how much weight have you gained

Congrat meghan! On staying under 30 and you new little bundle!:)0

I read a couple articles that indicated maternal fat gain takes place earlier in pregnancy and pretty much tops off by 20 weeks. The remaining weight gain in the second and third trimesters is baby, blood, placenta, fluids, etc. I thought that was interesting and it helped me chill out a bit!0
-
My doctor actually just told me this yesterday. She says anything you gain after 20 weeks should come off pretty easily--most are stuck with what they gained up to 20 weeks.0

Well that's good news considering I gained less than 5 lbs up to 20 weeks!0

This is my third pregnancy and I have had extreme experiences both ways. My first pregnancy, I was over-stressed and only gained a total of 15 pounds and was 30 pounds lighter within a week of delivery. My second pregnancy, I was so scared of depriving myself & the baby, that I gained a whopping 65 pounds and struggled to get the weight off and couldn't maintain my pre-pregnancy weight afterwards. I dropped down to an unhealthy weight and then climbed right back up.
This pregnancy, I have tried to limit myself to only gain about 20-30 pound total since I was a little heavy when I got pregnant. But with 7 weeks left, I have already hit the 30 pound mark and am now struggling to maintain my current weight and not get any bigger.0 -
That IS super interesting about the fat stores being built up in the first 20 weeks! My son I was pp weight at 20 weeks and gained 23 lbs after that, lost the 23 lbs within 8 days of birth. My daughter I have no clue as i was afraid to step on a scale until I was 2 months pp. 20 weeks with my daughter I was up 10 lbs, and gained 36 more after that... 2 months pp I was only down 22 lbs, but I could have been eating crazy while BFing. I was so upset when I did my measurements recently and realized my butt was up 2" already! I was horrified, but if that's the fat stores and if I eat reasonable maybe that's the only inches on my butt I'll have to lose I guess I'll count myself lucky. Will be trying to keep my cool about the weight I've put on and the future weight I put on. I couldn't believe with my son I put on 6 lbs in the last two weeks alone! (when he went overdue!) It's amazing how quickly it can happen and how quickly or not quickly it can come off. Every pregnancy (even for the same person) is so different!0

Yes! I was shocked at the doctor's office at my 22 week weigh in. I went up 12lbs in one month! That is, by far, my biggest weight jump. My second biggest weight jump was at 26 week visit and I was only up 4lbs at that appointment. There were a couple other women on here that also said around 20-22 weeks was their highest gain. I read online somewhere that the baby doubles in size about this time.0 -
Hi All
realised i hadnt checked in since i was 25 weeks! im 32 weeks now and in total am up 15lbs (i was up 12lbs at 25 weeks) this has been higher and lower - it seems to fluctuate depending on the day!
happy with it over all though as i havent been able to keep active as my hip was sore for a time and i have eaten a lot of chocloate and sweets - its what the baby wants!0 -
36 week doctor check in and I've gained a total of 20lbs. I had a goal of no more than 25lbs so hopefully I'll be able to meet that and lose it all quickly! Some have told me they gained the most the last part of pregnancy but I gained most of mine during the first/second trimester and have only gained a total of 5lbs during my third. I guess I'll see what the next 4 weeks bring, hopefully just a baby and not much more weight!0

at 25+1 I've gained about 13.5 so far.0

Nothing new here. Work put the scale back out, but they put it in the ladies bathroom and I don't know if the floor is unlevel or what, but it does not give an accurate reading anymore. I've just been using my scale at home and it is pretty much in line with my MW's office scale so I'll just use that going forward. For the most part, my home scale and work scale were the same - my house scale only gives whole #s. Hoping the weather gets warmer here over the next couple of weeks so I can get out walking. We've been lucky to get a few warmer (50s) days here and there, but they don't stick around for more than a day at a time. Everyone is still doing an awesome job. Congrats on the new babies and weightloss success so far!!!!0 -
We've been lucky to get a few warmer (50s) days here and there, but they don't stick around for more than a day at a time.
I am sorry, to me 50 degrees is cold! I didnt start going back out and walking until it got to the 60s (about a month ago) and I still wore a jacket. It has been 70s all this week and last, hoping we hit 80 next week, then I can say it is warm!
I have been doing a better job of resisting checking the scale each morning. I am trying to not worry about my weight gain so much, especially as it really isn't so bad. I was a bit sad this morning to see that I am only 2lbs away from my all time highest weight. I started on MFP at my highest and managed to lose a few before getting pregnant, and I am almost back there and sure to go higher.
But, as I said, I am not going to stress it. Weigh in, call the scale a name or two and go eat and move on!

Yikes! I hadn't weighed in a while. I just started being consistent with exercise this week and realized I was seriously eating way over maintenance, so I'm hoping the number will either drop a tad or stop increasing for a while! lol My last pregnancy, I was up 7 lbs at this point, but then started gaining 2 pounds a week until the 3rd trimester and ended up with a 45lb gain (183 the day I delivered). So I'm hopeful that it will all balance out in the end if I can stick to only gaining a pound a week or less from here on out! The goal is to be really active and try to stay between 180-185 for delivery! 0 -

Total Gain So far: 15.2lbs
GOAL: Only gain 25 Lbs during pregnancy.
Did really well last week and only gained a little over half a lb. This week I gained 2. But I ate a lot of heavy foods yesterday and had a lot of gluten free brownies this past week. I'm hoping to slow the gain down again this week. My goal is to ONLY gain 5 lbs or less this month since my doctors weren't happy with my 9lb gain in between my last two appointments. Gotta get better.0 -

Glad I maintained/lost a little this last week as I wasn't expecting that big of a jump the previous 2 weeks.
meggwyn: omg I went crazy second pregnancy and like you gained like 2 lbs a week until delivery pretty much. I gained 46 lbs total. I was not thrilled. Here's hoping you'll be more active, but you can always lose it later if you do the same as last time
mycrazy8splus: You're doing amazing! So encouraging!
