No weight gain again this week! Yay! I haven't done anything different so not sure how that happened again. I guess my baby has just slowed down a little bit on her growth spurts for awhile. According to the ultrasound, she already weighs 4 pounds!!!

Here is my last check in, 1 week post partum.

Height: 5'6", starting weight 125lb, eating at maintenance for whatever weight I was at during the pregnancy (I adjusted my weight in mfp to get a new calorie goal, it went from 1500-1700 over the course of my pregnancy)

16 weeks pregnant: 1lb gained
18 weeks pregnant: 2lb gained
19 weeks pregnant 2.5lb gained
20 weeks pregnant 3.5lb gained
21 weeks pregnant 5lb gained
22 weeks pregnant 7lb gained

24 weeks pregnant 9 lb gained
25 weeks pregnant 10 lb gained
26 weeks pregnant 12 lb gained
27 weeks pregnant 13 lb gained
28 weeks pregnant 14 lb gained
29 weeks pregnant 15 lb gained
30 weeks pregnant 15.5 lb gained
31 weeks pregnant 16 lb gained
32 weeks pregnant 16.5lb gained
33 weeks pregnant 17 lb gained
34 weeks pregnant 18 lb gained
35 weeks pregnant 17 lb gained
36 weeks pregnant 18 lb gained
37 weeks pregnant 19 lb gained
38 weeks pregnant 20 lb gained
39 weeks pregnant 21 lb gained
40 weeks pregnant 7 lb gained (had my 9lb baby yay!)
1 week postpartum 1lb gained (back at 126lb) wohoo!

I think eating at maintenance really did work, it maintained my original weight! Breastfeeding is going really well and my baby was at 9lb1oz (1oz gained) at 5 days old which the midwife said is awesome as she expected him to weigh a bit less. (this proves to me that I didn't have to gain 7lb extra of maternal fat to support breastfeeding like the 'experts' say..) This has been my best pregnancy ever and if I could go back in time I would tell myself not to eat for two, but just to maintain my weight, that is all that is needed while pregnant I would have saved myself 15 years of having mommy fat that was super hard to get rid of..

My plan going forward while breastfeeding is to monitor my weight, not to loose more until the baby is weaned as I don't want to loose more currently, and I'm going to do the 30 day shred when I have my strength back, and then maybe start some heavy lifting to tone up. I'm so happy to have a wonderful healthy baby and my body will soon be back to be able to exercise too!

While on a walk yesterday I felt like I could just start running forever because I felt so much more balanced and lighter, but at only 1 week postpartum I guess I shouldn't so I didn't.. but I really wanted to lol! My bleeding is almost stopped, I'm just using a liner now and since I didn't rip during birth I'm feeling almost back to normal, just my back is still sore. I'm planning on seeing a chiropractor next week to see if my back is ok, that is the only thing different currently from when I started. I wish all you ladies the best of luck with the pregnancy and weight gain, don't stress so much over it because I stressed and it wasn't even necessary
