When you're that big you can really retain a lot more water. I gained 35 lbs total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366549 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:33:05 +0000 raintreebee 1366549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I was up 12 pounds at 20 weeks. I am now at 35 pounds at 37 weeks. I feel as though my eating habits are about the same as pre-pregnancy, and I work out 6 days a week. So I have come to accept the fact that my body is just going to do what it is going to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366494 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:16:19 +0000 polkadots 1366494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO #1 I gained a quite a bit the end of my 1st tri and all of my second tri. I remember at 25ish weeks my Dr. told me I need to slow down my weight gain. I ended up gaining 45ish pounds and it was throughout my entire body. Felt pretty good this pregnancy.</p> <p>with LO#2 I had gained 3lbs by 18 weeks. At 21 weeks, I'm not sure what I'm up. The Dr. told me I needed to gain more weight. I've only gained in my belly and hurt quite a bit more this pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366480 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:12:49 +0000 Rockies11 1366480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was up 20 at 20 weeks. As a formerly petite fit person who never gained a pound no matter what I did! Don't feel bad about 12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366391 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:44:21 +0000 spaniellove 1366391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: @mskeee: I agree that it may not be all that related to how much you eat. I'm not eating that much lately with my nausea and aversions and still managed to gain 3 lbs in the past week and a half. So I'm up 12 lbs at almost 20 weeks. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366358 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:34:09 +0000 Amelieisme 1366358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my first pregnancy, I steadily gained 1lb/week until the second tri when my weight gain really sped up. Luckily, it slowed a lot in the third tri so I didn't gain so much in the end. I was probably around 40 lb total gain at the end, but with the trajectory I was taking, I was worried it was going to be like 60! I lost it all though in a few months pp (with some work). Don't get too worked up about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366330 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:22:08 +0000 Rockies11 1366330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't know how much preg weight is connected to eating. I had severe nvp and was averse to most foods, and I ate whatever I could manage, but it was under the recommended calories and I gained like a boss. I put on 5 pounds in the 3 days after my BFP! I gained a pound a week throughout (even in the pound a month phase) but it would be that I would weigh the same for weeks, and then all of the sudden overnight I would gain 5 pounds! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366309 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:14:55 +0000 artsyfartsy 1366309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to add to my previous statement and mention that I have not stopped gaining weight!!</p> <p>I'm even eating so much less (appetite loss I assume from being so big) and I'm still steadily climbing the scale. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1366233 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:53:48 +0000 spaniellove 1366233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs tartan: Aww thank you!

The short version of our story is that it took us 19 cycles, 3 losses, 3 IUIs, and 1 IVF although we never got pregnant through IUI or IVF. If you want to know more of course I can wall you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1361389 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 11:58:44 +0000 Mrs tartan 1361389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I've always wanted to ask your story?

It's been at a pretty steady rate though... I'm hoping to try and keep it under control... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343612 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:46:08 +0000 Dandelion 1343612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With S, I lost weight until 20 weeks, and then slowly gained it back, plus 10 more by the end.</p> <p>This time I didn't lose or gain in the first half, and I'm now +6 at 28 weeks. I eat like a cow, so I'm now sure what's going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343611 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:46:03 +0000 mlm2934 1343611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm 13.5 weeks, and didn't weigh myself until 2 weeks ago, and had gained 10 lbs :/ not off to a good start! I was on pelvic rest and hadn't changed my eating. The past two weeks I haven't gained any though since I was able to start light exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343605 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:44:33 +0000 MapleMoose 1343605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained a lot of weight in the 2nd trimester. It tapered off in the 3rd and I even ended up losing weight towards the end. Sometimes our bodies just do what they need to I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343603 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:42:53 +0000 Ree723 1343603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both pregnancies I have gained nearly all of my weight in the second tri. It started coming on around 13/14 weeks and let up around 28 weeks with very little coming on in the third tri.</p> <p>I can't remember specifics of my first, although I know I gained 32 lbs total and was up around 20 lbs at 20 weeks. This time, I gained 20 lbs between 13 and 24 weeks, most of it coming in spurts of three or four pounds in a week, followed by a plateau, then repeat. I'm currently 37 weeks and up 28 lbs, not likely to gain much more, if any at all.</p> <p>We all gain our weight so differently and that recommended weight gain chart is really to be taken with a grain of salt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343295 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 17:07:08 +0000 LovelyPlum 1343295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Immediately! It slowed around 22 weeks or so, but then from 24 to 26 weeks, I gained 5 pounds :( Granted, that was Christmas, but still... I'm up 31 pounds at almost 28 weeks, and I don't like it. But I'm eating healthy (for the most part), walking and/or doing yoga when I can, and that's about all I can do. It's so hard not to worry, though! </p> <p>FWIW, my glucose number was 80, so I passed. I'm just trying to try to make good choices. I hope you pass, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343261 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:54:27 +0000 artsyfartsy 1343261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: LOL I went to my first dr appt not expecting to have gained any, but had already gained 4 pounds by 6 weeks. After that I avoided a scale like the plague. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343251 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:52:07 +0000 spaniellove 1343251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I should stop weighing myself...I've been weighing myself at least twice a week, like that's going to block the weight gain or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343212 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:44:44 +0000 lilyann 1343212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had GD and gained most of my weight in the 1st and 2nd tri (40 lbs total at 40 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343186 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:39:58 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1343186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just over 16 weeks, and have already gained 14 lbs. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343172 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:37:50 +0000 artsyfartsy 1343172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only weighed myself at the doctors office every month. During the first tri I gained about a pound a week. I was 4-5 pounds heavier at every visit. At 18 weeks I had gained 16 pounds. Then during the rest of my second trimester I gained about 10 pounds a month! At my 32 week visit I was up 50 pounds, but it seems like I've stopped gaining now because the last weigh in was only 2 pounds more. I'll guess I'll have to see at my 35 week appointment on Thursday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343159 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:34:52 +0000 delight 1343159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 40 and it was all in the 2nd half. I lost 10 pounds in the first 16 weeks, gained that back quickly when I felt better, then put on another 40 starting week 20. It all came off quickly tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343156 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:33:31 +0000 Mamasig 1343156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 40 pounds with my 1st pregnancy. It was a pretty steady gain throughout from what I remember. I didn't have GD. </p> <p>With this one, I'm up around 13 pounds at 21 weeks. I think I'm gaining slower this time but I'm sure I'll catch up at end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343107 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:24:42 +0000 MrsKoala 1343107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine all came after 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-did-you-gain-your-pregnancy-weight#post-1343069 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:17:40 +0000 Boheme 1343069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A pound a week til my second tri where I picked up speed.
