Weight Gain

I know everyone is diffrent and the "average" weight gain is approx 25 pounds but just wondered how you guys are doing.

I am 19 weeks and have gained 8 lbs so far...is that a lot? I am not exercising that much - walk here and there - just dont have the energy so everything I eat is just sitting there...

I know its not about the weight gain etc etc and I am eating healthily - mostlyChat Icon but I am just eating EVERYTHING in sight....

Any advice?

Thanks.

Re: Weight Gain

Unfortunately, I don't think there's really anyway to control the weight gain because a lot of it just has to do with your body type and genetics. I ate really healthy this pregnancy and walked everyday for at least 40 mins. up until week 35, and yet, I've STILL gained over 40 pounds Chat Icon Then, there are women who eat McDonald's everyday, and don't workout at all and gain like 20lbs... so frustrating Chat Icon

Re: Weight Gain

At 15 weeks I had only gained 6 lbs. I go on the 19th when I'll be 24 weeks 5 days.....I'll post my weight gain then!


I am SO NOT excercising...I am on my feet all day at work, I walk the dogs....I'm beat and my feet hurt, so I put them up all night. It seems all the weight is belly, because a neighbor said from behind, he couldn't tell I was PG. Is that supposed to make me feel good????

Re: Weight Gain

I am 25 weeks and I have gained about 22 pounds.. I cant believe it really, everyone tells me its all belly, and alot of people tell me they cant even notice. But thats mostly at work, cause i wear scrubs. But when i wear street clothes people say i dont look pregnant from the back. I have to say I dont really exercise, unless you count what feels like 5 miles a day i walk at work, taking in patient after patient.. non stop for 8 hours only sitting for a 45 min lunch. Maybe thats where I am staying fit. That and i do lift hand weights at home every nite. Other than that, my feet are barking when i get home theres no way in hell i can get home and then go exercise. I just hope I dont end up gaining a buttload more in the next 3 months!!!!

Re: Weight Gain

I gained 65 lbs with my daughter. Everyone is different. I ate healthy, no junk food and I even met with a nutritionist my ENTIRE PG and I still gained 65lbs. I had gone to the gym 5-6 days a week until I was 5 1/2 months Pg and I was told by the Dr. to take it easy because I started spotting. Take my advise and enjoy being PG the weight does go away in the end. Best of luck.
