28 weeks - weight question
I have my next appointment next Monday and I was getting concerned that I have been eating ALOT since my last appointment (right before Thanksgiving). So this morning I got on the scale and I had no weight gain for the last 4 weeks. I was about 25 pounds overweight before I got pregnant and I have gained 13 pounds so far. Would you be worried? I know each woman is different but not one pound from 24-28 weeks? I'm getting worried......

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
since you go to the dr next week, I would not worry too much.
Plus your scale could be different then theirs.
I am DREADING my appointment tomorrow......I am concerned I gained too much, I feel like I don't stop eatting!

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
I am 34 weeks pg and I have only gained 20lbs. I was overweight before pregnancy too. Since my 25 week appoinment I have gained nothing. My doctor doesn't seem concerned. Everyone is different. I wouldn't worry.

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
I would technically have been considered "underweight" based on preggo BMI and at my 30 week appt last night I have only gained 19lbs; my doctors are fine with it. Some women just don't gain a lot regardless of how much they eat - it doesn't mean it's an issue. If you're concerned, though, definitely speak with your doctor about it at the next appt - I'm sure they'll reassure you

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
I wouldnt worry at all...i think at that point I had only put on 7lbs...I am up to 17lbs now at almost 38wks and the doc dosent think I will even make it another week so the whole preg I may only put on 17lbs and it hasnt been a concern since my stomach is measuring either right on or ahead at all my appts.

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
I had my 24 week appointment last Friday and I didn't gain anything during the last 4 weeks. The doctor wasn't worried at all. I was really nervous though... I thought this would be another 8 pound month for me!!!

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
I had an appt the monday after Thanksgiving and I lost 3.5 lbs. The nurse actually asked me "Who loses weight over Thanksgiving". The PA said as long as I'm not dehydrated and not throwing up a lot, that fluctuations in weight gain are ok. I'm 34 weeks and I've only gained 12 lbs my whole pregnancy, but I was very overweight to start so my dr suggested I only gain about 20lbs.

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
I am about the same 28 weeks. I am slowing down now with the gain. I am up 23LBS and had gained 8 LBS last winter before I got pregnant. I would not worry. You will prob gain more weight soon since your baby is only 2 LBS so far

Re: 28 weeks - weight question
I don't think I would be worried. Everyone is different. I think that you might go through times where you gain, and then times where you're pretty steady.
I lost a few pounds in teh beginning... then didn't gain, didn't gain... and then in about the last 4-6 weeks i gained about 18-20 lbs!!!
If you are concerned, you can mention it to your doctor. But I think it sounds normal
