells me its no big deal and just keep doing what I'm doing. I gained nothing until 20 weeks and it started slow. Now I seem to be gaining it quickly.

32 weeks and gained 24.2. The funny thing is I hardly gained any weight in the third tri, even though baby is growing properly. I gained most of this in 1st and 2nd.

Last week at my 32w appointment I think I'd gained around 30 pounds. My doctor hasn't really said anything. I'm trying hard to be chill about it. I was a normal weight to start. I've been consistently working out and trying hard to just eat the way I ate before, which is pretty healthy. My maternity pants aren't any tighter than when I bought them. My BFF was in town this weekend for my shower and I told her how much I'd gained and she was shocked and said that I honestly didn't look different (minus the basketball I've been storing under my shirt). I can only assume it's muscle, water, blood, baby, boobs, etc. At least that's what I keep telling myself....it's cool...totally fine...

I'm 34w and I've gained 30lbs. I gained most in 1st and 2nd tri. I haven't gain any weight between my last two appointments despite growing on the outside. I'm glad it's slowed down. Hopefully I can keep it around 35lbs.

So far this pregnancy I'm up 19 lbs. I only gained 1 lb the past 4 weeks, but I had the weird gallbladder spasm and a stomach virus shortly after, so that probably explains the lack of gaining. I gained 32 lbs my first pregnancy, but I also started out about 5 lbs heavier this pregnancy, so I think I'm on track to end up about the same as I did last time.

If I can remember, I was about 4 months PP before I could fit into my old clothes. That, or I wasn't ready to give up the comfy maternity pants...

33 weeks and I'm still only up about 5 pounds. I'm trying not to freak out about it since my OB isn't worried (she actually keeps joking that I'll leave the hospital lighter than when I started this process), but I wasn't overweight to begin with...about 10 pounds heavier than I was when I got KU with DS, but nothing in the "overweight" category. That, and people keep commenting on how small my belly is (it's on par with how big I was with DS though) just has me super anxious. Hoping that I've just lost a lot of muscle mass since I haven't been running/weightlifting much since the first trimester when I started feeling gross.

@SnarkasaurusRex so aggravating!! I get the small belly comments all day everyday. I'm about to just wear sweatshirts when I'm out so people can't even tell I'm pregnant and I don't have to go through the whole song and dance when they inevitably ask when I'm due and then are scandalized that it's next month (I know I'm technically on the wrong board - I just didn't realize my dates were off until after that small bit of drama with the March board and I was already commenting a ton here). It's getting into my head a lot lately. Part of me is glad my Dr is sending me for a growth scan next week, but I also don't really think the size measurements are that accurate so I don't really want to put too much stock in them no matter what the result. Bleh.

I am up 25 pounds at 32 weeks. I had only gained about 4 pounds up until 20 weeks. After that it really went crazy. I gained 20 pounds in 10 weeks. Only gained about a pound in the last 2 weeks so maybe I can hope I am slowing down now. With DD1 I gained 45 pounds starting from a nice healthy average weight. I started this one about 15 pounds heavier so I was hoping to stay around 30 pounds. I'm not feeling like that is going to happen at this point. I am officially at my heaviest ever right now and feeling it. ugh. My back rolls are out of control. I feel so unattractive.

32 week appointment and I'm up 26lbs. Not worried because I gained 30lb with my first.

MrsBakes · February 2017

I'm up 2lbs from 2 weeks ago. (Had my appointment yesterday) So I'm doing the same tempo as with my first pregnancy. I stopped gaining weight once I hit 37 weeks. If that proves to be true through the rest of this pregnancy, I'll be just about 35lbs up. If not, meh LOL

I'm 32w1d and had been overly concerned about my weight gain and the stresses it may lead to while pregnant and during delivery. I'm completely surprised by how little weight I've gained, given the fact that I started with a BMI of 40. My total weight gain is 4lbs and DS is in 30%, completely healthy. I'm so thankful.

With DD my pre pregnancy BMI was 37 and I gained a total of 17lbs.

I'm up 25lbs at 33+3 weeks. I think I'll still gain about 5 lbs more my doc said in the belly

kay707kay · March 2017

36 weeks and gained 32 pounds

HappyAnjel · March 2017

36 weeks and I'm up 27 pounds

HGRich · March 2017

At my appt today (34+3) I was up 17 pounds from pre-pregnancy and 23 including weight lost in the first trimester. But I've been gaining 1.5-2lbs each week for the last few, so I see myself gaining another 8 maybe. Especially if she drops enough to let me eat again.

smoochie041719 · March 2017

36 weeks up 22 lbs as of my appt today at 36+1

aboxofchocolates · March 2017

I feel huge. Up 30 lbs at 33+4

smallanimal · March 2017

@HGRich yep, exactly that - i want to eat but can't have much in one sitting and I am not at all a grazer. Hopefully he stays head down and engages soon so that I can eat a bit more
