I just didn't have time to go to the gym with my work hours. Everytime I'm out of breath, I think it's because I'm out of shape. I try to remember that it's a known pregnancy symptom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hg-mamas#post-2205996 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 20:21:49 +0000 MrsH 2205996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: thanks! My normal doctor asked me if I was exercising and I was like hell no I'm just trying to survive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hg-mamas#post-2205655 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 16:15:48 +0000 Rockies11 2205655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: oh I should add - I have had two HG babies, and despite totally horribly bad diet and sometimes weeks without any food intake to speak of, LO #1 was 6lbs 1oz, and LO#2 was 8lbs 3oz, so the lack of food had no impact on baby. I, on the other hand, was not in good shape, especially after the second one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hg-mamas#post-2205600 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:13:04 +0000 BSB 2205600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told at my 16 week u/s that I was suppose to gain 20 lbs by 20 weeks. I had a 18 week u/s and nothing was said about my lack of weight gain. I think I was 3-5 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. </p> <p>By 20 weeks, I was only 6 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. Though, OB said I was closer to 10 lbs over. They might have used a weight during my HG where I was 8 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight. </p> <p>Anyway, I asked my OB at 20 week appt and she said she wasn't worried. She said both babies are doing well. I was so relieved to hear that because I was concerned I was hurting my babies by not gaining weight and still having nausea. On good days, I try to eat a little more but those bad days usually sets me back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hg-mamas#post-2205294 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 12:25:51 +0000 dc yoga bee 2205294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she said the baby will get what she needs. That being said, my baby was only 5lb 14oz, but still healthy and ready for action!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hg-mamas#post-2205168 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:50:32 +0000 Rockies11 2205168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't gain weight at all until 20 weeks, then went up 10 pounds, relapsed at 28 weeks and lost it all, then from 30 weeks onwards, I gained steadily. They do do a couple of extra ultrasounds in the third tri to make sure growth is on track at my OB's office. I had one at 32 and one at 36 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hg-mamas#post-2205117 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:18:27 +0000 MrsH 2205117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For ladies who have gone through a pregnancy with hyperemesis gravidarum, was your OB ever concerned with lack of weight gain?</p> <p>I'm 34 weeks and weigh the same as I did at conception. I've had some weight fluctuation in there with losing weight from bad weeks/months and then gaining on good weeks but overall haven't gained any. At my last checkup she mentioned that I hadn't gained any weight over the last month and that this is the point where a half pound weight gain a week is typical. She doesn't seem concerned about the growth of the baby. </p> <p>Just wondering what you all experienced/if your Drs were concerned. </p>
