Morning

I'm up another 2lb this week !! So 19lb total at 29 weeks. (5'7. Start weight 157)

I have stayed the same the last 2 weeks so still up 19lb at 31 weeks. Bump had grown though (as per measurements with midwife) so seemed to be ok.

Im trying to walk/exercise 30 mins each day and drink lots of water. The weather not that warm here so not struggling too much yet!

18 lb gain so far, trying to keep it under 165 total. 5'3" 29 years old.

Been keeping up with my elliptical workouts this week aiming for 60 minutes a day. I went overboard last night so I'm hoping this is bloat, I've been hovering around 163.5 the past few days.

Congratulations AlysonG2!!!!! Hope you guys are doing well!!!

Congratulations @AlysonG2 thanks for posting... I'm excited to follow you... im curious about after delivery!

I'll be honest. I was extremely disappointed to find I actually weighed 2 pounds MORE the day we got home than I did the day we went to the hospital. But each day since I've lost 2-3 pounds, so it's coming off, just not all at once like I thought it would.

My last pregnancy I had lost 20+ pounds by the time we got home from the hospital. Not sure what the difference is this time!

my last pregnancy I was only a couple pounds down after 4 days in in the hospital. If you had an iv you're probably just retaining water. Last time about 6 days later I woke up and didn't recognize myself in the mirror because I'd literally lost 10 lbs overnight. It will happen

pre-preg weight was 155.6... I had lost a bit before I found out we were pregnant.
Age 31, 5'0
Goal 15-25 lb gain

10 weeks: 150.4
11 weeks: 151.4
12 weeks: 150.2
13 weeks: 149.6
14 weeks: 151.0
15 weeks: 150.6
16 weeks: 152.2
17 weeks: 153.0
18 weeks: 153.2
19 weeks: 154.4
20 weeks: 154.6
21 weeks: 154.4
22 weeks: 154.8
23 weeks: 155.4
24 weeks: 157.4
25 weeks: 156.4
26 weeks: 157.8
27 weeks: 156.8
28 weeks: 157.4
29 weeks: 161.0
30 weeks: 160.8
(almost)31 weeks: 161.8

So I decided to weigh myself a day early since we leave early in the morn tomorrow and I probably won't have access to a scale for a bit. I've got another 8 weeks before my scheduled c-section and I think it's safe to say I'm on track for a 20 lb gain or maybe a bit more, which is so much better than when I was pregnant with my son so I'm pleased with that! I was already 10 lbs overweight (if you believe bmi measurements) when I got pregnant with him and went on to gain over 42 lbs from my starting weight - I stopped weighing myself at that point near the end of my pregnancy. This time around I was like 27 lbs above the top range of healthy bmi. I have to say though, it is SO WEIRD how different pregnancies can be!

Anyway, my goal this week while on vacation with my husband is to get 20 minutes of intentional exercise in a day (even if its just yoga in the hotel room before bed), to drink 64 oz plus of water, and to not go overboard eating (gonna be the hardest!)

1: 184.3
2: 182.8
3: 181.5
4: 181.2
5: 181.2
6: 181.2
7: 181.7
8: 181.9
9: 182.3
10: 181.7
11: 182.3
12: 183.4
13: 183.2
14: 184.2
15: 186.2
16: 186.3
17: 186.7
18: 187.4
19: 192.2
20: 190.7
21: 193.3
22: 196.0
23: 196.7
24: 198.6
25: 200.0
26: 201.7 (+17.4)

3 lbs over the recommended 191.8-198.3 range but oh well. It's still better than the last pregnancy.

It's ok you can make better choices from here on out. Talk to your doctor before starting any "exercise routine" as they don't recommend starting anything vigorous if your body isn't used to working out already. I'm sure just adding a daily 30 min walk would be fine though.

Find a manageable calorie intake like 2000-2300 (but still discuss this with your doctor). I try ("try" being the operative word) to keep mine around 2300.
I'm sure other people on here will have their own advice too.
