I'm 18 weeks and have gained around 7 pounds (even though I only gained 2 in the first tri!!). I think I gained 10 pounds by 20 weeks in my prior pregnancies and now that I'm gaining around a pound a week I'm sure it will be the same. How much weight did you gain by 20 weeks?
-
Too much
-
I think 5-6 lbs? Maybe 7 at the most. I didn't tell work until 22 weeks so it was very little. But then I gained like 6-7 lbs in the following month. Second trimester was my explosion of weight gain and then I only gained 3-4 lbs total in the third trimester. I gained 23 lbs total.
-
A lot lol
But then again, I gained 40+ each time, and DS1 was over 9lbs. I make big people.
-
I think maybe 5 to 7 lbs? Ended up only gaining like 13 total though so I don't think I was typical. I had several weeks-long stretches of no weight gain and my care providers were slightly concerned, but the baby was perfectly healthy and a decent size!
-
Baby 1- I was +1 pound by week 21 (total gain 30 pounds)
Baby 2 - I was +9lbs by week 22 (total gain 30 pounds)
Baby 3 - I was +17lbs by week 22! (total gain 37 pounds, biggest baby who was 10lbs) -
I did not gain anything for either pregnancy in the first 20 weeks.
-
@Smurfette: hahaha. Same answer. At 38 weeks I've decided I don't want to know the number on the scale anymore.
-
By 20 weeks I think I had gained around 15 lbs and I started gaining a pound a week shortly thereafter (big baby for what it's worth).
-
I gained 20 lbs with my daughter by 20 weeks
I'm up 13 lbs this pregnancy and I'm 23+4. -
Pregnancy 1 - 12 lbs by 20 weeks (gained 35 overall, delivered at 41+1). started out a little too thin so that was probably a good thing!
Pregnancy 2 - up 7 lbs at 19 weeks. -
I gained 20 lbs by 20 weeks with my LO #1 - yikes! (she was 8 lb 12 oz at 37 weeks)
I'm hoping it's less this time because I'm down 3 lbs at almost 13 weeks, but I started out heavier this time.
-
I gained 10 lbs the first 20 weeks.
-
With LO1 I gained 20 lbs by 20 weeks and had gained 40 at the end. This time I'm being a lot more careful and was up 10lbs at 20 weeks. Hoping to stay between 25-30 for this one.
-
Between 10-15lbs each time
-
8lbs both times.
-
Zero. All three times. I gained 22-23 with each pregnancy even though they were all really big babies (10.1, 8.10, 10.12).
-
@oliviaoblivia: jerk! Haha just kidding.
Were you sick at all? I feel like I was able to ward off morning sickness in the 1st tri by eating all the carbs!
-
6-7 lbs.
-
5 lbs this time. I don't remember for last time, but I think it was about the same.
-
@T.H.O.U.: just kind of hungover. I've never thrown up from morning sickness. I also lose exactly what the baby weighs and then have to battle to lose anything more.
-
I was retaining water very early, so I gained close to 20 lbs by 20 weeks. It was almost all in my legs/feet. It was annoying because they would scold me about eating more carefully but I ate better pregnant than I ever did!
I looked like a cute pregnant woman up top and on the bottom I had elephant feet by 16 weeks. -
Maybe 5 lbs tops. Baby took everything she needed from me, and I lost weight everywhere other than my belly. I gained 35 lbs by the end.
-
@oliviaoblivia: I think part of my larger weight gain with my 3rd was knowing the weight came off pretty easily for me. Its just these last 5 lbs plus an additional 10 I would like to really loose that are being stubborn.
-
I gained 7-8 lbs by 20 weeks (24 lbs total).
-
I don't remember anymore. With my first it was between 5 and 7 lbs. I think with my second it was around 10. Then I exploded and gained about 35 more pounds in the second half of both pregnancies. Crazy how quickly that happens!
-
Pregnancy #1: by 23 weeks I was down 5lbs from vomiting. But then at 26 weeks I was up 20lbs! My doctor pretty much immediately had me checked for GD because 20lbs in 3 weeks is not normal.
Pregnancy #2: I'm 21 weeks and up 20lbs. This time around I had medications which helped with the vomiting but not the nausea. So I've been eating lots of junk to try and help the nausea (cereal, pasta, PB&Js, cheesy bread, etc.). Which is why I've gained so much.
-
Probably around 20 - 10 of which is all boobs. (the worst part about early pregnancy, other than the vomit!)
-
I think about 10 by that point, 25 total by the end. My biggest weight gain happened between 16 and 20 weeks, I believe.
-
This pregnancy about 5.5 lbs by 20 weeks. I grew very slowly until like 27 weeks and now I'm gaining weight a lot faster!
With my first I had gained at least 10 by 20 weeks.
-
@T.H.O.U.: the last five pounds have been sticking around forever! I'm hoping it just drops off after I stop BFing...that would be nice
BFing makes me SO HUNGRY, so hopefully my diet goes back to normal after.
-
I think about 15lb by that point? I don't remember exactly. I gained about 40-42 total.
-
Both times I gained 20lbs by 20weeks and 40lbs by the end. Luckily lost it both times. I was sooooo sick with both and despite vomiting the Only thing that made me feel better was to eat. I am pretty small and all that extra weight was so painful and uncomfortable.
-
By 20 weeks, I gained 10-12 lbs each time. And I ended at over 40! But I'm technically underweight and my body just did what it needed to do.
-
I lost 5 pounds in the first trimester because I was so sick, but by 20 weeks I gained those 5 back so I was back to my pre-pregnany weight. So nothing, I guess.
-
3.5 pounds. Gained 17 total (5'9" 130 pre-preg)
-
DS: by 20 weeks I was at least 15-20 pounds easy
DD: 20 weeks, 4 pound gain. She's being a gem to me! -
Just went back and looked at my completely bat-shit crazy Document where I tracked everything ("crusty nipples! kicked 6 times! hungry for Indian food! ran 23 minutes!") and I gained 10 lbs at 20 weeks but total only gained 20lbs.
-
@winniebee:
about 18lbs at 20 weeks with baby 1, with a total of around 50 lbs at 40 weeks
10lbs at 20 weeks with baby 2. total was 28 or so at 41 weeks, but I peaked at 31 lbs at 38 weeks -
@pachamama: hahahah i totally checked my same crazy type a lady document just now
BFing makes me SO HUNGRY, so hopefully my diet goes back to normal after.
