Weight gain issue

posted 6th Sep
OMG at 25w I showed that I gained 28 pounds. I dont know how the hell I am going to finish this pregnancy.

How can I conserve this weight?! I want to gain a max of a couple of pounds which will normally be there for me when I weigh in again.

Has anyone tried to stay on the weight so far and worked? How can I do that? I am terrified of gaining more weight!

i wouldn't get all worked up about it. your baby needs you to gain weight, and you can always go on a diet after your done breast feeding.*if your going to*

I'm scared of gaining any more weight too! I'm just watching what I'm eating and seeing how that goes! I gained 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks! The doc says its due to water retention; seeing as I'm really swollen! I'm 31 weeks 3 days and have gained 28 pounds so far. I'd love to keep it under 35, but I don't know how the heck thats gonna happen. Try not to worry so much; this is the only time in your life you can gain weight and not feel too guilty. Good luck!

I dont disagree, but do a bit as well.
My body will be full of stretchmark. I gor a couple a while ago, and I am terrified to become a whale.

Actually now is the time that your lil bit will be putting on the most weight... so it really isn't likely that you will maintain the weight you are at, nor should you try besides eating healthy and with in reason of proper portions beccause the baby needs those nutrients so that she grows well these last 15 weeks.. Just walk and try to stay active and in shape, that is about all you can do.. Good Luck!!

You really shouldn't worry about how much you gain. If you ask me it is kinda dumb to worry about weight gain during pregnancy. There is a reason you are gaining a lot of weight...your BABY needs it. You will be fine..once you have your baby then worry about how much you weigh.

No worries!

I am ok with gaining weight, but not this much. I gained weight before getting pregnant due to depression, but I feel so bad seeing myself so huge!!

I'm in the sameboat I'm 29 weeks and I have gained 23 lbs!!!! I can't figure out where it came from!! I don't have alot of cravings and when I want soemthing like ice cream I rarely eat it!! I have been really careful and have had to restrict my diet due to acid reflux! I feel like I am on more of a diet than when I'm not pregnant! I do think I also have alot of water weight though! I only gained 23 and 27 lbs with my others so I am freakin too! But if you BF most likely it will come off pretty quick. It burns like an extra 500 calories a day! Hang in there we'll get through it!

Well it's part of being pregnant, and I just look at it this way.. I wouldnt' be gaining any weight if the baby wasn't alive and growin.. so I just roll with it, I'll work it off when she gets here! Don't stress about weight there are so many wonderful things about being pregnant that I choose to focus instead...my husband thinks I'm still sexy,and I have no one else to impress..

I just reread what I wrote and it sounded kinda mean and I didn't mean it in a mean way lol. But anyways yeah just don't worry about it, I have gained a lot too. When I went in for my 26 week check-up the doctor told me that I have gained a total of 20 pounds so far..and my next appointment is on wednesday and I will be 29 weeks so we will see how much more I have gained! But yeah don't feel bad because I have heard of some people gaining up to 100 pounds during pregnancy!

Jenny McCarthy gained 102 lbs during her pregnancy.. and if she can lose it that much even with help.. you can lose 30-40 all by yourself!
