I will make this easy on everyone else.. I've gained around 58 lbs so far and I'm at 35 weeks.. ALOT I know.. (been having depression issues and such) Just curious what everyone else has gained so far and how many weeks you are! ( or if you arent pregnant and youve had your little one, how much weight you DID gain )
I gained 40lbs from first appt. at 6 weeks to I delivered (a little over 38 wks.). I have gestional diabetes that went undiagnose until 36 weeks (my first sugar test at 28 weeks was wrong). I also had TOOOOOONS of amniotic fluid (polyhydraminos) and my daughter was 8 lbs. 6 oz., so I dropped all but 10 lbs. within the first 2 weeks postpartum.

I gained 42 pounds during my pregnancy. I put on a lot over Christmas, and then slowly until I was put on bedrest for high blood pressure. Not getting any exercise but having the same apetite plus the water weight from the swelling. At 4 weeks I had only lost 25 pounds, though. Now I'm 10 1/2 months post partum and am 1 pound under my pre pregnant weight. Nursing ROCKS! :p I'm hoping to get to 160 by my daughter's second birthday. 35 more pounds to go!
I am one day shy of 32 weeks. I weighed in at 182 two days ago. My pre pregnancy weight was about 138. Umm....44 lbs. weight gain in 8 months. Whoa. BUT OH WELL! Ha, I am feeling just fine with it...and I don't look too puffy either! Which makes for a good combination : )
I'm 24 weeks, and I've gained exactly..... nothing! I was over-wieght to begging with though, and the baby is measuring exactly where she should be, so my Dr hasn't said a thing about it. I can't figure it out though... I am CONSTANTLY eating! Though my eating habits do tend to get healthier when I'm pregnant.


Tell the dr that you are gorgeous and there is no way he can tell how much the baby will weight!!!
1st baby: 25 lbs (delivered at 37 wks)
2nd baby: 21lbs (delivered at 37 wks)
3rd baby: 20 lbs (currently 31 weeks)
For some reason, I gain nothing in the 1st trimester (thank you morning sickness...jk) Gain about 20 lbs in the 2nd trimester and then a few lbs in the 3rd. Wierd I know but this 3rd baby is follow the same track as the 1st two babies.
