I'm at 30 weeks and have gained 27lbs! Guess I should put back the piece of cake that I just set aside for myself.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1199455 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 11:59:15 +0000 catomd00 1199455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>23 weeks today and up 8 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1197687 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:44:04 +0000 AmandaB8 1197687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 weeks and up 23 lbs. The strange part is it's all in my belly! I was never sick though, and I've been constantly hungry the whole pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1197418 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:14:12 +0000 spaniellove 1197418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: Aww, what a way for them to word it. :sad: Not your fault! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1197356 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:52:09 +0000 MrsRcCar 1197356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been really sick since pretty much conception. Now out at 22 weeks I have finally gained back a small amount of the weight I lost being so sick. I would wish the morning sickness I have ha on anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1197340 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:45:09 +0000 mrsmate 1197340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: of course weight gain is actually the goal. I'm sure even overweight moms are supposed to gain a little!</p> <p>I had an u/s today at 32+2 bc I hadn't gained any weight. On the report they wrote that the u/s was done due to "poor maternal weight gain". It felt like I got a D on a math test. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1196866 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 10:31:33 +0000 indi 1196866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't consider my numbers my "real numbers" until this baby meets the world. My girlfriend was measuring right on the same track as I am with her pregnancy a year ago, and then after 30 weeks she gained about 40 more pounds due to retention. So, while this thread is fun to see and compare, even comparing to yourself can be a trick because you juuust never know. Eep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195748 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:22:02 +0000 spaniellove 1195748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: @Mae: I'm supposed to be eating extra protein to counteract the weight loss from my seizure meds, so weight gain is actually the goal...it's just hard when I'm reading this and extrapolating to think I might need to be rolled around by the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195728 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:11:50 +0000 math.nerd 1195728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: Thank goodness for you ! I'm at 22 weeks and I've gained about 18lbs - with a steady increase of about a pound a week!!! Ack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195676 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:44:06 +0000 Mae 1195676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: nothing is wrong with you! You are probably already at a healthy weight. I lost but I was overweight to start off with. So even though I wasn't throwing up, I was eating less (probably closer to a healthy amount!) and that was enough for me to drop weight. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195620 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:12:58 +0000 mrsmate 1195620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I had crazy bloat early on, but accompanied by terrible nausea, so they cancelled each other out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195590 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:51:57 +0000 lemondrop 1195590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea- my belly and baby are measuring right for my dates, and that's all I pay attention to. Obsessing about the scale was not a good thing for me last time, so I stopped looking this time around. </p> <p>Weight posts make me cringe because everyone has their own normal during pregnancy. There is a lot of pressure in both directions- gaining too fast or losing weight and gaining too slow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195463 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:04:57 +0000 lavender 1195463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>24 weeks, at my 21 week appt I was up 6 pounds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195461 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:04:26 +0000 spaniellove 1195461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@calsmom: Don't feel bad...I'm up 1-2 lbs at 8 weeks and am reading this thinking, what's wrong with me for not having lost 5-10 lbs at this point? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1195456 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:02:35 +0000 futuremama 1195456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was right on track, but you're all making me feel bad.

Up 4 pounds from pre-pregnancy, but up 11 pounds from the first visit to my midwife at 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1193188 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 01:26:39 +0000 DigAPony 1193188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: ha! No way, no such thing as too many cheeseburgers. </p> <p>I started out overweight and was advised to gain 11-15 pounds total. I lost 11 in the first tri and have been gaining steadily since then, so I'm now at a net gain of +13. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1193158 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 23:07:15 +0000 ChitownRo 1193158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, are only the skinny minis posting on here? I am up 33 lbs at 38 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1193079 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:15:26 +0000 Running Elley 1193079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: Exactly.<br /> I started at a much higher weight than I started at with my first pregnancy. I gained 45 pounds that time and I started out really skinny. This time I've gained less than 20 but I'm only 5 pounds lower than I ended at with my last pregnancy. So technically I'm still realistically 30-35 up from where I want to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1193036 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:57:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1193036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: ya it is mind boggling. I thought I was average for gaining 25 and full term! I just can't stop with the donuts/nachos/lattes/curly fries. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1193012 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:46:38 +0000 mrsmate 1193012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: I agree! No one should feel bad about gaining weight during pregnancy, that's what's supposed to happen.</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I would love a cheeseburger but I can't eat very much before the acid reflux hits. For dinner I ate an apple, two rice cakes, and a bowl of ice cream in a span of 2hrs. I supposed I could nurse a cheeseburger over the same amount of time but the idea grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1193005 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:40:22 +0000 MrsKoala 1193005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Threads like these don't take into account where people started and other circumstances such as weight loss at the beginning due to MS/nausea. For example, I'm sure that my pre-preg weight is much higher than many of yours because I'm tall with a larger frame. So yes, I haven't gained a lot because I had a fairly high starting weight. No one here is a heifer or should feel bad about their weight. We are all different with different pregnancies and different circumstances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1192990 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:23:49 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1192990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ScarletBegonia: (hugs) when you're pregnant, you have to stop looking at the scale. I know it's hard after such an accomplishment, but as ling as you eat relatively good while pregnant, the weight will come back off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weeks-pregnant-and-weight-gained-1/page/2#post-1192982 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:16:17 +0000 Caly 1192982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: WTH is my thought exactly too!
