17 weeks and gained 20 lbs! Someone PLEASE tell me I'm not alone :(

[SleepDeprived]

With my first, I averaged a pound a week. Per-pregnancy weight was 100 lbs ... I ended up at 138. On my petite frame, it was a lot of weight! I stayed in my mat clothes for 4 months post partum which is when the weight started coming off. I ended up less than my ore-pregnancy weight about 8 months post-partum ... I'm sure that breast feeding played a huge role! So don't worry ... Your rate of weight gain is normal, not to worry!

I gained a lot...I'm 27 weeks & my weight gain is about about 26-27 pounds...not feeling so great about it at all, but for some reason my doctor doesn't seem worried. He keeps telling me it's okay & that it all evens out. I was freaking out and told him I don't wanna go over the 35 pounds and he goes it's okay if you do.I'm really not eating a lot of sweets, I'm not going crazy on food, but yet still some how i'm gaining weight extremely fast. SO STRESSED AND MISERABLE BECAUSE OF IT, so you are not alone. I was 128-130 pre-pregnancy & 2 weeks ago when I was at doctors I was 154, I'm 5'5 hight.
That's a huge weight gain by the 27th week, and 2 weeks ago I was 25 weeks.
Not sure why my doctor doesn't seem worried at all??
When I complained, he did say I could cut down on carbs if im worried.
but i'm not eating that much as it is, why in the world am i putting on weight like a big cow?

That's the way I feel! I know I'm eating a bit more - but good god, not enough to have gained 20 pounds!

LIVEBYTHESEA: Totally get you!!! this is nuts, seems like pounds are piling up like they are nothing. Where in the world is all the weight going. lol. It's hard as it is walking with the big belly and we gotta carry the extra weight around along with it.

I have no idea how much I weighed when I got pregnant so it's hard to know for sure. I'll guess I've gained around 15 to 18 pounds so far. I have a higher BMI so I really shouldn't be gaining so much! But honestly, I had been dieting all year and as soon as I found out I was pg....I went a little crazy the first 2 months. Now that I've settled down, I'm gaining at a normal pace and my OB isn't concerned If you're eating (mostly) healthy, you should be okay!

SAME HERE! I had lost a bunch of weight right before I got pregnant because I was getting ready for my wedding. I went nuts and gained about 15 pounds in the first couple months, and since then I've gained about 6 pounds. My midwife did give me a hard time about it at my last appointment but she was a different midwife than I usually deal with, and I was wearing super heavy boots that day when I got on the scale so... whatever! I eat all healthy stuff, so I'm not going to worry about it.

Hun every pregnancy is different. I'm not sure how much I'd gained by this time with DD, but total was 50lbs. I put on weight quick and slowed down at the end. I couldn't believe it since I was going to the gym 4 days a week, running, and eating super healthy. Not to mention working 50 hrs a week on my feet!

This pregnancy, no gym, eating crap, not working and have only gained 9lbs so far! I think it just depends on baby, though I'm convinced now with a girl you put on more weight right away, since my first baby was a girl and I was all butt, hips, thighs. This time I'm all belly and not putting on weight and it's a boy!

See I put on only about 16lbs with my DD pregnancy in total. I was very overweight when pregnant with her.

This time I've already put on 9lbs and can see more to come. The only difference so far is I've had no morning sickness this time and was sick all the way through with first pregnancy

klcuk3: I had much worse sickness with my DD too, puked EVERYDAY. This one hasn't been nearly as bad. I had VERY low body fat when I got pregnant with her, around 12%. Definatly don't have that now!

Livebythesea : Yay, you might have a little girl in there. It was like instant I was pregnant the ass expanded and my thighs got HUUUGE! All my friends pregnant with boys were nothing but bellies!
