How much weight have you gained so far??

[LilianA]

I'm scared of this issue because i tend to gain a lot during pregnancy and it doesn't matter how good i eat as soon as i mess up once I'm up a couple lbs the next day and its stuck ..
I haven't gained much so far because of ms . Im up 3lbs how about all of you?

I was up 5lbs at 23 week check-up. Thought it was only 3 based on my scale at home, but you always seem to weight more at the doctors. Still very happy though. I had gained twice as much at this stage in my first pregnancy. Once I start putting it on though, it tends to come on fast so still trying to be careful. I honestly think it just depends on the pregnancy.

I weighed myself this morning and i am up 7 lbs at 16 + 4. I am feeling very stressed out about this, I did not start out overweight, but I was still about 10 lbs heavier than I am comfortable with (a result of switching from a very active job to a desk job, and a month long vacation in Mexico). My hubby keeps telling me its all in my boobs and belly, but I just feel like a whale.

That is great!! I gained 80 with my first!! 50 with my second and 35 with my 3rd. and like you said all the sudden it seems to pile on uncontrollably!! and it took sooo much work to get rid of it all and it seemed to get harder each time so I would love to keep it to down to 20-25 lb this time.

I wish I could say the same about my boobs lol I also started out 10 lbs heavier than I would like, even though my bmi was normal but i tend to have the weight go to my lower half

At 17 weeks I had gained 10lbs. With my first I gained A LOT first trimester I think because I was under weight before I got preg. so my body needed the weight. Than my weight gained normalized I gained 35lbs total. This time around I'm remaining more active. Trying to get at least 30 mins of activity a day even if its just walking. Would be nice to only gain 25lbs but I'm thinking 30lbs is more realistic for me.

Anyways ladies try and not worry about the number on the scale. As long as you are being healthy. Eating well (most of the time) and staying active try and not worry about it so much. I know easier said than done!

None yet. I've lost 2lbs. I'm 17 weeks on Sunday

I weighed myself a couple of weeks ago and was up 12.5lb!!!
Since then my diet has been half and half.
I was on strict diet before so maybe my body is gaining a bit quick due to that. Loving the extra carbs
I'm desperate to gain control and just eat clean but it's hard and I'm struggling which is making me feel down and guilty.

 

[brokenoven]

Don't want to talk about it lol

 

[littlesteph]

i'm still down 3lbs and i'm 19 weeks on sunday. I did lose around 7lbs at the start though.

I'm 24w and gained 10lb. I was at the top end of a healthy weight pre pregnancy and according to the online calculators I have gained less than the recommended amount for my gestation and bmi. I'm eating normally and definitely have a bump! I think you ladies are maybe putting too much pressure on yourselves. Right now the focus is on growing a healthy baby, so go easy on yourselves!

 

[Khadijah-x]

According to my height / weight etc I've gained just about what I should have for this stage in my pregnancy 26 weeks, around 18lb. If I go as the books say 1lb a week from now, I'll have gained about 30lb which I should gain around 25-35lb so I'm happy with that. I'm just going with what my body tells me to, if I want to eat ill eat so follow your instincts and do what your body tells you to do xx

I am going to be 14 weeks tomorrow, so it is still pretty early for me. But yesterday at my appointment, I learned I have lost about 2 pounds. Which is pretty good. with DD I had already gained like 10 pounds at this point.

 

[LilianA]

Thanks for sharing ladies

 

[charliekay]

Even though I look a lot bigger I've only gain 2lb and I'm 17 weeks x

 

[mybbyboo]

I'm 14 weeks and haven't gained anything. But I'm starting heavier this time then the last two times. My first I gained 60 my second 45.

 

[goneawry]

Just weighed myself and I'm up around 4kg, which is between 8-9lbs. Pretty happy with that. Last pregnancy I was too scared to weigh myself, lol, but in hindsight I wish I had. I don't actually think I gained that much and now wish I'd known what I was just before I delivered. Anyway, according to online calculators I am at the low end of the scale (just under actually) of what I should have gained at this point - yay! I was surprised as I definitely have a bump!!

I know what you mean!! Even though i only gained around3 sometimes 2 i feel a lot bigger in the mid section.. I even had someone comment that i am starting to pack on the weight😟

I've gone from 8 and half stone to 9 stone 2 at 25 weeks. This is less than I should gain according to online calculators but I'm trying not to worry about it. I have a semi healthy diet with occasional treats same as before pregnancy and have been doing some exercise up to this week when I have started fainting.

when I was about 17/18 weeks I gained about 3lb overall but I'm 23 weeks now and haven't weighed myself since, I got doctors next week so not looking forward to it as I been eating really bad haha
