Past the halfway mark! Yay! And I am up 5.2 lbs.

Had another appointment yesterday and have an updated weight again. And I remembered to weigh myself before at home so I could "calibrate" my scale and weigh myself more often.

1st pregnancy
Height: 5'6
Pre-pregnancy goal weight: 120
At home scale: reading 120 - 121 in February (unknowingly pregnant) but I don't know how much I trust that compared to those in the doctors' offices.
March 26 - 8 weeks, 2 days: appointment with primary doctor to confirm pregnancy, weight = 123.0
April 14 - 11 weeks: 1st routine OB appointment, weight = 123.8
April 19 - 11 weeks, 4 days: 1st ultrasound, weight = 121.0 (she didn't use the same digital scale this time so I don't buy this weight...)
May 19 - 16 weeks: 2nd routine appointment, weight = 124.7
June 16 - 20 weeks: 2nd ultrasound, weight = 128


I asked the doctor if my weight gain was too low and he said he didn't care because every measurement of the baby he took was right at the 50th percentile. He also mentioned that I probably wouldn't get away with it too much longer as the baby picks up speed on growing

look at you! doing great! and its true I gain the most during 20-30weeks but then it slows down for me after 30weeks, I suppose each pregnancy is different though so things may be different for me this time, ehh. As long as baby is measuring on track and everything else is going great, that's all that counts. Weight gain is different for each momma. I usually use the weight at my home scale cause when you go to the Dr you have other things that add weight (clothes, shoes, drinking fluids in the waiting room (that's what I do LOL) ) and it usually give me 3lbs more then what I would weigh first thing in the AM no clothes and shoes on.

Height: 161cm (5'4)
Starting weight: 84kg (185lb) BMI 32.4 (obese)
Trying to stick to max 8000kJ (1900cal)

13w: 86kg (189lb) +4
17w: 89kg (196lb) +11
21w: 91kg (200lb) +15
22w: 94kg (207lb) +22
24w: 94kg (207lb) +22
25w: 95kg (209lb) +24
26w: 95kg (209lb) +24
27w: 97kg (213lb) +28

Doc says nothing about the 2 times I've gained 2/3kg in a few days. GD test came back normal, so maybe my body just likes getting fatter.

Hi Ladies! I am 5'7, 175lbs and even before I got pregnant I weighed myself like crazy. At one point last year I had gotten down to 155 lbs. and I was ecstatic! But a lot happened in the last year and my eating habits changed and I was not eating as healthy as I should have been. I am 6w 3d today ( MY FIRST! :happy: ) and haven't gained yet. I am actually hoping not to gain any until the second trimester. I am still running 3-4 days a week (2-3 miles) but have slowed down to make sure I can breathe easy, and walk the other 2-3 days a week (3-4) miles. I am keeping my healthy eating habits on track for the most part so far but I am SO hungry all of the time now. And I find myself feeling nauseous and sick when if I wait too long to eat something. I am finding it quite difficult to keep it all in check and not overeat because I am constantly hungry. I am terrified of gaining too much weight with this pregnancy.

Week 4: 175.3
Week 5: 173.8
Week 6: 175.3

Starting weight: 156 lbs

Week 13: 160.2 lbs (+4.2 lbs) right on track
Week 17 1/2: 162.2 (+6.2 lbs) on track (At home scale 17JUN14)
Week 17 1/2: 161.4(+5.4 lbs) on track (Doctor office scale! 18JUN14)

So doctor office scale is measuring me as lower weight than home scale so I guess that's awesome. I have only gained 5.4 pounds which is awesome and my hard work at eating in calorie range (1600 - 2000 NET calories/ day) is paying off with exercising everyday 20 minutes walk at work and 3-4 times week cardio at home (workout dvds)
Doctor said I am on track and she is proud of my efforts to keep at it . Baby is doing great steady healthy heartbeat. Can't wait till July 16th find out the gender! :bigsmile:

Welcome! My advice as far as the constant hunger is to eat when you're hungry... but not an entire meal. I gained a ton with my son because I ate constantly, and until I was too full. This time around, I literally eat once an hour, maybe up to 2 hrs... but I do small stuff. Like cucumbers with some ranch sauce, or a handful of nuts, or some crackers with cheese or peanut butter, an apple, etc... Eating something small once an hour or so will also help with the nausea!

I've also heard that eating a diet higher in protein will help with the morning sickness as well, even though we want to reach for carbs all the time.

So... if you're hungry, eat. Don't go hungry for fear of gaining weight, you don't want to "diet" while you're pregnant... but you can keep it in check by eating healthy snacks and eating until your hunger is satisfied and NOT eating until you're stuffed. Also, drink tons of water! (I have to flavor mine with fruit, because I don't care for it plain) This will help not only with the hunger, but keep you hydrated and hopefully keep swelling down to a minimum.

(and the occasional sweets or chips or pizza, etc... is fine too! Just don't live on them. :laugh: )

Starting weight 163 pounds 37 wks I'm 205 pounds :noway: gained like crazy in 2nd trimester :grumble:

Pre-pregnancy: 190lbs (5'5" - Obese BMI)
37 weeks: 205

Goal: 15 lbs (with doctor agreeing)

Looks like I will be closer to a 18-20 lbs by delivery. I think most of it will be water weight, my ankles and feet are so much puffier than they were 2 to 3 weeks ago. I ate very reasonably and exercised almost every day until the end of the third trimester. I worked very hard to keep my weight gain on track for the pregnancy. I have been exercising less and eating more junk now that I'm at the end. I fluctuate +/- 2-3 lbs due to water retention.

I totally hear ya! Im like 2-3 lbs more than I was the beginning of the week. Im freaking out cause I've never put on that much weight in one week. It was right after a birthday party, but I didn't eat any cake, just a few chips and sandwiches. Ugh. ANd today I made things worse and ate 2 slices of pizza :noway:

Haha! I did the same thing.... I drowned my sorrows in more junk food. I went back down 1 lb, but kept the other .8 lbs. Oh well. My weight has done that twice now, and both times I had eaten a snack bag of cool ranch doritos... Apparently the sodium in those really affects me, even though I drink lots of water!

I think my clean/healthy eating willpower left at the same time my morning sickness did. I ate so much better when junk food made me want to puke! :laugh:

37 weeks and I have reached +33 lbs

In this past week alone I have gained 2 lbs. This is a total deja vu of my first pregnancy! Last month I start adding 2-4 lbs per week. Ugh!
