June mommies-weight gain

So the 1st 16 weeks of this pregnancy I had gained NOTHING....not an oz.

And today I am up about 12 lbs (22 weeks) so 12 lbs in 7 weeks Im sure this has something to do with the fact Im starving all the time...

It was so hard to lose the baby weight from #1-I gained 50lbs (I did do it, but it took some time and lots of hard work)

This time I really wanted to keep weight gain at a min. With 17 more weeks to go, and watching how fast Im currently putting on the lbs, Im starting to freak out.

Where is everyone else at?

Re: June mommies-weight gain

My 1st I gained slower in the beginning but really sped up in the end and gained about 40lbs (but it was all water my OB thought b.c I lost it by the time I left the hospital).

This time so far I am yo-yoing between gaining 1 lb and staying at my pre-pregnancy weight (it seems to be up 1 after I eat something with salt like chinese food). But keep in mind that I'm overweight to begin with.

Being up 12 lbs sounds like you are about where you should be.

I'm about to make you feel better about yourself...ready??

First trimester I think I went up about 9lbs. (let me add that I've had NO m/s whatsoever) Today I'm 22 weeks and I'm up 23lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I can't believe how much it has piled on as I hit the second trimester!! (but when I really sit back and think about it, it does make sense cause I'm always hungry now!) I was pretty thin when I first found out I was pregnant so I don't know if that has anything to do with it....but I'm definitely not so thin anymore! lol

Re: June mommies-weight gain

I am up 8 lbs total..but feel starving all of a sudden.

Re: June mommies-weight gain

My first trimester up to about my 14th week, I lost 7 pounds due to morning sickness, now I’m almost 22 weeks and have gained back the 7 pounds plus an extra 3, so my total gain weight so far is 10 pound in the last 8 weeks which is very similar to your situation. I started getting very hungry in the last few weeks, which did not happen to me at my first pregnancy, for which I did not have a good appetite even after morning sickness subsided

Re: June mommies-weight gain

I had a rough 1st trimester (AM Sickness, PM Sickness off and on, the loss of my gram and the loss of my mom).
I gained Nothing!
Then got struck with the stomach virus.
So far, according to my scale here at home, I'm 20w 4d and up 5lbs.
I am starving these days though and reaching for the carbs!
I go back to dr. Tues night. We'll see what their scale says.
With DS I gained 32lbs total. It was like all of a sudden, BAM I popped!

Re: June mommies-weight gain

As of my 20 weeks ob visit I was up 10lbs. I am now going on 23weeks and go back to the dr. next week, so we will see then..

Re: June mommies-weight gain

I'm 23 weeks and 3 days and up 17 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.

Re: June mommies-weight gain

i was plus sized before pregnancy and gained 6 pounds over the course of the pregnancy.

At my last OB visit - i lost 3 pounds...(likely because of the GD diet).

I'm not supposed to gain more than 15-20 pounds TOPS - so i guess i'm okay.

Re: June mommies-weight gain

I'm up 22 lbs at 22 weeks 3 days

Re: June mommies-weight gain

20 weeks and now back to PP weight after losing about 5 lbs during the first tri.

Re: June mommies-weight gain

Well I'm a May mommy but I'll answer anyway. At my 24 week visit, I was up 4 lbs total. I'm really happy about that since I was overweight before PG.

Re: June mommies-weight gain

I'm 20 going on 21 weeks and...I think I'm up 15 lbs from my pre-preggo weight.

I'd like to say it's all in my boobs- they're GINORMOUS!

Re: June mommies-weight gain

I am up abou 18 pounds ( I am just guessing bc I was up 16 at my list visit, I don't weight myself in between) at 23 weeks.

Don't worry. This is the month where people really pack it on. I have even heard that you can gain a ton of weight in the 5th and 6th month and not so much every other month.
