Maintain for me this week, which is unusual, but I haven't been as hungry this week.

Amanda you're doing great! I'm sure it is water. Plus you will probably wind up losing 1-2 lbs in the last week or 2.

Kelly, heather- great work!

Jayla's mom- have fun on vacation!

Great work Heather!

Amanda I'm sure it is water too! Don't worry you only have two weeks left. So close!!

Nice job too Kelly This week I am more hungry again especially craving ice cream. I just gave my body a huge helping of bok choi and a small ice cream lol..

Ben & Jerry have been my good friends these last few weeks too!

You ladies are really doing amazing during pregnancy! I have had a huge gain two within the last three weeks (2 pounds a week) and it is really starting to freak me out! I'm trying not to stress over how much weight I am gaining but it sucks when the number on the scale keeps rising and I hate to hear what my midwife will say...

Thank you ladies! Thankfully my doctor(s) say nothing about the weight gain! I'm guessing I'm so close they figure... Mehhhhhh :flowerforyou:

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.

I'll be 30 weeks Monday, gained 14 so far.

Time for my update I'm 5'6" and my starting weight was 125lb (wow that seems a long time ago! I wish I could run again and do my workout like back then!!)

6 weeks left.. today is my baby shower so I'm super excited! I feel a bit afraid even though this is my fourth baby.. yesterday I got some really hard stabs like an all over contraction for about a minute but it went away. Never had that before.. just real labor with all my other births so that freaked me out. Also my car wouldn't start so I panicked a bit because what if that happens when I'm in labor? lol... AND my baby is still heads up!

I am kind of getting tired of seeing the numbers on the scale go up.. I know it's normal and the weight I've gained is in a good range but I still hate it. It took such hard work to get to my starting weight/fitness level and I keep thinking I won't be there again for such a long time. ugh. Sorry for the rant! At least I think in the next six weeks I shouldn't go up more then 1lb a week and that would bring me to 24lb gained. At least I hope so

@igottaworkout : you are doing great. A lot of women would LOVE to have only gained 18lb at 34 weeks (including me!) you are so close to the end and your fitness will be back in no time!! Have fun at your shower today and don't worry about practice contractions - your uterus is gearing up for its big work out! And you can always call a cab if your car breaks down, LOL!

Thank you so much Heather. I am grateful not to have gained more.. I guess it's just that it's hard to be used to the mindset of gaining, but you know that too I keep trying to remember that a lot of this weight is baby, placenta, fluid etc but I hate not being able to see my toes or run at all haha..

Good idea about the cab.. but the hospital is like an hour away, I think I might call an ambulance haha just in case.
