Hi Prego Ladies!!

I started my pregnancy out overweight at 5'6 at 187lbs. So I'm watching my weight really carefully. So far I'm at 16 weeks today and I weight 192lbs. It's a 5 lbs weight gain which was extrememly hard to control. But I'm pretty proud of myself for only gaining 5 lbs, my total pregnancy weight gain should be between 35-40lbs which is better than my first pregancy weight gain of 62 lbs! Here's to hoping I can keep it up for another 5 months!!!

Yay for EARLY MARCH babies!!!

Well, finally passed my pre-pregnancy weight. Was really hoping not to, but didn't think I was going to be able to keep it under. I'm swelling a lot now, so I know that I have a bit of water weight. My blood pressure was also a little high at my appointment yesterday (I've NEVER had high blood pressure in my life, even during my first pregnancy). I don't know if it's because of my weight, or the swelling, or what. But keeping an eye on it. Hopefully I can stay steady the next few weeks until the little one is here!

You are amazing! I have to ask, how did you manage not to gain anything? I just wake up in the morning and I'm heavier!

Total gain: 7 lbs

Gained 1.4 lbs this week. I suppose that's not too bad, but I'd really have liked it if it was a little less.

First, you ladies are remarkable. I genuinely feel this group has helped me remain motivated at a time I could have just gone nuts and eaten whatever.
27 weeks, up 12 lbs.
Ready for the 3rd trimester home stretch!

I put on 2.5 lbs almost instantly (120 at 5'4" to 122.5) and have maintained them pretty well the past few weeks. I'm 7 weeks now. I expect to be gaining a bit, as I used to undereat (1200 cals max) and that with a lot of running. I have had quite a bit of MS now, and I have two options: eat nothing or eat quite a bit. I switched myself to 1500 cals and am still running, but I'm definitely worried it isn't enough.

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 (home scale, right before appt, read 126.6)
June 23 - 21 weeks: 131 (Yikes, a 3 pound gain!! baby girl must have had a growth spurt this week!!)
July 14 - 24 weeks: 3rd routine appointment, weight = 132.1 (home scale, right before appt, read 131.4)
July 30 - 26 weeks, 2 days: 133.2, home scale
August 4 - 27 weeks: 137.2, home scale - after calorie intake was done for the day. 5 pounds in 3 weeks seems reasonable but 4 of it was in the last week.
August 11 - 28 weeks: routine appointment, weight = 136.4. 4.3 pound gain since last routine appointment.
August 25 - 30 weeks: routine appointment, weight = 140.4. Another 4 pounds between dr appointments, YIKES!
September 8 - 32 weeks: routine appointment, weight = 140. Holding steady for now; back to loss of appetite though...
September 22 - 34 weeks: routine appointment, weight = 147. I hate it when they use the old-school scale and not the digital. I don't feel any bigger than I did 2 weeks ago...hopefully in two weeks I'll be weighed on the digital and be a little more trusting of the number.


6 weeks to go and up 25ish pounds

I've officially gained the most I ever have for either a pregnancy and in general! LOL Thankfully I've been eating healthy foods throughout, so I'm healthy. Hopefully this big baby will come soon and I can start losing again! Midwife estimates the baby is about 8.5-9lbs already!

Starting weight: 145
15 weeks: 160lbs
23 weeks: 175lbs
33 weeks: 184lbs
40 weeks: 198.4lbs

almost 54lbs gained!!!

(Previous 2 pregnancies, I gained 45lbs) Fingers crossed that this will be my last weigh in and baby comes this week!

You are amazing! I have to ask, how did you manage not to gain anything? I just wake up in the morning and I'm heavier!

Well, I lost 18 lbs in 1st Tri due to both morning sickness, and switching my horrible eating to a healthy eating plan. I certainly didn't diet on purpose or anything! And I didn't track my calories after awhile, because I was getting too stressed about trying to keep them low. I basically just ate when I was hungry, and only ate until I was satisfied (not packed full!). I also drank a lot of water, which not only kept me feeling fuller but a lot of times I tend to mistake thirst for hunger.

I'm still gaining, though... I've been really bad about what I've been eating the last week and a half! We went out a few times, it was our anniversary, special events at church, etc... I am not looking forward to weighing in on Friday morning. :blushing:

Pre pregnancy- 229

5 weeks- 229
6 weeks- 230.2

8 weeks- 232.3
9 weeks- 231.6
10 weeks- 232.1
11 weeks- 229.4
12 weeks- 231.7

Total: + 2.7 lbs

Not bad considering I haven't had morning sickness with the exception of a couple weeks off and on, which means still needing to control my big appetite. I'm almost 13 weeks and am pretty happy with only 2.7 lbs but I was hoping to lose first trimester since I'm already about 50 lbs overweight. My doctor wants me to aim for a 20-25 lbs gain, which surprised me because I thought she would have suggested only 15 lbs. I'm not sure how long I can get away with maintaining this weight, but I want to as long as possible so I don't gain TOO much.

If I want to aim for 20 lbs maximum, how would that normally be distributed in terms of gaining it slowly in the appropriate amounts for second and third trimester? Just a general idea?

Holy crap, I can't even see that 54 lbs on you! I swear you are all belly. You look like you swallowed a basketball :P I think you look great.

Ha ha! Thank you! (I love you! lol) I gained slowly and steadily all over, so I think it will be more apparent with the "post-partum shift"....you know, where all of the fat drops into the bottom half? LOL I don't feel that big though or that uncomfortable! Its shocking to me, too, that I've gained that much! I know about half will come off the first month and I'm really looking forward to that!

Hello all!

Pre pregnancy 109lbs 5'1"

5 weeks 109 lbs
13 weeks 114lbs

Gained about 5-6lbs during my first trimester. Aiming to gain 35lbs. Gained 34lbs with baby #1.

14, almost 15 weeks & weigh 116lbs. So I'm up 7lbs.

16 weeks- 118lbs (+9)

17 weeks- 119lbs (+10lbs)

19 weeks- 119lbs (+10lbs)

No weight gain on my scale. My doctors scale says I gained 18lbs when I went in on Tuesday! I think I'll trust my scale since I've been using it since the beginning. At my doctors office, the scales vary on which room I use & time of day I go.

20 weeks- 120lbs (+11)
21weeks-121lbs (+12)

22 weeks- 122lbs (+13lbs)
I've been very stressed this week so I'm surprised that I didn't gain more! Going to the fair Sunday so next time I weigh in might be a doozy!

Well, that was a huge gain this week. I'm not surprised (although I don't think it's entirely accurate, since I'm constipated and have finally gone to the bathroom twice after weighing in this morning.) But we ate out a few times, and I had some seriously high calorie meals! I'm still swelling a LOT, so I'm hoping at least half the weight I've put back on is water. A girl can dream, right? LOL

I was in L&D the other night getting a non stress test as my blood pressure was a teensy bit high. I was having contractions, and I'm apparently already dilated to a 3. So I'm hoping this baby will come in the next few weeks, and not go overdue! I'm tired of stressing over the weight gain!

I'm 5'4", pre-prenancy was 159.

Week 4-157
Week 8-160.2
Week 12-161
Week 15-160

I actually started out heavier with this one than with all of my others. Little disappointed in myself that I had gained so much prior to getting pregnant. I typically was around 145, but gained over 10lbs in no time from not working out and not eating well.
