how do you respond to people asking how much weight you have gained?

im surprised that people have asked me this.....I always just respond that Im not keeping track. i thought asking about weight was sooo taboo....i guess all the rules go out the window if you're pregnant!!!

Depends who is asking and why. Sometimes I'll tell if the person has a reason for asking that makes any sense. Otherwise I'll just respond as though they were joking.

Re: how do you respond to people asking how much weight you have gained?

I really don't mind people asking me how much I gained, but only because I haven't gained a lot of weight. I'm 31 weeks and I've only gained 13.5 lbs. But I was very heavy before I got pregnant so I'm supposed to gain a lot of weight. If I was gaining more then I'm not sure if i'd feel comfortable sharing with the world.

Re: how do you respond to people asking how much weight you have gained?

I'm really packing it on. I'm pretty honest about it b/c a) it's obvious and b) who cares. It's really not their business, but I haven't had anyone ask yet that I thought would judge me or misuse the information.

I haven't really been asked too much but when I am I don't care. Maybe because I only gained one lb so farChat Icon

Re: how do you respond to people asking how much weight you have gained?

I don't really mind when people ask (I'm 27wks), usually I just say "I don't know 4...5..hundred pounds" because I really don't know & I feel HUGE!!!!!

This is me as well. I discuss it with people but don't go into actual numbers. I have gained a lot of weight and most in the end of second trimester. Close to 50 pounds!!!! UGHH, I can't even type that without stressing about it! I only have a few weeks left (32 weeks now) but have to say I cannot wait to start losing. I was in very good shape and thin to start so this has been very difficult for me mentally, although I know it wil lbe worth it a million times over!

I haven't been asked that, but I would be highly offended if someone did (unless it was my mom or DH) Not sure how I would answer.

Re: how do you respond to people asking how much weight you have gained?

I just say more than I should have at this point. I will not just tell anyone my weight gain. It is not their business and I find it weird people have the nerve to ask this question. They would never ask me that if I just gained weight without being pregnant.

Although I've never been asked that question, I'm pretty open about my weight gain. Most people don't believe me when I tell them how much I gained (I gained 60lbs w/DD) and at 22 weeks, I'm up approx. 30lbs with DS.
