sudden weight gain

[tina426]

I was overweight to begin with, so I've been cautious about diet, exercise, and to not gain too much weight -started at 5'6", 208lbs. Had morning sickness/general distaste for food until about week 15 abs went down to 200. From 15-19, i gained 1lb back...and now in the past 2 weeks I've put on 5.5lbs!

My diet really hasn't changed much, i keep a nutrition journal...there was one day in there i can acknowledge i was not conscientious (to many treats at work -donut, pizza, and didn't scale back dinner at all because I'd forgotten by then! ).

I know this can be a sign of high blood pressure, but mine has been exceptionally low, at my appointment last week it was only 100/55...

Anyone else having this? (I have also gotten notably bigger, my dh was on travel for work from Sunday-tonight and was amazed).

Hi there! I'm in md too I haven't experienced this in any of my pregnancies however I am heavier too and tend to lose weight and gain little to any back, I'm almost 25 weeks and have lost about 16 lbs and have yet to gain any back yet but I know that you can also experience growth spurts as the baby has growth spurts. I'd just continue to try to be cautious about what you're eating, try your best to avoid sugars and too many carbs but don't beat yourself up for indulging now and then

I am not over weight but I this is my fourth successful pregnancy and that is the way i tend to gain and I do gain a lot of weight during pregnancy.. Im trying so hard to watch out and not eat too much junk but i still gained 3 lbs this week alone!!! check out this website I found last night it shows you the weight of everything baby related every ten weeks of pregnancy..it has two charts one in Kg and one in Lbs might make you feel better.
