    32 yo and 1st pregnancy
    Height: 5'7"
    SW: 168
    Goal: ~20 lb. gain

    Week 8: 168.0 (+0)
    Week 9: 167.8 (-0.2/-0.2)
    Week 10: 168.6 (+0.8/+0.6)
    Week 11: 167.4 (-1.2/-0.6)
    Week 12: 168.4 (+1.0/+0.4)
    Week 13: 170.4 (+2.0/+2.4)
    Week 14: 169.6 (-0.8/+1.4)
    Week 15: 169.6 (+0.0/+1.4)
    Week 16: 171.2 (+1.6/+3.2)
    Week 17: 171.0 (-0.2/+3.0)
    Week 18: 171.8 (+0.8/+3.8)
    Week 19: 171.0 (-0.8/+3.0)
    Week 20: 174.0 (+3.0/+6.0)
    Week 21: 173.6 (-0.4/+5.6)
    Week 22: 173.8 (+0.2/+5.8)
    Week 23: 175.4 (+1.6/+7.4)
    Week 24: 175.0 (-0.4/+7.0)
    Week 25: 177.8 (+2.8/+9.8)
    Week 26: 178.6 (+0.8/+10.6)
    Week 27: 178.0 (-0.8/+10.0)
    Week 28: 179.8 (+1.8/+11.8)
    Week 29: 180.4 (+0.6/+12.4)

    With 11 weeks to go I hope I stay close to my ~20lb goal. If I average 1lb/week I should be at 23-24lbs total which would be within my goal weight. We shall see though, we have big babies in my family and he/she will start packing on his/her own pounds now too. :)

    Second week of losing! Somewhat relieved to only be at +2.2 lbs at this point. With my first, I gained a total of 30 lbs, and had only gained 3 lb first trimester. My goal is to gain a little less this time, so I wasnt happy when I was close to my first trimester goal at only 9 weeks. I havent tried to lose weight. Just less nauseous, and able to eat healthier again.

    Side benefit of weighing myself regularly during pregnancy, which I never did for either of my previous pregnancies: when the scale jumps 2 pounds in a day or two, I know it’s time for Colace.

    I read a recent paper from the National Institutes of Health saying that doctors and patients should be worrying more about body composition than weight gain during pregnancy and I tend to agree. I really don't want to fuss about the scale... it makes me anxious and it makes me focus on the wrong things. I'd rather go off measurements of my arms and thighs and other spots that wouldn't necessarily change much if I was just gaining a lot of baby/placenta/fluid weight. Anyone else feel the same?

    @luckywizard if you don't want to weigh and measure instead, I think that's fine. I prefer to weigh because changes will show up more on the scale and tracked long term. To each their own! :)

    Big gain this week, I have such an appetite I then am punished for with terrible heartburn. I need to figure out how to manage both with smaller but filling more frequent meals.

    @luckywizard I think every pregnant woman should do what works for them. I like to weigh myself weekly because I want to gain consistently and in my biggest gain wks I was eating less healthy options so for me it's been on the money. But measurements would work too, I really have only gained in belly/ bust. Out of curiosity bc people kept saying I was having a girl (team green) because of my "growing" hips I checked a few wks ago, and hips were 1/4" smaller than the last measurement before I got pregnant. So lol I guess that means my weight/ size is really just baby centric. I think if you end up with bad fluid retention/swelling it will show up in both scale and measurements so there is no way good of accounting for that.

    Week 37: 185 (+1.25/+31)

    I give up! I've been good this week and not eaten a lot by my standards but have still been piling on the pounds. I guess my body is going to do what it wants regardless of what I put in it. Im pretty sure I've got a tooth infection which makes eating very tricky - hopefully it will help get my eating under control!
