"Hello ladies,
I am on the home-stretch at 36 weeks. Agree with all that weight gain is not linear. Have spurts that are better and worse. With both this pregnancy, and my last, I packed on the most weight during month 5 (6-7 lbs) because I was so darn hungry. I am starting to slow things down now. I also realize how close I am to having to LOSE that extra weight. So today I had my last donut of the pregnancy (running total: 5. Number in the last 3 years: those same 5!). I also have decided to part ways with ice cream (had two great pints over the last month). My total weight gain is 23lbs, and am really trying to stick to 25lbs total, but it's going to be close! Highly depends on when D-day actually comes!
Am thinking if there are any other fattening foods I want to have between now and then, because after D-day, I'm going off sweets. What about you???"
I am right here with you. Actually 36 weeks today. I had stayed pretty close to my goal until ab 3 weeks ago and something snapped. I went off the deep end and now I am up 30 pounds and still have a month to go. (30 or less was my goal). So I have had to write off sweets. Started Tuesday. I am already struggling. But like you said- knowing I am so close to having to start losing it- is motivating. I have stayed off the scale bc it is so depressing. I will prob weigh friday just to see.0 -

That is pretty fantastic! I would be thrilled if I had only gained 13 pounds at that point and only really had a belly. I envy those women who don't even look pregnant until you see their bellies!0 -

Seriously! I'm jealous Cmaxmor! I've gained 23 pounds at 29 weeks. So I am definitely going over the goal of only gaining 20-25 pounds. I'm hoping now to keep it more at 30-35. And, holy crap, do I feel every single one of those pounds I gained. My back hates me. I feel like such an old lady.0 -

sooooo I am 25.5wks and gained 20lbs! I got "the talk" from my OB today. I told her I don't know what else I can do. SHe just mentioned that some women just gain no matter what but just look closely at my diet. Make sure to eat just whole grains, less starchy stuff and more greens. No more cookies. LOOL Did some healthy shopping today, I will try to do the best I can. Geesh, I do better with weight gain while on vacation than when at home. LOL. On vacation I was able to lose/maintain my weight and at home I always seem to average 2lbs a week gain. grrr0

40 weeks - 42 pounds - and I'm pretty much all baby bump.
Gained despite following GD diet (NO sugar or treats!) and exercising my whole pregnancy.
Whatever, I'm tall, I'm not worried about it.0 -
I've gained 45lbs at 34 weeks, I am pleased that it was only 0.8lbs from last week! I am hoping it is slowing, but i"ve been really hungry lately, so maybe most of it is going to baby! I'm hoping I can keep it under 210, I currently weigh 201!0

I think you're doing great, some people just do gain more. I'm sure cutting back on sweets will help, but personally I love my sweets and am not willing to sacrifice them completely!! I averaged 2lbs per week for the majority of the 2nd and 3rd trimesters thus far.0 -

I am having a hard time cutting back on sweets too. LOL... But I have readjusted my diet with more whole foods and it seems to help with making me feel full longer and they are less in calories too. At the end of the day I have fewer calories eaten than before but I know its because of the changes I am making and I am not hungry to eat more. I have also started paying more attention to my carbs and other macros. I try to stay "green" for the most part. We shall see how it helps. The last 2 days the scale moved up yet again 2lbs, but I weighed tonight and it seems promising for tomorrow. LOL.
I gained close to 50lbs with my previous pregnancy and I am not as tall as you, so you are doing better than me!) I am 5'5 and at 40wks I weighed 195lbs! 0 -
I'm 13 weeks 4 days pregnant and I've gained 7.8 lbs so far. This is my second pregnancy. I gained 28 bs with my first pregnancy. I am hoping to stay healthy and not gain too much as to stay healthy.0

I am def going off sweets once I have my son. I'm going to work out and take him with me. I am determined to get back to my pre pregnancy wieght and clothes.0 -
I'm 25 weeks 3 days and I'm up 21 lbs. Not happy with that as I'm just under 5" tall, but what do ya do. I still exercise 5 days a week and treat myself whenever I want as now is the time to because afterwards it's back to the grindstone baby!!!! 0

Had my 23 week appt today and per the nurse I've only gained 8 pounds this pregnancy. But I'm still going to hold to my 12 lb gain based on my MFP weight from week 1, not my dr's office weigh in during week 8.0

nice job! still a great weigh in. According to my Dr office I gained 12lbs, (I didn't start seeing them until I was 17wks!! lol) but according to my scale since the beginning of my pregnancy, I have a gain of 20lbs at 26weeks.
Weight gain is finally slowing down. I haven't gained anything for 2.5weeks which for me is shocking cause I averaged 1-2lbs a week! I have changed up my eating. I started eating more whole grains,whole wheats, veggies, fruits. I still have sweets, still trying to cut it out but its proving to be hard. lol. I also re-started doing DVDs with light weights. So far so good!! My boy must be loving the changes cause he is super active!! Constantly kicking me under the ribs, ouch.0 -
At 8 weeks pregnant I was +6lbs
at 10 weeks pregnant I was +11lbs
at 11 weeks pregnant I was +10 lbs
At 12 weeks +8lbs
At 13 weeks +10lbs
At 14 weeks + 12 lbs
At 15 weeks + 9lbs
At 16 weeks + 10.5 lbs

19 weeks + 14.5 lbs
20 weeks + 20 lbs
21 weeks + 17 lbs
22 weeks + 18.5 lbs
23 weeks + 17 lbs
Does this mean that I haven't really gained any weight in the past 3 weeks? Not sure what it really means..my weight fluctuates so much... I get sooo much bloat one day and then 3 days later, I lose 5 lbs of "water weight".0 -
Hi All: I am 20w1d and am up about 10 lbs. I am 5 ft tall. I feel like my weight gain has been all over the place, I would gain a couple here or there, and then not gain at all for weeks at a time, and even lose on occasion. The last 3 lbs have been in the last couple of weeks. All of a sudden, I am so hungry and I never feel full. I am hoping that I can stay in the recommended 20 -25 lbs range. I feel like I eat fairly healthy with some treats. I admit I haven't been as active as I would like. I don't exercise every day, but at least 4 days a week. I take a dance class still for 90 min each week, and I try to get on the elliptical machine at home at least 3 days a week for 30 minutes. Definitely not pushing myself, although there are days that I really want to, like I really want ti go running, but between the first trimester fatigue and the crazy humidity this summer, I got off track and am nervous to start back up until afterwards.0

So I have always heard the "myth" & fairytale about those women who don't gain or hardly gain in the very end, but just couldn't believe it. I believe it now!!
I've probably only gained about 1 lb in the past 3 weeks or so. I had been averaging about 1 lb per wk gain the entire time, even from the 1st trimester. I am now up 32 lbs at 38 wks and very happy about that. My goal was to not go over 35 lbs (started out at a normal weight/bmi). With my 1st pregnancy I gained 45 lbs and was still gaining 1-2 lbs per wk in the end. Amazing how different pregnancies are. Also last time I had so much freaking water weight in the end that I couldn't wear my rings or hardly any shoes, not even flip flops. I've had zero swelling this time and am still in shock. I'm just so happy I had to share and give others hope that gain a lot in the beginning. 0 -

Thats awesome!!!! Good for you!! I'm keeping my figures crossed for a weight gain between 25-30lbs. So far it seems I've been doing pretty good. 28 weeks on Monday and I've gained 17lbs.. Hopefully I can keep in the range even with all the holidays coming up. They'll be a lot of celebration and eating involved. lol0 -

Thanks for that, it gives me some hope. I've already gained a LOT and it's very hard to watch, given I've always been normal weight. I hope it slows down soon but I'm only 23.5 weeks

@mellynat
Your weight gain pattern and goal sounds similar to mine. You can do it. I started pilling on the weight around 33 weeks though. ( Most of that being my own poor choices.)
At this point I am 37 weeks and I have gained 31.5lbs. I didnt gain from last week and I am hoping to maintain until delivery.0 -

Congrats, kerrBear!
As of Wednesday (at 37.5 weeks) I was up 28 ish...today (at almost 38 weeks), I was up 30. Hoping to not gain any more since 30 was my goal. I worked out 4 days this week, but it's getting really hard for me to have any willpower when it comes to my diet. Ah well....2 more weeks, 2 more weeks:)0
