You all are seriously amazing! I've gained more at 22 weeks than most of you in your last trimester!
Rosy003- good luck!!! This is my third too and I fully expect to go to 40 weeks, my second came at 40w1d but she came in 2.5 hours....I'm scared this one will be even faster!0 -
@igottaworkout - Thank you. I'm working hard at it!
@Andrea3030 - My third child came really fast. I only made it to the delivery suite 20 minutes before he arrived. Probably 3 to 4 hours of proper labour. However, my fourth child was about 5 hours of labour again - from first contraction to delivery. I was worried that the more kids I had the quicker they would come and rushed to the hospital that time, but that wasn't the case thank goodness!0 -
@rosy I wish you good luck too! Wow 40 weeks, you can pop any second now
How exciting!! It would be great if you could do a post baby weigh-in post, I'm interested what other people loose with birth. Last birth I lost 17lb but I had a huge 9'6" baby so I don't know what to expect, this one is definitely smaller as he keeps flipping all around in there and the last one was 'stuck' in the same position for the last few months 0 -

Thank you that makes me feel better! I know it sounds silly but I'm a huge wimp and I'm scared of not getting an epidural lol.
Igottaworkout- I gain a ton of weight, 50 with my first and 40 with my second...with both I lost 20 lbs giving birth and in the week or so after. My babies not large, only 5'14 and 7 even. Then the next twenty takes about 8-12 months to come off, I breastfeed but I think it makes me retain weight instead of the opposite.0 -
I know what you mean Andrea, I actually usually gain more weight when breastfeeding and it's really hard to get it off while I am still feeding. I hope it won't take too long though 0

week 13: +.6 lbs0

well ladies - super bummed out. I'm 38 weeks and have gained 35 pounds, 3 of those in one week and I don't even know how that happens - hoping it's just extra blood/baby/fluid. I know it doesn't matter as long as baby is healthy and it isn't a huge amount but before getting pregnant I had lost 42 pounds (172 down to 130) and I am feeling so bummed out that I have to do that all over again. I really hope that a lot of the weight just drops off when breastfeeding and then I've only got 20 or so pounds to work on with toning and stuff.. but just annoyed at myself that I let this happen (and I'm not really sure how it happened!). I'm all belly, so at least there's that. But super proud of all of you!0

Vettle- don't be bummed! Just the fact that you kept track of your gain during pregnancy puts you in a MUCH better position to lose it after baby arrives! And you will instantly lose some of that weight when you deliver! You've gained blood and fluid and a human in there. 0

well, it is a little weird to be maintaining for three weeks in a row. it kind of makes sense since I had that big gain week 32. I will probably just run it by my midwife though, just for peace of mind. I am pretty sure she will say it is no big deal - she is pretty low key about weight gain in general. headed on a road trip today to visit my mom - last trip before baby!0 -

Nice and steady, with another pound gained. Heading into the last month with zero energy. Just need to get through my massive to do list and then baby is welcome to come. 0 -
Jeez...after reading all of your wonderful weight gain numbers I am feeling pretty crappy. I am 12 weeks tomorrow and I have already gained 5 lbs! Plus, I was overweight to start with so my goal was to gain only 15 pounds. I think I have gained so much because I have been so sick and eating crappy processed food (or even fast food, gasp!) has been the only thing that makes me feel better. Luckily, my all day sickness has started to ease up so I will be passing on the pop tarts and getting my butt off the couch for some exercise!0

Don't feel bad - you are not the only one! I too have felt awful and eaten really badly as it was the only thing that helped me... At week 14 I had gained 14lb! I'm not at week 16 and it seems to have settled, in fact last weigh in my weight gain was at 13lb so I'm hoping I'll even out for a bit before putting any more on!
Last pregnancy I only put 25lb on in total and was over weight to start (I was just in the normal range when I became pregnant) and I didn't watch what I ate at all!0 -
Both of you aren't alone! I like to come to this thread to torture (ER...motivate:)) myself. I am 22 weeks and already up 17 lbs...I started off BMI 25 so I only wanted to gain 20....pretty sure that isn't going to happen. Truthfully at this point I will be happy to keep it at 40 like I did with my second.0

I did increase my cals by 200 a day and I've gone over some days but 2lbs a week seems so high...ugh. The thing is, I'm starving all the time right now - just absolutely starving - so I'm thinking baby just needs me to gain weight right now, but 7lbs in a month and 6lbs in 3 weeks is mucking with me. I hate that it bothers me so much, but it really does.

Recent attempts to increase my fiber intake (and thus decrease constipation) may be working too well...0 -
I'm 28 weeks now and up 10 lbs. I have been holding steady at 10 for the past month. I had my check up yesterday and my midwife didn't say a word about the lack of wt gain so I'm just going to keep going with my current eating plan. My belly seems to be growing by leaps and bounds these days!!!0
