I guess I wasn't really "worried" about this, just thought it was strange and didn't make any sense. But oh well.</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: My scale is actually super precise, (sometimes annoyingly so. It shows down to the .2. I've obsessed over a few ounces gained, (pre-pregnancy), many times. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767922 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:24:34 +0000 Rocker2014 1767922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a super precise scale (too precise!) and my weight gain has been exactly the same, my doctor said that was completely normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767889 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:05:19 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1767889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would guess its that your scale isn't perfectly precise. So maybe each day you're really gaining .2#, but the scale rounds up...</p> <p>Also, the first tri was when I gained the quickest, since I had to eat to not be sick! Everyone is different :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767885 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:02:56 +0000 psw27 1767885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't weighed myself at home, just at doctors appointments but I think as long as you aren't gaining an excessive amount it doesn't matter how it happens! I gained 20 lbs in the first 24 weeks but I haven't gained anything since.... Don't worry unless you gain an excessive amount overnight because it is a sign of preeclampsia I think. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767883 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:01:31 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1767883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's how it is for me too. Nothing to worry about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767877 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 13:56:22 +0000 winniebee 1767877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't know b/c I didn't weigh myself daily....but I do know that in the second tri I would weigh myself at the gym and wouldn't gain any weight for a few weeks and then would gain a few lbs in a week.</p> <p>With both pregnancies I gained 5 lbs in the first trimester. With my first I gained 30 overall and I'm guessing it will be about the same this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767773 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 13:07:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1767773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always gained weight in waves. I would go 2 months without a pound and then 8 pounds in a month. My doctor said it was fine because I was still gaining okay. My sister gained the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767475 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:06:24 +0000 LBee 1767475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do that too! I'm 35 weeks and it's still happening. As long as your aren't gaining a ton overnight (like 5 lbs), I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-weight-gain-pattern-during-pregnancy#post-1767468 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:03:49 +0000 Meowkers 1767468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I don't know if this is weird or not and I wanted to get others' experiences with weight gain during pregnancy. </p> <p>I weigh myself every day to keep track of my weight. My doctor advised me that the first trimester I shouldn't really gain weight and after that one pound per week on average is what I could expect. So far I'm right on "schedule." But I notice that instead of gradually gaining the pound over the course of the week, I'll be the same exact weight for days and then in one day gain a a whole pound! It's been like that since I hit the second trimester. My weight chart looks so weird because it has these massive spikes as opposed to a gently incline.</p> <p>Is this weird? </p>
