Throughout the entire pregnancy I have gained a few pounds a month barely enough to get by but my doctor wasnt worried. Now in the past month I've put on 12lbs!!!
My doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but it seems so backwards from everything I've read. All the books say I should be slowing my weight gain, but my body has other ideas.
Anybody else gain a ton of weight in a short amount of time this late?
 
I wouldn'tt worry. Just watch what you eat and stay as active as you can.
 
I do it the other way round. I gain 18lb in the first trimester and then slowly gain for the rest of my pregnancy. Everyone gains at different rates, most of it is water weight any way :)
 
I gained 12lbs in 2 weeks but now it has steadied and I haven't gained much more since
 
I thought you were supposed to put on the majority of your weight in the last 10 weeks. I read you can put on 1-2lb's a week . Up until 28 weeks i'd only put on 9lb and now it the last 3/4 weeks i've put on 5lbs x
 
I feel like I'm suddenly piling it on :( I lost 21lbs in 1st tri, put 8lbs on up until 30 weeks and then suddenly I've put 6lbs on in the last fortnight. I know I haven't reached pre-pregnancy weight but I am overweight anyway. It makes me worried about how much I'll put on in the next 7-8 weeks.
 
I put on 11lbs in 3 weeks, midwife wasn't too happy with me but I can't help it as I'm active & don't eat too bad. The joys of pregnancy =)
 
I have no idea when I put on my weight but at about 7 weeks I was weighed by my midwife and was 54kg and she hasn't weighed me since! I weighed myself for the first time last night though, and weigh 10.9 and 3/4 which comes up to about 64kg. I'm 31+5 weeks with my first baby and I'm 20! It doesn't look like I've put on weight anywhere else apart from my belly, and my baby is right on the middle line of the chart. So I don't really don't know where the weight is! Anyway, don't worry about the weight gain, you've not put on much. And every woman is different.
