They really seem to help with regulating weight gain. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520040 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:16:52 +0000 tororojo 520040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Funny how that works...</p> <p>@photojane: At least there is a sunny side to having a tiny bladder!</p> <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: At least you're not alone! Maybe it's water weight. Or maybe you just need more donuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520039 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:14:42 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 520039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 5 pounds here too :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520036 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:10:47 +0000 photojane 520036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette, @tororojo: I think the reason I haven't had any swelling or crazy water weight gain is that even though I drink so much water throughout the day, I pee every ounce of it out almost immediately! The curse/blessing of a miniscule bladder &amp; big-headed baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520035 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:10:31 +0000 Meridian 520035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Ugh, I'm 5' and fairly well-endowed... I don't need ANYMORE up there, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520033 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:09:15 +0000 tororojo 520033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I'm impressed by your donut skills, true story. Maybe I should go buy some and the weight will drop right off...</p> <p>@ladyfingers: Good luck! I go on Thurs. as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520030 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:07:19 +0000 tororojo 520030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: At least you're gaining your weight in the boob area! Don't think any of mine is going there. </p> <p>@Smurfette: I bought plain ole cran juice last week, but I'm sure it has tons of sugar. Have just been drinking a small glass each day because it's yummy. I do drink a TON of water (like...80 oz a day? I get so thirsty!) and lots of milk...I'm like a camel. They weigh a lot, too, huh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520017 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:57:37 +0000 ladyfingers 520017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll see on Thursday, hopefully just a pound :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-520012 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:56:32 +0000 photojane 520012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so surprised to have actually lost half a pound this week. I was nervous to get on the scale at my appointment this afternoon since I ate a half dozen donuts by myself this week (oh yes, I did). Baby has definitely grown, but my weight didn't... it's miraculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519968 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:37:42 +0000 Smurfette 519968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: That is what she said. Are you drinking regular juice? If so that could be why some weight gain the sugar. My doctor told me too I was probably drinking too much water, which can increase swelling and weight gain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519964 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:35:59 +0000 tororojo 519964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: Those are the fun weeks, woo hoo! Maybe I'll lose 5 before my doc appt on Thurs? (doubtful...)</p> <p>@Smurfette: I didn't know cran juice could help with bloating! Actually I have been drinking a decent amount of it this past week and wondered if it was making me gain weight. Now I'm stumped. It's probably just the baby growing gigantic + a reminder to lay off soda, but I'll ask the doc about water weight.</p> <p>@Bookworm: It is weird how much we have to think about weight! Too much, too little...definitely can be stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519945 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:29:39 +0000 Meridian 519945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm scared to weigh myself. When I checked last week, I had gained about 3 lbs in 2 weeks. And then yesterday I noticed that my favorite shirt that fit fine last week, is now tight across the chest!! Crap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519906 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:12:02 +0000 Bookish 519906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0! This is the first week I have *not* gained weight, so I'm really excited. I gained about 12 pounds in the first trimester, and now at 15 weeks am at 13. I'm SO GLAD it is slowing down!! It helps that I am way more active at work now that school has started back up. I was starting to worry that I was headed towards my mom's 60lb weight gain!! Don't y'all hate how much this stresses us out? Like we don't have enough to worry about!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519900 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:08:10 +0000 Smurfette 519900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: My fingers are really swollen today and were last week when I was at the doctor. But I don't think that the rest of me is. It could easily be water weight. Someone at work told me that she gained like 8lbs in a week during her pregnancy, she drank light sugar Cranberry juice and then the next week she was back to normal. I guess the cranberry juice flushed out all extra water. I hear you on the weight gain. It is depressing, but on the one hand, at 32 weeks I am doing better then most of my friends were. So I am hoping I can stay below 40, fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519889 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:03:52 +0000 tororojo 519889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm not sure...if it were water weight, do you think I would look visibly bloated? My ankles and feet look normal and my fingers are just a little bigger (judging by ring size) but don't look bloated. I'm taller than average so I don't think 35 lbs is a huge deal, but still I didn't envision gaining this much until the end! I just hope I don't continue gaining 5 lbs a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519885 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:02:27 +0000 blackbird 519885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The biggest gain i had was about 8 pounds in one week. All liquid. Bah. I haven't weighed myself in awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519881 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:00:31 +0000 tororojo 519881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: You totally made me feel better! Although you're carrying 2 babies so I think your gain is a little more justified. ;) This has been a weird week for me--usually if I go up a few lbs, I can drop it right back down by cutting out sugar, but I have tried that the past few days and been unsuccessful. Now that the end is nearing, I'm starting to think about having to shed baby weight...AAAH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519877 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:58:54 +0000 Crisark 519877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually lost 2lb but I'm not sure how. My guess is I was retaining water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519874 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:58:41 +0000 Smurfette 519874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Could it be water weight? </p> <p>I haven't weighed myself. I go back to the doctor next Wed. Will be 2 weeks between visits. I am hoping for only a couple lbs. </p> <p>But that was before my friend sent me home with a qtr of cookie cake and DH isn't home this week, so I am eating too much of it. I need to just throw it away but it is so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519866 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:56:09 +0000 Mrs. Blue 519866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughhh! I totally feel you on this. I gained 6 lbs last week, so this week I've been a liiiiitlle more careful. A couple of those dropped by the end of the week, so I think some of it might have been a fluke. I think I'll gain 2 this week based on where I"m at now. I really have to lay off the ice cream soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-have-you-gained-in-the-past-week#post-519853 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:48:21 +0000 tororojo 519853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gained 5 lbs in the past week. W.T.F. So that's about 35 lbs total of my allotted 25-35...too bad I have 5 more weeks to go! On the up side, I now have the motivation to cut out sodas and desserts! Anybody else need to confess? If nothing else, maybe my confession will make you feel better. ;) </p>
