August mommies weight gain?

OH my goodness! I gained 6 pounds in the last 4 weeks. I feel so fat right now. The doc was happy though. Happy? Why? So far that makes 9 pounds. But I lost 14 originally so I guess it's kinda good but it didn't have to be almost all at once.

Your upset about 9 pounds?
Im due August 1st and ive gained a total of 30 lbs. Went to the doctor was 27 weeks yesterday and Ive already gained an even 30

you know what... they have not checked on my weight yet... they did my weight when i first went in when i found out and since then nothing...

im guessing they will check that later on though before baby is here

Ive gained 14 pounds already!! n im not due til Aug. 29th

Quoting malibucaz:“ you know what... they have not checked on my weight yet... they did my weight when i first went in when ... [snip!] ... first went in when i found out and since then nothing... im guessing they will check that later on though before baby is here”

they check my weight at every appointment. and i've been going in every 3 weeks since my first apointment when i was almost 12 weeks along.

i've gain 15 pounds,
but i have my next prenantal appt in 4 more hrs so we will see how many more pounds i've put on!!

I think people focus a little too much on weight gain during pregnancy. A lot of doctors no longer find the weight gain even corresponds with the health of your baby. If you are healthy and taking care of yourself whatever amount of weight you gain is the healthy amount for you. I don't even think anyone should worry, just stsay happy and healthy!
Of course if you have some sort of medical condition you should be a little more observant, like I think if you have gestational diabetes or something?

i gained 18 poundz so far and im due 8-22...but wen lookin ta me u cant even tell cuz im tall..so thats good for me lol

I gained 8 pounds as of last week but have lost 2 pounds since cutting out white bread from my diet (which sucked but I was eating way too much of it!!) So I am currently 23 weeks and have gained 6 pounds. I am terrified that the huge gains are coming soon!!

Hello, I get what you mean about the weight... it seems I have been obsessed with it ever since I found out about the pregnancy! I am due Aug 30 and am almost 23 weeks and have gained about 15-18 lbs so far and am totally freaked! I started out at 112 lbs so thats alot of weight to gain for me!! It seems no matter how healthy I eat, how active I am, I gain all this weight and my Dr is very happy with it as well! Dont ya just wanna smack them when they say that sometimes?? LOL But I agree with some of the others - as long as you and the baby are healthy I suppose the number on the scaledoesnt matter. Congrats on the little one too btw!

I'm almost 25 weeks and I've gained 12 pounds with 6 of that being last month! The doctor said it looks like I'll gain around 25 pounds but he still wants me to try for 35 because I was underweight when I got pregnant!

so i just came back from my appt and the doctor said i put up 3 pounds in 1 month so yeah he said its Ok, so now i've gain 18 pounds so far..

OMG i feel like i'm gonna freak out now that i've read your weight gain. My pre-pregnancy weight was only 88 lbs cuz I am so petite then and on my last appointment which was 3 weeks ago I was already 109 lbs. The doctor told me I've gained 6 lbs in just the last 4 weeks and that I should only eat balanced. So far the baby's weight/height was normal for his age. I'm worried that my small vagina can't puke out the baby.  I'm so scared!!!! help

I haven't gained much, maybe 15 lbs or so. I'm not concerned. Besides, if you're freaking out now just wait cuz you're only gonna get bigger! Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories also so don't worry!

Anyone making a birth plan? Or what? I dunno if I should bother...

Ive gained a total of 20 pounds! lol But Hopefully i wont gain 40 like i did with my first one =].! and im DUE august 2nd
