Wow - I just weighed myself!
At 23 weeks, I am up 13 pounds!!! I think I gained 5 pounds last week!!!!!!
Is that too much for where I am right now in my pregnancy?

Re: Wow - I just weighed myself!
Dont worry about weight. Seriously, I know you are concerned about it but heres a heads up on my experience. I gained much more after the MS. I had a total weight gain of 23 pounds and at times I did gain 3-4 pounds a week toward week 28-32...after that it starts to even out bc your baby is so big by this point and you can barely eat. I am 1 week post partum and lost about 15 pounds...I will find out today. Honestly, I feel great, I am looking maybe 2 months preggo if that. I know everyone has different experiences but dont be hard on yourself bc it really isnt as bad as you think. Nourish your lil one and then worry about everything else. I hope I helped some

thanks!!!
Well, thats the thing - I refuse to watch what I'm eating (aside from junk food, of course) and I am eating well - I am very happy with what I've been eating, and am not going to change anything even if it means I gain 100 pounds, because I want the baby to be healthy, I am just hoping that I DON'T gain 100 pounds!!! I am just concerned about post partum, not right now....

I'm 21 weeks and up 12. My book says for this time period, we should be up 10-15 for a total gain of 25-35. So you're in the perfect range. I also notice that I go in spurts. I'll gain 3 lbs in like 2 days and then stay that way for 2 weeks.

sounds GREAT really. you have 17 more weeks and 15 more pounds only puts you at 28 pounds [just under a pound a week...which is roughly what you should be gaining now until the end]. your dr. should've given you a range to gain [with my first i was told 25-30, i gained 28].

Yeah, I heard 25-35 is the "ideal" range, so you are right on target!

Re: Wow - I just weighed myself!
Perfect weight gain- I was up about 15 pds at 24 wks and now am at 30 pds at 36 wks. The doctor thinks I might gain maybe another 2 if that before I give birth. And I ate whatever and whenever I wanted and didn't worry about any calories or stuff. If you were low weight or good weight before, 25-35 is your target.
