    Height 171cm (5'7.5")
    39 weeks today and seems to be maintaining rather than gaining - I simply haven't been as hungry. Apparently this is quite common in the last few weeks.

    4weeks: 67.1kg
    13weeks: 66.6kg
    19weeks: 68.0kg

    25weeks: 71.2kg
    31weeks: 73.4kg
    34weeks: 74.2kg
    37weeks: 75.3kg
    39weeks: 75.1kg (165.5lbs)


    Measurement at belly button
    19weeks: 91cm
    23weeks: 92cm
    25weeks: 95cm
    31weeks: 99cm
    34weeks: 102cm
    37weeks: 103cm
    39weeks: 103cm (40.5")

    ONLY ONE WEEK LEFT!!!

    You're doing just fine - no cause for panic! I'd says yours is a very healthy weight gain. Well done.

    Wow, where is everyone with their updates? Feeling a bit self-conscious that this topic is filled with me. Anyway

    Three weeks left (hopefully). I had secretly hoped to end at 165 out of vanity but that's out the window now. I'm going back and forth between caring about my weight and trying to log and be responsible, and just saying F it and enjoying the last 3 weeks. I just really don't want to be above 170 since that was when I started looking/feeling fat with my first pregnancy. That would be 30 pounds so it's not a bad number to end at.

    Currently 9 days postpartum and down to 143.5 from 160 for a total of 16.5 lbs lost. So a little over half way :) I've been breastfeeding and not logging but have noticed that my appetite is closer to what it was pre-pregnancy and have been trying to keep the indulgences under control. My belly is still tender from the c-section and I haven't really been exercising at all - that's next week's challenge!

    Take it easy! Exercising too soon will do more harm than good - my OB didn't even want me to drive or do light housework. (And while OBs can be overly cautious, they're also the ones most familiar with exactly what was stitched up inside of you and how.)

    164lbs the day I went into labour.
    Had the baby January 20 at 42.5weeks gestation.
    Currently 135lbs - with 4lbs of that being giant milk filled boobies. ;-)

  • 33 weeks today and weigh 137.8 :( which means I gained 2.4 pounds since last week and I haven't been porking out either. I was okay with 1-1 1/2 pound gain a week but this is way too much. I though it would slow down a bit as I got closer but it seems to be picking up for me. Starting weight 115 @ 5'4 do I've gained nearly 23 pounds already

    Our start points are similar 115 lbs @ 5' 4.75". I'm up 27 lbs at 34 w 6 d. I've started to speed up on my gain as well.

    It's ok, you're going to gain weight while pregnant. This is the time where you gain a bit more. I've gained almost 35lbs (32 weeks)... I don't like it, but I know the majority (hopeful that all) will come off, but if it doesn't, I can lose it again. I've been good about my food and exercising also. You haven't gained much weight and as long as your Dr is ok w/ it, don't stress :smile:

    I can relate. I put on 10 more pounds with my third baby than I did with my first two pregnancies, putting me over 160lbs!!!!! (My prepregnancy weight hovers around 110lbs give or take.) It's really difficult to watch those number creep up, but just remember that baby needs it, and so will your body after you have baby. Not only does pregnancy take a lot out of you, but remember that once you have that baby, breastfeeding will literally MELT the weight off of you. If you're going to survive those first couple months, you NEED extra weight. This is the mantra I constantly had to remind myself of as the scale continually showed a higher number. It's hard to wonder what you're doing wrong or wonder why your body is hanging on to "more" than others. Rest assured, it will all fall off within the first two months after you've had the baby!!!

    BTW- 23lbs at 33 weeks is NOTHING!!!! You're doing really, really well. It's not nearly as much weight as you think it is.

    Baby Zara is here and now nine days old. She weighed 3.3kg and I left the hospital six kilo lighter than I entered. The weight continues to drop off and my tummy is deflating nicely. Still one kilo to go to hit my starting weight but I'm very pleased with progress.

    Maintained this week which I'm glad of. I was not liking that 3 pound gain last week but now it looks like 3 pounds over 2 weeks which is A-OK. I can't believe I'm 14 days away from my due date. I will definitely be holding my little girl in 4 weeks time and I'm getting very excited!

    Congratulations on the new baby and amazing gain/loss! I've only gained 25 pounds and couldn't dream of dropping most of it in 10 days, that's phenomenal! Although with my first I had so much IV fluid from pitocin and an epidural so it took me a few days just to get rid of that weight.

    Seems to be a little bit of a growth spurt going on last minute here:

    Proud to have only gained 28 pounds this pregnancy! However I'm still pregnant and still gaining. If I don't track my food I gain 2-3 pounds a week and if I do track I gain .5-1 pound a week. So I need to track but I guess increase my calories a bit so I don't go crazy.

    Best of luck to all you ladies, hopefully I don't have to do this again next week!

    He came yesterday, my water had been broken for a while and then contractions started... It was annoying because things slowed down after I was admitted. I would have preferred to do more laboring at home, but We probably wouldn't have made it to the hospital in time. My husband is really pushing for hb next time, maybe we will have better ins....

    Delivered 2/21 at 40 weeks 2 days

    Height: 5'7"
    starting: 140.8 lbs
    ending: 169 lbs (gained 28.2 pounds)
    1 week postpartum: 158 lbs (lost 11)

    So I have 17.2 more pounds to go. With my first I gained 36 pounds and lost 25.5 of them in the first week so I'm a little disappointed I didn't lose more this week with how little I gained and how much I've been breastfeeding, but o well. I wasn't swollen at all this pregnancy and now my ankles and feet look like plump sausages, hella annoying. Good luck to everyone, I hope you all have a great delivery and swift recovery!
