    When I went to the doctor Monday, it was the first time I didn't gain any weight :) Haha...I'm up 14lbs according to their scales, and 18 at home (I count my gain from the day I got my BFP, whereas the doctor counts it from my first appt at 7 weeks). I'm 17 weeks, by the way!

    I'm up 21 lbs at 29 1/2 weeks- happy because I don't think I will gain the 40 I gained last pregnancy:):)

    I wonder if the reason my OB/GYN hasn't commented on my weight (yet!) is because I started seeing her at 14 weeks, when I was already up 8lbs? I saw my GP for initial bloodwork at 5 weeks and was up 1lb at that point. Not sure which starting weight my current doc is using.

    So I was really good the last 2 days, ate under calories, lots of water, and lower sodium, and my weight was the highest this morning it's ever been!! It makes me feel like why bother trying? Oh well I guess, it's out of my control, as long as my baby is healthy, I will just have a lot of work ahead of me :)

    I wonder if my dr will count my weight from my first appt? I was 17weeks first time I met her (she was on vacation for a month, ugh) anywhoo, weight is slowing down.

    15wk- +9.2
    16wk +9.5
    17wk +9.9
    18wk +10.9

    i was a little less in lbs yesterday, but i think i am holding in some water from this heatwave we've got going on. i am kinda swollen

    fantastic!! I am shooting for the same range at 30wks, to be between 20-25gain and then for my 40wk range to be under 35gain. I gained almost 50with my DD and she was 6lbs13oz, soooo I know not all the weight goes to baby. LOL. I was only 15lbs lighter after I lost all the fluids and such, the rest was for me to lose on my own. ugh. SOOO I gained pure fat with her, which i am avoiding now, I am eating 100% healthier and whole foods. WIth her I ate a crap load of fast foods and frozen meals and ramen noodles. LOL No wonder my poor baby wasn't any bigger. she wasn't getting the necessary nutrition.

    Me, too! Except for the sodium part - I had frozen pizza last night, so I'm hoping that is part of the reason my scale was up 1.5 lbs this morning (even after getting up for 3 good pees last night!) This morning I weighed 1/2 lb over my highest pre-pregnancy weight. I knew it was going to happen, just thought it would be a few more weeks down the road! :ohwell:

    I have had a similar slowdown in my weight gain. I initally gained nothing, then around 8 weeks seemed to have suddenly gained 3kg, but weighed myself yesterday at 11 weeks and had only gained another 0.5kg in the past 3 weeks.

    My weight gain is somewhat similar. Except the weight fluctuates more than that. By 10 weeks I had gained 11 pounds...and now I lost 2 of those pounds at 15 weeks for a total gain of 9 pounds. It was most likely water weight that I lost...

    I went to the doctor yesterday, Thursday, btw my mom that was visiting from Mexico was able to come with me :) .. that made me really happy to know that she was part of at least one appointmen and she was able to hear my little girl's heartbeat :D
    At 22 weeks and 3 days I'm up 11.5 lbs according to their scales, and 14 at home (I count my gain from the day I got my BFP, whereas the doctor counts it from my first appt at 7 weeks) :happy:
    I got back from Hawaii last week and was up 4 lbs since my last appointment .. besides with my mom being here for 10 days all that homemade mexican food made me not really watch what I was eating ... both "vacations" were super fun and don't regreat anything at all !!!!! :laugh:

    you're doing great! I hope to follow your steps. lol. I also count from when I got my BFP and I am currently up 12-13 lbs at 19wks. I gained a lot this week from alot of heavy foods and eating out almost the whole week. But now I am back to homecooked meals so it should go back down. :)) According to dr scale I have a 10.5lb gain. I have 2.5wks left until my next appt and I hope to just have a 4lb gain like you :) buuuuut I doubt it will happen. LOL

    After initially shooting up like CRAZY in the first trimester, my weight gain has stabilized the last few weeks...the only thing I've done differently is I switched to a low acid diet (I have interstitial cystitis and low acid diet helps control it). I hope this trend continues for awhile so I can get back on a healthier rate of weight gain...but, it's just bizarre to me!

    Pretty surprised I haven't gained more. 20 weeks and I'm up around 6-7lbs... Considering my doctor told me I'm not allowed to workout anymore I was panicking that I'd gain like crazy. But i've been maintaining same weight for a few weeks. I do miss working out :( can't wait to start again.

    I wasn't keeping track of my pre-pg weight because I was only 3months post-partum when I found out I was PG again and hadn't lost all that I gained last time around. So, I'm going by my weigh-in at my 1st doc appt.

    6wks 3 days: 0
    10wks 6 days: -1
    15wks 6 days: +6
    20wks: +7
    25wks 1 day: +15 (huge jump also found out I had GD that week)
    29wks: (loss 5lbs) +10
    30wks 6 days: +11

    Total gained so far at 31wks is: 11lbs

    Finding out I had Gestational Diabetes at 25wks really helped me to start eating healthier and control the weight gain. I hope to continue to gain about 1/2 to 1lb a week until the baby is born. Keeping me within the 20lbs category for being overweight to begin with. My last 2 PG i gained 35-40lbs.

    I'm up 30lbs at 34 weeks. I haven't gained anything for the last three weeks - I'm at a plateau - yay!

    My weight gain has totally slowed down for the third trimester. Still following a strict GD diet and exercising 4-5 days per week.
