Weight Gain??
I went to the doctors yesterday and in one month I gained 10Lbs
I am so upset!
My doctor said it was not a big deal as long as I don't keep gaining like this for the rest of my pregnancy
I am 26 weeks and I have heard the last trimester is when you gain the most weight
the thing is I did not think I was eating that bad
my meals are bigger but I am not eating in between meals
is it normal to gain like this?
Do you girls have any suggestions on how not to gain to much?

Re: Weight Gain??
I am 27.5 weeks and gained 29 lbs! ETS: i go to the dr every week now, and I gained 3 lbs in one week.
I can't stand dr's that go over board, My dr hasn't said a word to me aobut my weight. I don't even eat bad at all!

Re: Weight Gain??
I am at 25 weeks and have gained 22 lbs and I gained 9 lbs since my last visit only a month ago so I just got the lecture and it made me feel really bad. I didn't think we were being very bad about our eating habits at all, but they told me I couldn't keep gaining like this. However, everyone else that I see casually keeps saying you look great so I feel like it's a really mixed message. I don't want to have to sit and watch what i eat for the rest of the pregnancy. It seems like a silly thing to have to stress over. I'd rather enjoy the rest of my pregnancy, but I don't want to do anything bad for the baby either.

I totally agree! People tell me i look great all the time, and when i tell them how fat i feel and how much i gained nobody believes me! i have enough to worry about, I know I don't eat empty calories, once in a blue moon i'll have fast food, cookies, icecream, candy, and I still gain, but I refuse to spend the next 2 months stressing about food, when i have to take care of this little baby, especially since now i am on meds and partial bedrest

Re: Weight Gain??
I was up 13lbs at my 21 week visit, and 9 of those were gained in one month.
I was a bit concerned by the big increase, but my Dr. wasn't (I think since I had the stomach flu right before my prior visit, and I lost a few pounds and then gained them back for the next visit).
Anyway, she thought my weight gain as a total was fine (even LOW) so far.
I wouldn't worry - I know there's a huge growth spurt at 5-6 months. You should gain about a pound a week going forward.

Re: Weight Gain??
My doctor said that if you gain 1 to 2 lbs a week during your third trimester, it's totally fine.

Same here. I am 25 weeks and when I went to see my doctor in January I gained 12lbs in 6 weeks. I was shocked. I've gained almost 30lbs and I can't imagine what I am going to look like in another 3 months. I am trying to eat healthier but it's hard. I can't even work out because my feet are are always swollen and I am always tired.

Re: Weight Gain??
I gained 10 lbs in one month too, but then the following month I gained only 3 lbs. So it can vary.

Re: Weight Gain??
My weight has been all over the place. Some months I gain a lot and others none or hardly at all. I didn't even gain anything until 16 weeks when I was up 1 pound. But the 2nd and 3rd trimesters I have really been packing it on!  My doctors still say that my weight looks good so I'm not concerned. I'll worry about it afterwards I guess.
