Finally got around to priming the nursery last night and tonight I can start painting! It feels like the due date is coming up fast but then I realize I really still have 2 months left. My sweet tooth is still obnoxious but I am trying to find alternatives like homemade frozen yogurt sandwiches, cold tea and frozen ice pops. I am okay with my weight gain thus far but am definitely not trying to gain toooo much more. Still 9 weeks to go!0 -
What does it have you at for that weight loss? I am just curious
Around 1500 calories. I eat somewhere between 15-1800 depending on the day. Which probably isn't enough according to most people when you're pregnant. My OB told me to aim for 1800. But I seriously have like, no metabolism because I don't exercise. :blushing: And I don't go hungry at all. My last pregnancy, I tried to eat the recommended calories, etc... and ate whatever. I gained at least 50 lbs. Also, I don't really measure and weigh my food, so I'm sure my serving sizes are probably a little bigger than what I'm logging, so I assume that I'm getting at least 100-200 more calories than is showing up in my log.
This pregnancy, I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm satisfied (not stuffed). I eat a little more often, but not as much at a time. (which is probably why I am not getting heartburn as bad as with my first...) And I'm eating as healthy and clean as possible, although I do occasionally give in to my sweet tooth and eat some ice cream or a cookie, etc... and every once in awhile, pizza. lol
It might not be the "correct" approach to eating when pregnant, but it's working for me.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
I got the idea from a board on MFP for pregnant ladies, it may have even been this one, that setting the MFP goal to a .5lbs/week LOSS was actually a good way to stay on track, at least in the first tri, with eating enough to stay satisfied without gaining a million pounds in the first 12 weeks. So far I think it's been working out to a good number, it gives me between 1600 and 1700 cals per day, which lets me basically eat to my heart's content, and I've basically been maintaining my weight so far. Once the morning sickness goes away though, I'll probably start wanting more than that.0 -
I am 32 weeks pregnant. I appreciate you all answering my nosey questions 0
-
In your first trimester which lasts until week 14 you don't really need to add any calories to your daily intake. I read a ton of sites to make sure of this because I didn't want to cause a problem either way. I stuck to a 1lb LOSS until week 14 which kept me at 1470. Before I was pregnant I was at a 2lb loss which put me around 1200. After that I went to .5lb loss which put me at 1720. So far I'm 18 weeks and up a total of 3 pounds which I am very happy with. With my first I gained almost 60lbs so slow and steady is the way I'm playing it now. I walk a lot and do yoga at least twice a week. I feel strong and healthy. When I get to my 3rd trimester I will move my calories to a maintenance calorie gain. I was not under or over weight so I followed the guide lines for my weight and height. Everyone is different and doing your own research is a great idea. Gaining a lot of weight during pregnancy isn't good for either of you but so is not gaining enough.0
-
Very good information @justinskitty. I am at maintenance right now and am into my third tri, 33 weeks, and consume between 1600-1800 calories with my maintenance saying its 1860 total. Some days I am really hungry and other's, not much.0

wow you're doing awesome. I wish I could be 135 at 31 weeks!! lol0 -
Starting weight: 113lb. 5'4 height -- currently I'm 30w/2d and weigh right at 129.5 - so an overall gain so far of about 16.5lbs. I seem to be gaining right at .5 or 1lb. a week, so I'm beating I'll gain another 9 or 10 pounds before our first baby girl is here. I've been pretty happy with the weight gain and so is my doctor. My husband's the only one who is concerned. I think he is used to seeing other pregnant woman blow up all over their body - for me my gain has mainly been in my belly. I've always had a small frame, so my gain is typical to my body type and I'm also pretty active still working out 5 days week - either elliptical or cycle class and light upper body weights (used to be an avid runner, but had to cut that out due to hip/groin/tendon pain). I just get frustrated that my husband is concerned about my weight, he's going to the doctor with me next week, so hopefully once he hears that everything is right on track from the doctor, he'll finally calm down and quit shoving milkshakes down my throat, haha.0

Up about 3.5 lb at almost 16 weeks. I started at 115 and am hoping I will max out at 30 lb in total. Been working out 5x/week and walking in the evening. Feel free to add me...0

I knew I was going to see a big jump this week... ate horribly! Lots of carbs and we ate out once or twice, had ice cream, etc... It also doesn't help that I'm a little constipated. Will have to really focus on eating clean now, or I'll slowly spiral out of control!0 -

Our total weight/weight gain is almost exactly the same. That's incredibly uncanny. Unfortunately, I'm 2 inches shorter than you and don't look nearly as good at 120 as you do. Way to go on a healthy weight gain.0 -
I'm 35weeks and have put on 12lbs. This week my eating has been horrific, total crap. Just really tired and been in a bit of a can't be bothered mood. Back to healthy eating today tho, this baby needs healthy nutritious food x0

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and up by 5lb - started at 122, now at 127. This doesn't feel too bad and I'm not restricting my eating at all. Got my second midwife appointment next week and will be asking her what is acceptable gain for me over the period - I'm only small so I'm going to have to be careful :laugh:0

I am 23 weeks along. I have gained about 14 pounds. I recently cut out sugar & fast food and began taking daily walks and I lost 6 of those pounds VERY quickly.

At least in the U.S. if you're a healthy BMI then doctors recommend 25-35 pounds It sounds like you're doing great!0 -
Looks like you'll be right around 35 pounds--which is TOTALLY healthy. Don't be too hard on yourself.0 -

You look absolutely amazing in your pics so I don't know what you are talking about! Your muscle definition is something I never had. By the way, I absolutely adore the dress you are wearing in your profile pic. Send it my way? :laugh:0 -

Done painting the nursery and I am so happy with how it turned out! Now we just need to replace the window and doors and put up the molding. Only 3 weeks until the baby shower so I hope it is done so I have somewhere to go with all of my stuff :laugh:0 -

Yay in nursery progress! So exciting. I'm hoping to be at 145 (or less) when I deliver. We are really close pregnancy wise. I'm 33w2d as of this morning (Tuesday the 17th). Of course, if I'm not I won't stress it. The dress is from forever 21 and it's actually non maternity, the boob area is definitely too small though.0 -

Had another appointment yesterday and have an updated weight again. And I remembered to weigh myself before at home so I could "calibrate" my scale and weigh myself more often.
1st pregnancy
Height: 5'6
Pre-pregnancy goal weight: 120
At home scale: reading 120 - 121 in February (unknowingly pregnant) but I don't know how much I trust that compared to those in the doctors' offices.
March 26 - 8 weeks, 2 days: appointment with primary doctor to confirm pregnancy, weight = 123.0
April 14 - 11 weeks: 1st routine OB appointment, weight = 123.8
April 19 - 11 weeks, 4 days: 1st ultrasound, weight = 121.0 (she didn't use the same digital scale this time so I don't buy this weight...)
May 19 - 16 weeks: 2nd routine appointment, weight = 124.7
June 16 - 20 weeks: 2nd ultrasound, weight = 128
I asked the doctor if my weight gain was too low and he said he didn't care because every measurement of the baby he took was right at the 50th percentile. He also mentioned that I probably wouldn't get away with it too much longer as the baby picks up speed on growing0
