how much weight have you gained

Wow - You are doing great! How are you only gaining that much
.
LOL thanks.. though mostly I don't know how I am doing it either! The best explanation I can think of is that during my 1st trimester, even though I only really vomited a handful of times, my biggest symptoms was food aversions and nausea, so I really didn't want to eat.
Once the morning sickness went away in the second trimester and food started to sound good again, I think there was a couple of things that happened: 1. I was used to eating smaller amounts because of 1st tri morning sickness and 2. I have a short torso and there is really not much room for my organs to go.. so as soon as baby started growing and my uterus was expanded I noticed that not only does my badder hold less.. but so does my stomach - getting too full is just plain painful! so that has also made it easier to stick to smaller meals.
The other thing too is the real only craving I have had with this baby is fruit! I love it and could snack on it all day:) That's not to say that I haven't had other sweets or junk food.. but if I want a snack, right now I would gladly grab an apple, grapes and now summer fruit like apricots, nectarines etc.. over chips, cookies or other sweets.
I have noticed though that now that I am approaching the third trimester I am gaining more regularly and about a pound a week... which since I am still technically in my second (and my OB says I should be only gaining half a pound per week until my third) I hope I don't over gain in the last third of my pregnancy!0 -

Officially up 30lbs at 23 weeks. Surprisingly, I feel pretty good about myself! lol Though I think this is the most I've gained this early on with any pregnancy. I think I'm stronger than previous pregnancies, though. 17-18 weeks to go and I'd love to only gain 10-15 more, but what will be, will be! I have to remind myself that the bulk of it will come off quickly and the rest will come off within the year, too. Our pool is almost open, so I'm hoping that adding in daily swimming and lots of yard work will keep me in good shape! 0 -

Just got back from the doctor yesterday. Now I'm 5/4' and now weigh 128lbs at 28w/4d. Starting weight was around 113lb., so total gain thus far during these past 28 weeks (almost 29 weeks) is right at 15lbs. Hoping to gain around 20, but still have about 11 weeks to go, so we will see. Still trying to exercise 4-5 times a week and I hope to keep that up until the end.0

Eek! Got on the scale this morning, and saw I'd gained an entire pound in the last week! I better be more careful about what I'm eating. I can't afford to gain that fast!0 -
Up another 2 lbs today. It has now been 4 weeks straight of gaining 2-3 lbs a week. Crazy! I don't eat a lot, I don't eat junk crap either. Just retaining I think.
If it's just water, it will fall right off after baby and Dr isn't worried so I am not worried.
Up 23lbs now and am almost 38 weeks.0 -

I think I have come to terms with the fact I will end up heavier than I planned at the start (wanted to be at 80kg max but there is no way I will stay under that from this point at the rate i'm going). I am still eating healthy most of the time and exercising but my body obviously wants to put on weight so I'll go with it. Baby is measuring ok so not overly worried (and neither is my midwife).0 -

The rapid gaining has begun ;-) I go on vacation this Friday for my husband's family reunion and I am terrified what the scale will say when I get back Wednesday! I am packing my gym clothes so we'll see if I can squeeze in some time to exercise.
I am 19w1d today and I am 147.1 so I am UP 3.2 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight.0 -
You are doing fine! About 1/2 way there and only 4lbs... You'll be just fine.0

You're doing great! Just drink plenty of water while you're on vacation, and plan to have a week of clean eating when you get back. 0 -

I was a little miffed that I had gained some, but then I realized that 1 or 2 lbs at 20 weeks wasn't bad at all! And really, I'm still much less than my starting weight so I really shouldn't be upset. It's just that I am only half way done, and I'm not sure if I can keep my gain to 15 lbs! With my first, I gained the bulk of my 45 lbs in the 3rd Tri.
With 20 (ish) weeks left, that leaves me to try to keep my gains to about .5 lb per week. But I know that some weeks will be a couple pounds with growth spurts.
I didn't keep track like this with my first... it was so much less stressful when I wasn't in the higher BMI category! I wish I'd lost the extra weight before getting pregnant, but se la vie. Will just do the best I can now. :flower:0 -
I'm at 12 weeks and haven't gained any weight yet. I should gain between 4 and 6 pounds in my next trimester and between 7 and 9 in my last.0

I am 32 weeks and up 7 LBS. I actually lost 3 LBS! She is not concerned since baby is right on, that's good.
whoa! just 7lbs? If your dr is not concerned then everything should be fine. What was your starting weight? I'm just 9.5 weeks along but I haven't been gaining any weight yet. I started at 128 and got down to 126 in the beginning but that lasted like 2-3 days and I went up to 130 and then dropped back down to 128. It doesn't make sense to me. LOL I feel very round and I feel like I gained 5lbs. Either both of my bathroom scales are broken or i'm losing muscle mass. I'm 5'5. By your profile pic you look amazing. Hope I will have minimum weight gain this time around as well. With my other 2 kids I gained the whole pregnancy, so this is different for me lol0 -
Aw thanks girl. I am bigger than you. I am 5ft 8in and pre-pregnancy/ first doctor's appointment (I don't weigh myself), I was 145 LBS.
I was running but had issues in the first trimester and had to quit working out and I gained the LBS that first trimester due to eating a ton of fruit and not working out. I don't normally eat a lot of fruit/carbs.
I got the green light at 13 wks to workout but did not feel right going back to running after taking off 3+ months! So, I have been walking 4 miles 3-5x/week and doing weights and cut back on the fruit as I am back in love with protein LOL.
I will say, she does want me to gain the last 8 weeks though and told me to eat back the cals I burn within an hour of working out. She loves that i eat healthy and suggested I drink a healthy protein drink like Boost, Ensure, etc.0 -
Hiya Ladies,
I am really concerned. BC I was 198 lb not really gained in 1 st trimester, now I'm 22 weeks I've totaled 8lb.
Because my BMI was 34, the most I should gained is between 15-20 throughout the pregnancy. I'm gaining on avergage 2lb a week for the past 3 weeks. I'm scared I'm going to go over.
I'm still on calorie controlled diet averaging between 1650-1900 (on a hungry day)
Having a lot of joint problems, so exercising is basic and low.
Any advice? thank you x0 -

I find that my calorie intake- while important - does not affect my gains and losses as much as the TYPES of calories I eat. So if you're like me at all... I would try eating more protein and fewer carbs and sugars. (especially together!) If you're eating a lot of breads and such, try to cut that way back. Also keep an eye on your sodium.
I average around 1600 calories a day, sometimes more sometimes less. But I do much better on the days that I eat high protein!0 -
We found out at 3 weeks... I had a uti and they did a pee test for that came back slightly positive and then blood work said yeppers. I had morning sickness until week 10. This is my 2nd pregnancy. I'm 5'6.

The last jump was thanks to a ton of factors. I went to my grandma's and spent the night. We had fried tenderloin sandwiches and pizza. Also I didn't walk or do anything for a few days and to top it off I needed some good bathroom time. I'm working on getting it back down because I'm sure it's mostly water weight gain with a few pounds of oops I ate too much junk. I will know in a few days.0 -

I haven't been weighing myself every week, but I'm pleased with how I'm doing so far. I haven't had the energy AT ALL to exercise, but I've set my MFP cals to a .5lbs/week loss, and that seems to be the right amount to keep me full and satisfied and basically maintaining my weight at this point. I'm really only up about 3-4lbs so far, and I just hit week 9 today. I do a fair amount of walking during my commute, so I think that's helping.
Once I get some energy back, I plan to add back in some exercise.
The morning sickness hasn't been as bad with this pregnancy, which is allowing me to make better food choices, rather than just, whatever sounds edible at the time. Just trying to pick the healthiest options I can every time!0 -
KatieTee - You have your MFP set at 0.5 LB loss? or gain? What made you decide to do that over maintain my weight?
This is PURE curiousity

9wks- 128.7 ??? weird
10wks-129.4
I was 128 the whole week last week but this weekend was full of take out and had some cake on sunday. Had some pizza and coke today too, whoops. Cleaning up my eating tonight. Need to eat healthy for my baby.
I'm not doing anything to watch my weight either. I'm pretty happy with my gain this pregnancy, my other 2 my weight was creeping up the whole 40wks. I had really bad food aversions and nausea in the beginning but that's gone now so I expect to see weekly gains here on out.
total gained: +1.4lbs0 -

This is PURE curiousity
I can't answer for her, but I have mine set at 2 lb loss, and I'm maintaining for the most part. I've gained about 1 lb. (I'm limited to a 15 lb gain per my OB) But I was gaining really quick at maintenance (according to MFP's settings), so I backed it down until I was maintaining. To be fair, though, I'm not exercising consistently or anything. Just a random walk here and there with my 1 year old, general housework, etc... It might be different if I were. :laugh:0 -
What does it have you at for that weight loss? I am just curious 0
