Congrats on the growth spurt! It's so weird when that happens haha. Just two weeks ago, I was going on a trip and wanted to bring my rain jacket. It was pretty tight to do up and a bit uncomfortable. So I borrowed a coat from a friend. When I got back 8 days later, the coat had a solid 1.5" gap between the zipper making it impossible to do up and I was like "wtf" lol. But you have no need to worry! 5 lbs since week 12 is normal weight gain
babies really do have growth spurts! I've had a few with mine!
I went shopping for maternity stuff last weekend, and I was thinking maybe I was jumping the gun a bit, but now I am really happy I did. I have by looser dress pants on today that have been fine up till now, as of this morning they are no longer buttonable.
I guess I am just a little nervous as I am supposed to try to keep it under 20 lbs, so I am already 1/4 there, a little earlier than planned, but maybe it will straiten out over the next couple weeks. Oh well, life will go on. If I gain a little extra I can lose it, I have done it before.

Once I could start eating again after 12 weeks (morning sickness), I put on 10 pounds in 6 weeks. CRAP. I just started counting calories again at week 19 and set it to maintain for now. There's no way I'm only going to gain 15 pounds this pregnancy. I'll be lucky if it's only 25!!! Pregnancy hunger is real, I literally am hungry every 90 minutes, and it's very hard to always make healthy choices. But I am not liking how I look and feel, so I need to put a big fat pause on the gaining...

Just do the best you can, logging seems to help most people. Also, try to get lots of protein, seems like most people don't stay full on lots of carbs.

Week 28: 4/16: 174.6 (+20.6)
Third trimester!! Feeling large and kinda swollen now. Was hoping to stay under 25 lb gained but now I'm thinking under 30 is more realistic. My total daily average calories this week was 1575, don't feel comfortable going much lower. Trying to be ask active as I can but tire easily.1 -
week 8: 210.8
week 9: 211.6
week 10: 212.6 (+2.6)
week 11: 212.6 (+2.6)
week 12: 211.8 (+1.8)
week 13: 211.8 (+1.8)
week 14: 212.6 (+2.6)
week 15: 213 (+3)
week 16: 212.4 (+2.4)
week 17: 215.2 (+5.2)
week 18: 215.2 (+5.2)
guess if weight loss isn't linear it makes sense that weight gain wouldn't be either. Glad I didn't see another big jump though, still trying to keep it under 20lbs.1 -

Try not to worry! If there aren't any other signs there are problems you might just not be carrying some of the water weight and swelling alot of women experience later on. I imagine that is included in some of the averages they come up with.
You are right on track for where I should be if I were in your shoes, but I started out alot heavier than you

Time for my weekly check-in.
This is my first pregnancy, and I am shooting for a 25-30 lb. weight gain.
Height: 5'3"
SW: 115
Week 17: 116 (+1)
Week 18: 117 (+2)
Week 19: 119.5 (+4.5)
Week 20: 120 (+5)
Week 21: 121 ( +6)
Week 22: 123.5 (+8.5, cumulative)
I have no idea how you guys are showing such steady weight gain. I seem to just gain in huge jumps. At this point, I'm doing everything that I can reasonably do nutritionally/calorically, so I'm just going to enjoy the ride and hope these jumps chill out soon!2 -

I guess I should stop worrying too much. Talked to the midwife again and they seem fine if I only gain 5 more lbs. And my belly is measuring at the right amount so I guess.. I should just relax and enjoy. And eat food.
But I still can't get it out of my head... that I should gain more. But maybe it is just that I'm not retaining some of the water. I don't have any swelling.
At 31+3 I measured 31 cm so that's bang on for fundal height.2 -

Hi everyone! I just found out last week that I'm pregnant. I'm 5 weeks along. So, this is my 2nd pregnancy. My daughter is 13. I'm scared to death. With my daughter, I had uncontrolled weight gain. I gained a staggering 130 lbs. I doubled my weight. Half of the weight I gained was water. I had +4 pitting edema. By the time my daughter was 1 month old, I lost 70 lbs. By the time she was 6 months old I was back within a healthy BMI. I wasn't active AT ALL during my pregnancy. I ate mostly junk food. I've learned my lesson. But here I am, pregnant again. And gaining quickly.
Week 4: 162.8
Week 5: 165.6
I'm counting calories. I work out 1 hour almost every day. I'm freaking out. I've gained 3 lbs in a week. I want to believe it's water weight but given my history, I don't know. I know I'm probably eating a little too much but not enough to warrant this kind of gain.

Sounds like you spaced them out just right to have a personal baby sitter
Try not to freak out too much. I didn't start logging here that early in my pregnancy, but I remember having a bit of a spike around 5/6 weeks that fell back off, I attested it to hormones since your hormones are ramping up and getting your body all set to keep carrying the baby.
Seems like trying to stay a bit active may help ward of the edema issues you had last time, keep the blood and lymph system flowing a little bit. I know in the first trimester walking helped me feel a little better too during my more miserable weeks 6-8. Definitely talk to your ob about what can be done for that particular side effect though!
Congratulations!2 -
Hello all. I used to be on this board a couple of months ago. I was pregnant (about 7 weeks along) but had a miscarriage on 11/8 (Election Day)
I'm now going to be 13 weeks on Saturday. Everything looks perfect according to the midwife
Height: 5'1.5"
SW- 118 ( I gained weight from the winter and being sad about the miscarriage).
Week12: 122 ( I was bloated though).
I'm petite so I don't want to gain a lot of weight because my back hurts.1 -

Welcome, and I am very sorry for your previous loss.
My new "week" starts on Saturday too, but I am always temped to just say I'm on the next week by the previous Thursday, I guess because I feel more than halfway over the work week so that counts, right?0
