I'm currently 30 weeks so I cant' answer the second part of your question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920923 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 10:56:45 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1920923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was up around 15 both times. I gained 30 lbs with my first pregnancy and 25 with my second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920899 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 10:44:16 +0000 littleveesmommy 1920899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot recall what I was around 29 weeks but I did gain most of my weight early on for both pregnancies - likely around 25 lbs for DD1 and around 22 lbs for DD2. My midwife had no issues with my weight gain with DD1 but my OB for DD2 was not pleased I was gaining so fast especially since I wanted a VBAC, but I ate healthy and walked a ton so it didn't bother me. My weight stalled around 37 weeks for both pregnancies and overall, I gained 38 lbs with DD1 and 33 lbs with DD2. I started off both pregnancies weighing exactly the same but I was probably a little more active during my second pregnancy since I had to chase a toddler around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920797 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:44:32 +0000 snowjewelz 1920797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember for 29 weeks... I did gain more earlier, I probably already gained like 15-20 by then, but then I was diagnosed w/ GD at some point and I lost some weight and the weight gain stalled. I'm 34 weeks now and I think I'm pushing 30lbs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920796 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:43:30 +0000 Sophs Mama 1920796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think at that point I was up 6 or so pounds. I've only gained 9 pounds so far at 36 weeks. Everyone is different. I gained 14 pounds total with my daughter, and am on track to gain the same with this little girl. I was overweight to start though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920736 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:18:31 +0000 namaste 1920736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 weeks (almost 31) and I've gained 14 pounds total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920724 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:15:29 +0000 MrsKoala 1920724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 9 lbs. gained 28 by 40 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920720 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:14:49 +0000 catlady 1920720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not totally sure but I think I had gained at least 20 pounds by then, maybe more. I gained 35 total. They came on very fast in the last few months (about a pound a week in the third tri). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920669 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:59:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 1920669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO #1- I had gained right around 10 lbs. </p> <p>LO #2- I've gained 2 pounds at 18 1/2 weeks.</p> <p>My goal is to keep it under 25 total this pregnancy as I started off a little heavier than I did last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920652 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:54:05 +0000 LAZB 1920652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember, but I know that starting around 25 weeks is when I started gaining weight like crazy. I ended up around 40-45 lbs up, but was only 35.5 when I delivered, so it could have gotten really bad if I had made it to 40 weeks.<br /> I've started out with a slow gain again this time, hoping I don't start packing it on like I did last time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920610 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:40:35 +0000 catomd00 1920610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about the same I'd guess by 30 weeks, maybe a little less. I gained 20-25 lbs overall, most of which was in the last trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920608 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:39:02 +0000 charmed 1920608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far at 29 weeks, I've gained about 20lbs (+/- a few since I'm not positive what weight I started at).<br /> Hoping not to gain more than 10 more for the rest of the pregnancy, but with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up that will probably not happen :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920599 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:36:17 +0000 avivoca 1920599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had gained around 30 pounds at that point.

Then, at my appointment on 29+5 I gained 3.5 pounds in those two weeks. YIKES. So, I'll need to slow it down a bit ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920453 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:58:24 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1920453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea what I was at 29 weeks but at 38 I had gained about 45 pounds. All of it in the second &amp; 3rd trimesters &amp; it was all gone by about 8 - 10 weeks postpartum. So far at 15 weeks with my second I haven't gained anything. It's coming soon though I'm sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920448 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:53:32 +0000 BandDmommy 1920448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO #1- at 34 weeks I had gained 25 pds (I had LO at 34 weeks)</p> <p>Current pregnancy- at 34 weeks I've gained 18 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920447 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:52:33 +0000 hilary 1920447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I've gained 20+ at this point (29 weeks tomorrow). I don't mind the # so much since I seem to be carrying it well, but have started to notice lack of muscle tone. So I really want to make sure I'm doing some basic body weight exercises a couple days a week to tighten up a bit. After LO#1, the weight wasn't as much an issue for me but everything was so jiggly that it took a lot of work to feel back to normal. Hoping to avoid that as much this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920442 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:49:42 +0000 winniebee 1920442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first I think around 18 lbs at 28 weeks. I gained 30 overall and gave birth at 38.5 wks. </p> <p>For this one i started out 2 lbs lighter and I gained 18 by 28 wks and have gained 22 by 32.5 wks. Basically exact same pace of gain in each pregnancies and doing very different things. I'm a firm believer that unless you are totally pigging out or really not eating enough, your body knows what to do and gains what it needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920437 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:45:24 +0000 Pancakes 1920437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My experience this time with DD#2 was very similar to what @My Only Sunshine just described! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920435 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:43:36 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1920435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went back and looked at my pregnancy journal - I had gained 19 at that point. 29 pounds over all. It's weird because it's the only time in your life that gaining weight is a great thing! </p> <p>My weight gained per week peaked around 26-32 weeks. Once I passed 35 weeks I really didn't gain much at all (and I was eating my fair share of Dairy Queen blizzards). I hear that's pretty common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920421 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:25:21 +0000 FaithFertility 1920421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my last apt 10/17 I gained 35 lbs @ 31 weeks...I gained 11 of them over the last 4 weeks :/ but truly I feel great I am eating well and I think all women and pregnancies are different.....I also have bad edema in my feet/lower legs and midwife said that can contribute some extra lbs in water weight! I say as long as I'm healthy and so is baby..... bring it on;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920417 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:15:20 +0000 turquoisemama 1920417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gained 26 so far at 29.5 weeks... :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920415 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:13:26 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1920415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 29 weeks I'm not 100% site bit I think it was only like 15? I've gained like 40 total though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920413 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 06:11:38 +0000 lilteacherbee 1920413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had gained about 20 lbs by 29 weeks. Right around that time, I was diagnosed with GD and started eating healthier and I only gained a few more throughout the rest of the pregnancy. I gained 24 lbs total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920386 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 02:26:03 +0000 lamariniere 1920386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For LO1, starting at 10 weeks I gained one pound per week until delivery. So I was up 19lbs at 29 weeks and gained a total of 29lbs when I delivered at 39 weeks. </p> <p>For LO2, my weight gain was all over the place. I think by 29 weeks I had already gained a bit more than 30lbs (and probably close to 40-45lbs at delivery at 37 weeks). </p> <p>Gaining weight is a healthy part of pregnancy. Remember, you aren't gaining fat, you are making a baby and your body needs to gain what it needs to do it's job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-had-you-gained#post-1920378 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 01:07:15 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1920378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much weight had you gained at 29 weeks and how much did you gain overall (if you've already had your baby)? I've gained 14 so far and am really hoping to not gain too much more! </p>
