Wow, I feel like a fatty...lol. 17 weeks and 1 day today & I've gained 7 pounds total. However, I am kind of surprised it isn't more. I've been really hungry for the last 3 weeks and have been eating a lot more than usual. I hope that things even out soon, because I really don't want to gain more than necessary!0

I'm up 15 pounds today (I will be 24 weeks on Thursday).....it is so frustrating that I am gaining so quickly being that I am only eating 1900-2000 calories a day (ok per my doctor). I am 5'8 and this is even slightly below maintenance for me (2140). I am retaining lots of water (pitted edema) but it still sucks! Sometimes your body is just going to do what it's going to do.0

Jumping in here.
SW 222.6
CW 232.4
I didn't want to gain this much already but with the bad MS I had, I ate lots of carbs and I completely stopped working out and counting my calories until yesterday. I can do light exercise but nothing like I was doing which is very frustrating to me going to the gym and not being able to lift.
I am 16 weeks today.
My plan from this point is to count my calories and try to workout for 5+ hours a week and whatever I gain, I gain.0 -
Hi Braggs! ill jump in here and say I had the same problem , was so sick that my paleo diet didnt do anything for me ,plus I had to eat every 45 minutes in order NOT to throw up :ohwell: also I couldnt work out . Finally when I hit about 16-18 weeks I was able to pick up regular exercise and now I am 21 weeks I am (almost) back to normal. My body and mind want to go for it but my lung capacity is another story
Im up 20 pounds even though I have been watching what I eat and working out! But what can we do

Thank you for sharing Mommy!! I don't feel so alone now. I was eating high protein and lower carb and fat before and now I am higher carb so I believe that was/is one of the reasons. I had to eat carbs in order to keep my nausea at bay somewhat. I am feeling much better now in that area. I still have to be careful because of my Braxton Hicks that the midwife told me to take it easy due to prior preterm babies.0

Yes! Be safe , definitely not worth it! Gotta keep those babies safe 0

Hi Ladies! I thought I would check in. I'm just about 21 weeks and have gained about 5 lbs. It fluctuates pretty widely though (ie. if I weigh in at night after a weekend of travelling, I'm up 9 lbs, but the next day or so I go back to 5). I won't lie I'm still struggling with eating as cleanly as I did before I got pregnant. Some days vegetables just seem gross, and chocolate calls so sweetly
I'm trying my best though and always get lots of water in. I hope everyone else is feeling good, this second trimester business is definitely better than the first! 0 -
Height: 5'7"
starting: 140.8 lbs
cumulative gain:
10 weeks: - 3.4 bs
11 weeks: - 3.8 lbs
12 weeks: - 4.6 lbs

This last weekend was my daughters birthday and since then I have had cupcakes and/or banana pudding every day. Once it all runs out I hope I stop gaining so fast. But my chest and belly have had a half inch growth spurt while my butt stayed the same, so at least it's going to the right place!0 -

We got to see our baby boy on the ultrasound again this week. Dr. said he should be measuring at least 7 ounces at 19 weeks, AND HE WAS AT 11 oz!!! Either our due date was a bit off, or we have a very big boy. Either way, I'm glad he's growing! well. 0 -
18 weeks today and still no gain. I've upped my calories a little.0

Hello,
I am 9 weeks, 2 days. I m on my 2nd baby and have a 20 month old. I am currently at 243lbs.as of 09/09/13, ..I am a bit scared of gaining any weight, which is why I signed up with MFP. Im 38 yrs. old and although I haven't been to my 2nd prenatal appt., I am pretty sure my dr. will tell me not to gain more than a few pounds. She even already had me take the Glucose drink, which is not usually until 23 weeks. My BMI is 41...not good...but I don't have any problems with Diabetes, or high blood pressure, yet...pray it stays that way with this pregnancy.0 -

Haven't starting gaining yet still slowly losing... last appointment was at 18 weeks and found out we are having a boy... Doctor is fine with my weight loss so far because baby is growing good ... At 18 weeks he was perfect on measurements.

So I noticed alot of women who are still exercising while pregnant. I thought you couldn't really do too much strenous exercise besides walking ...maybe mommy yoga or swiming....can someone shed some ligh??. i'm soooo overweight at 243 lbs ..i was overweight before my 2nd pregnancy...and i am only 9 weeks. Can or should I try losing weight during this pregnancy??0

HI mommyhood,
I was interested in your post regarind your weightloss during pregnancy? Did i read that correct? Have you lost 28 lbs since your pregnancy? That is amazing:) i'm really worried about my current weight and being so overweight during my 2nd pregnancy. I am at 243 at 7 weeks, 5 days (ultrasound reading). How did you do it? Going to the gym or lower calorie intake during your whole pregnancy. I am so impressed by your story. Please share with me, how it could it be?
Thanks 0 -
I don't know about weight loss during pregnancy - best you talk to your doctor about that, but as far as exercise goes, you can do pretty much the same as what you were doing prior to getting pregnant (as long as your doctor okays it - some pregnancies are higher risk), for me that's lots of running. However you must listen to you body and if anything feels too uncomfortable, painful or difficult, you need to alter your exercise (I'm getting slower and slower).So I noticed alot of women who are still exercising while pregnant.

However, if you weren't exercising before getting pregnant, now is not the time to start - stick to walking and other low impact exercise such as swimming and yoga.0 -
My ticker is for my entire time on MFP- I started Mid march and got pregnant in May. I lost 17ish pounds before pregnancy and 11 ish pounds since pregnant... sorry for any confusion...0

HI there,
thank you for your comment. I makes sense. 0 -
Welcome to everyone new in the group!
I haven't been posting an update every week, but I had a BIG jump this week, and thought I should start with weekly updates. I went from hardly any gain to gaining several pounds in one week! I guess it was about time.

22w3d and finally gained a pound or two!
Looking to only gain about 10-12 total...so far so good!0 -
You're doing really well - and I love the pic, what a delicious bump - mine's not that big yet and I'm only two days behind you but have gained about 8-9 pounds (that being said at least three of them are boobs!) How tall are you? (I'm 5'8" and apparently the taller you are the longer it takes to show).22w3d and finally gained a pound or two!

20 weeks: - 0 lbs (currently 140.8 lbs)
Back to starting weight, hopefully I can keep the gain to a pound a week and only gain 20 pounds, but I'd still be happy with less than 30. Didn't work for my first, took 18 weeks to get back to starting weight and then still managed to gain 36 pounds. But I wasn't tracking back then, time to get back to my diary and stay honest!!0 -
I have officially updated my weight ticker.
Prepregnancy weight: 163.8
Weeks 1-8: Continued to lose
Weeks 8 - 19: 159.8
20 weeks: 162.2
Net gain = -1
My original goal was to stay under 200lbs and I think it's looking good so far.0 -
16 weeks pregnant today! Starting weight 115, current weight 119.6. Its steadily going up, up, up! My favorite pair of jeans almost don't fit anymore. I knew it was coming but it is still depressing. Haven't been able to workout for nearly two weeks due to massive stomach bug that the ENTIRE family got, gross...maybe once I start working out again I might be able to hold onto my pants longer....0

I'm 27 weeks today and a up a total of 15. It's frustrating to keep gaining a pound a week even when I am eating at less than maintenance (ok per my DR). Sometimes your body just does what it wants to. In this case, it's wants to retain lots of water, ugh!0

I am 5'5". I am 23w3d and have an official weight gain of 2lbs. I was 199ish pre-pregnancy, so I had plenty of stored energy for baby to feed off and my small gain isn't of any concern according to the doc.
I really need to update my pic though...That was taken at 19w and I have ballooned since then. I think Roo is going to be a freaking linebacker...great for hs...not so much for delivery lol!0 -
I'm 29 weeks tomorrow.
I am 1 kg off my pre diet weight. I was 66kg when I started mfp, 56.5 kgs when I got pregnant and am now 66kg.
I really didn't expect to gain so much weight during the first two trimesters of pregnancy. I will admit that it's mostly bump but I can't help but feel guttered that I am "back where I started". I know that part of pregnancy is gaining weight and that a healthy baby is the most important thing... but logic and emotion don't quite match up at the moment. ... one feel good bonus= still no stretch marks on my tummy 0 -
Everyone is doing so well! I have definitely been having some big growth spurts lately. Hopefully that will slow down soon!
