I was diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks and then gained nothing in the third tri - making my overall gain 18lb. I lost 10lb of that in the delivery room (almost 6lb was baby) and at 3wks pp I'm only 2lb over my pre pregnancy weight (but I still have a pregnant looking belly). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1012085 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 02:33:38 +0000 sandy 1012085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was definitely up 20 lbs by 20 weeks...I gained over 50 lbs during my pregnancy :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1012083 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 02:30:25 +0000 FlyingSquirrel 1012083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 19w, I'm up about 8lbs...almost all in the second trimester. I'm really not eating much more than I was pre-pregnancy (and during first trimester I was definitely not)...but my body's just holding onto it somehow. I'm still working out regularly, though at lower intensity and it ends up being fewer days a week (generally 4 days instead of 5-6). None of these changes could account for how quickly I'm gaining though...except possibly that I'm eating more carbs than before (trying to change that now that nausea has finally abated in the last couple of weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1004991 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:50:43 +0000 LaineysMom 1004991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4, but i definitely made up for it the last 20... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1004907 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:11:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 1004907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was up 12 pounds at 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1004881 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 16:53:12 +0000 lawbee11 1004881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 20 weeks I was up 8lbs.

I'm an overweight woman, so I think my baby is just living off my fat stores at the moment :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1004053 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:20:37 +0000 PurplePeony 1004053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my appointment yesterday (20w5d), I was up 8.8 pounds. My midwife said to aim for about 10 pounds gain at 20 weeks, but they seemed happy enough even though I'd gained a bit less. I was definitely happy that I hadn't gained too much because I've unfortunately been eating like crap the past couple weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1003847 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 11:23:37 +0000 lamariniere 1003847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 21 weeks and up about 10ish pounds.

I gained 4 during my first trimester since I never had any morning sickness and it was pretty steady from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1003740 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:46:55 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1003740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last 2 weeks I've suddenly gained 10!

Turns out, I didn't get morning sickness (thank goodness), so I slowed my roll on the food. I was forced to gain weight in my 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1003517 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:52:26 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1003517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang!

I was diagnosed with GD at 18 weeks, and that pretty much stopped any weight gain I could have potentially packed on in those 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-during-first-20w#post-1003504 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:49:43 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1003504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at about 10 pounds by 20 weeks.
