No gain for 3 weeks...does that seem weird?
For those with lower gains so far, I'm curious what your goals are and why? Sometimes everything in pregnancy feels so arbitrary (ie. the 25-35 lb recommended gain for people from 4 ft to 6 ft pretty much) I wonder if your dr. is saying something else or if it's personal preference. No judgement either way (it's your body and your baby!) I'm just nosy
@MrsNorris & rachael116- for me personally, I am just shooting toward the low end of my recommended weight gain, which is 25 lbs. I don't want to gain any unnecessary fat. I'm not really working out anymore, and I'm honestly not eating a perfect diet. I try to walk as often as possible, and I try to eat as many healthy meals as possible. For the most part though, I'm just listening to my body and going with the flow.
You're right- it does seem weird that almost everyone has the same "recommended weight gain" amounts. Our bodies are SO different!0 -

For my height and weight I am considered morbidly obese (started this pregnancy at 225-227 and I am 5ft) so my doctor does not want to see me gain over 11 pounds and he fine with me losing or maintaining just as long as I don't gain over the 11 pounds... I am not exercising I am just eating intuitively and just eating when I am hungry vs bored or when others tell me to eat more cause I am eating for two... I lost weight for most of this pregnancy - will be 30 weeks Friday and now maintaining/ gaining... some days I see a gain then I go right back down lol today I weighed 217.6 ( the lowest I got this pregnancy was 213.8)... I will do my official weigh in on Friday...0 -

Wanted to wait until the third tri to hit 170 but was ravenous last week, so I tried to fill up on healthy foods and go with the flow.For those with lower gains so far, I'm curious what your goals are and why?

I was one of those people, and the I just wanted a cushion because I know the baby is going to grow a lot in the third trimester. And look, my latest weigh in reflects that! :P My original goal was to stay under 200, but I would love to deliver in the 180s.0 -

Good question! I've been stunned (and honestly, felt a bit bad about myself!) coming into this group and seeing so little weight gain! It's hard not to feel like, "wait! What am I doing wrong?" I couldn't imagine just putting on a few pounds!
I gained a full 40lbs with my first two pregnancies and was completely prepared for it with my third (especially being 5 years older. My metabolism isn't what it was in my 20s.) My midwife 'okayed' it back at the beginning of my pregnancy, but even if she hadn't, there really isn't a darned thing I could have done to keep the weight off! I'm astounded that so many can 'control' their weight like that! I've learned by now that my body needs the extra weight during pregnancy in order to fulfill the demands of breastfeeding.

For me, I feel like 15 lbs at 30 weeks is a great number. IF (and that's a big IF) I can stick to a pound a week from now on, I'll hit my target of 25 lbs. I guess we will see.
My good news is...I PASSED THE 3 HR GLUCOSE TEST! YAY! I'm very thankful!0 -

Happy to have survived Thanksgiving without gaining any weight! I had a few very high calorie days but lately I haven't been as hungry as usual and have been under my calorie goals. I'm actually stunned with how little I've gained overall but considering I've gained 10.8 pounds in essentially 8 weeks that makes me feel like I've been gaining too fast. My end goal is 170, which would be 30 pounds. With my first pregnancy I started higher and hit 170 at 33 weeks, was totally swollen and couldn't get my rings on anymore. I felt huge and ugly and just kept getting bigger so I want to try and eliminate that feeling this time. It definitely seems like I am on track if I still have 20 pounds of wiggle room and only 11 weeks left.0 -
height: 5'2"
starting weight: 144 lb
lowest weight during pregnancy: 135 lb (@~12w)
current weight: 161 lb (@36w3d)
With my first pregnancy, I started at 135lb and gained 45lb. Within two weeks of labor I had lost 30lb. I was still working off those last 15lb when #2 showed up though I didn't know it until near the end of the first trimester which happened to also be when I finally reached my original pre-preg weight. So even though it's technically not my starting weight, I've been basing my total weight gain off of 135lb rather than 144lb. So I would say that I'm up 26 pounds with only 3-5 weeks to go!0 -
25 weeks pregnant as of yesterday and currently weigh 128.4. My starting weight was 115 so I'm sitting at a 13 1/2 pound weight gain. I'm getting induced at 38 weeks so I have 13 more weeks to keep weight gain slow and steady LOL. We will see..........0

I don't know what happened! I gained nearly 2.5 lbs in one week! I am a little swollen, so I'm trying to consume a ton of water this week. I hope I don't spin out of control these last few months!0 -
Anybody else taking measurements?

Hips (around butt): 34" to 36.5"
Thighs: 18.5" pre-weightlifting, up to 19.5" just before pregnancy, dropped to 19" in the first trimester when I wasn't squatting 1.5x bodyweight, and now up to 20" and not from squats.0 -

I started tracking my calories again at 26 weeks after I was gaining too much too fast and now I seem to have stalled. I had a doctor's appointment today and she is unconcerned saying weight gain comes in spurts but it just feels like I should be higher at this point. I am much smaller with this pregnancy than I was with my first. With my first I had already gained 20 pounds and was consistently gaining 1.8-2 pounds a week. Plus my belly was about 2.5 inches bigger around. I have my calories set to gain a half pound a week and I often go over when I'm hungry so I'm not too concerned, I guess I'm just shocked. I didn't track calories last pregnancy and I suppose that's the difference.0 -

I am packing on the pounds, my friends! Had a 32 week ultrasound yesterday. Average weight for 32 week baby is 2.5-3.8 pounds. Our little guy was measuring 4 lbs, 13 oz! That's huge! I hope I don't have a 9 pound baby!!! Anyone else know the appx weight of your little one? I'm just curious. I know their estimates can be off a bit, as well.0 -

Been eating A LOT of Christmas cookies this week. I'll be traveling for the next 2 weeks which makes logging calories really hard. I'm happy with my weight gain so far so I'm not too concerned about the holidays but hopefully I don't go overboard.0 -

Spent two weeks away from my own cooking and scale. I hate logging other people's homemade cooking, plus I decided to take a break for all of the Christmas goodies. Hate that I gained 5 pounds in two weeks, but overall I'm still happy. I just need to watch it so I don't gain 3 pounds every week for the next 7 weeks.0 -
