I'm up 32lbs@28 weeks! It has been a litle slower gain though the last few weeks, 1-2lbs instead of th 3-4 I had prior.

38 weeks, now up 30 pounds.... ready to get this baby out and work on losing all this weight!

30 weeks and up 22 pounds. I can't wait to start running again. With the weather turning cooler, I miss it so bad!

Wow great job! hoping to stay under 25-30 lbs u give me hope lol.
Oh i miss running too!!!! I've been dreaming about it lol. my exercise has been cut off completely for medical reasons and all I do is day dream about the day I can run again. lol

I'm still running at 31 weeks (went this morning -- very relaxing). OK, I am VERY slow. You could probably speed walk faster than I am running. I also have to alternate quarter miles with walking, because I get short-of-breath easily. Having said that, I think trying to maintain fitness is the way-to-go. With my first pregnancy, I stopped running at 7 months, and couldn't do it again until 3 months post-partum (had a C-section) and it was too many months out-of-shape.

Anyway, to answer the question: I am 31 weeks pregnant and have gained 18lbs. I'd like to gain a total of 25lbs this time (gained 30 lbs last time, but found losing the excess weight took nearly a year!). I decided to get back on MFP to try and track some healthier foods (I confess, ice cream and chocolate have appeared in my diet!). I'd appreciate any other tips on how to custom-adjust MFP settings. They really need a pregnancy function!

my goal was to keep running until 30- 35 weeks but i made it to ab 27 (and that was only running 1.5- 2 miles at a time- i would have like to maintained 3) i just lost momentum bc of time constrictions and whatever other excuse i told myself. but i am ok with it. i know i will get back into it! way to go for your continued effort and dedication keep going!
and i agree MFP does need a pregnancy nutritional setting.

29 weeks and up 34.5lbs...ugg, maybe I can keep it under 50

Yea I am hoping the same at this point. Im up 28lbs at 23 weeks. I just dont see it slowing down. If anything it has picked up in the last month! Im starting to think im going to give birth to a 20lb newborn!!!!!

Haha, let's hope he's not that big!! I know mine is 3lbs, a little on the big side, but not too account for all this weight. I go to the doctor again tomorrow, and I'll have gained about 3.5lbs since last appointment 2 weeks ago, so we will see if they say anything...I sure don't ask Any btw I think it's mean they make you weight and THEN pee, that could be like a pound! haha

39 weeks, up 30 pounds... this baby needs to hurry up and make an appearance so I can start working this stuff off!! lol

30 pounds sounds really good! I'm hoping to have that kind of result since I started out in the normal weight range Healthy for baby and me! Good luck with labor and have a great time with your new little one! I'm so excited for you!! I bet you are too!

At my doc's office, the scale is actually in the bathroom, and they have you weigh yourself privately in there. It would be so easy to fib! But I have to be accountable. I read one story about a woman who lied about her weight right up until the end...when she realized she needed to give the right amount or she was going to be screwed with the epidural. When she blurted out her real weight, everyone was kind of shocked. Lol. I had to laugh because I could so see that being me. Really forcing myself to be honest here. :-)
