That is completely true for me. I ate whatever whenever. I have worked hard this time to not do that. I have gained 24 lbs as of yesterday for my 36 week appt.

Quoting Mrs Verdu:“ I think mine is mostly water retention since I haven't been eating THAT poorly, and no I don't have GD...so I can't blame it on that. I think it is just a WHOLE LOT of water weight...and boob, and baby!”
I'm hoping so with mine. I don't eat that poorly either (I'll eat fast food once a week or so ... but I'll go to Wendy's and get a baked potato instead of fries, etc.). I wasn't small before I got pregnant - 5'9", 180ish lbs. If I have a snack 95% of the time it's fruit or a granola bar or something. But I've gained about 60 lbs already at 35 weeks.
I can't remember what I gained with my other pregnancies but I know I never retained this much water (now my feet actually hurt when I put pressure on them). I gained a lot though -- and didn't totally get rid of it (4 pregnancies in 7 years) until my youngest was about 3.

I gained 65 with my first- started at 140 and ended up at 205. I was around 170 at 4 months PP and that was my hardest plateu. I didn't lose anything in a good way, though. Most of the weight that came off after 4 months was from drinking an excessive amount of coffee throughout the day at my job and just not eating. I got down to 145 before getting pregnant with my second and gained another 58 with him. This time I ate much better but wasn't diligent about it at all and didn't exercise (which I hate doing with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns). I maintained a 145-155 weight for two years- a size 12 on my 5'5" height.
During this pregnancy, I've been bound and determined to not gain the same amount of weight, mostly because it made the last trimesters much harder and because it's getting harder to just wish it away. ( ) At my 20 week appointment, I weighed 167 which is a 17 pound gain for me so far. I'll be happy with any gain under 40 this time and ecstatic to keep it to 30.

I weighed about 135 pre prggo. I've put on 52 pounds now. I eat healthy and drink mostly water and milk but I think i gained so much because I was VERY cautious about what I ate before and ate small portions and now I eat full portions and I'm not dieting all the time. I think before I was pregnant I was almost to the point of having an eating disorder. So now eating 'properly' my body isnt used to having to metabolize so much. My theory anways

Hi~With my first I gained 50 lbs!! I am 5'7" and went up to 190...I was a blimp=) mind you I gave birth to a 8 lb 6oz 21in long baby!! I lost most of it almost right away. It took a little longer cause I had a c-section but I was back in my normal jeans within a few months. It helps cause you probably wont have a lot of time to eat LOL! But it shouldnt take to long!!

I'm 5"6 and I was 135 before I got pregnant and now I weigh 182!!!! I'm only 25 weeks and it seems that most of my weight is in my boobs and my stomach. When people see me they think that I'm 3 months pregnant with a little girl!! They're so wrong... I just look at them and laugh and tell them that I'm carrying two boys and just wait for the surprised looks on their faces when I tell them.
