Just went to the dr. today for my 4 week check up. Since I was 19weeks I have gained 8lbs!!! When I saw the number on the scale my jaw dropped to the ground. I hadn't weighed myself for a while and I just got back from going out of town (and eating whatever I wanted). This was really shocking because I hadn't gained much up until now. I expected it to be more gradual. When I look online I am 1lbs lower that my target weight range for my height. But my Dr. seemed surprised and told me to eat healthier and get more excercise (which I plan on). Now I'm concerned I am going to keep going at this rate. She asked me to explain the weight gain and it was really a combo of things. I had m/s on and off till about 17 weeks, plus there was the holidays and it's been rainy so I haven't been walking as much. Also, I've pretty much been letting myself eat whatever I want. Now I feel like I need to keep a closer eye on what I eat (cut out some sweets). I don't feel like I've gained that much, and I think it's all in my bump.
Just wondering if anyone else had a sudden weight gain in such a short period of time. I just keep reminding myself it's healthy for the baby. Plus, I lost a bunch in the beginning due to m/s.
For those of you around 23 weeks how much have you gained total. For me I guess it's about 11-12
