Question for everyone regarding weight gain

My hubby has been pestering me about my weight gain recently. He thinks I haven't gained enough because, even though my belly is large, my face and legs have trimmed out. I actually look slimmer now (except for the belly and bust) than I did pre-pregnancy. At my appt. on Monday he tried to get the doctor to tell me to eat more.

At 28wks I was up 23lbs. If you add in the 8lbs I lost during the first trimester (after my first weigh-in), I'm at 31lbs total. My doc is quite happy with that.

With my singleton, I gained 20lbs through the ninth month then 10lbs in the last two weeks before I delivered for a total of 30lbs.

 

With the twins, I gained 65 lbs. in the 34 weeks I was pregnant. I gained TOO much...lol! My twins were only 8#6oz. combined...hahaha!

With my singleton, I gained 40 lbs. and she was only 6#13oz.

 

I followed Dr. Lukes suggestions and gained 25 lbs by 20 weeks (lots of double cheeseburgers and egg mcmuffins) and then by 32 weeks I had almost gained a total of 55 pounds. I did have pre-e so some of it I am sure had to do with the water and swelling. But I did have big babies for 32 weekers at 4#6 ounces and 4# 9 ounces.

 

150 lbs when I got pregnant, 225 the Friday before I delivered, one week later I was at 175. I figure I was carrying about 25 lbs of water by the end, and about 25 lbs of baby, placenta, etc. The rest of it took about 3 months to come off.

 

I delivered at 34 weeks with a total weight gain of 50lbs. I also had Pre-E

 

I'm at 25 weeks and have gained about 20 pounds so far. Actually I'm almost to my full-term size for both of my singletons (and I can tell in my maternity clothes ). My doctor is fine with it, but I still worry a little because it is HARD for me to eat most of the time--I went straight from debilitating morning sickness to squashed stomach and heartburn. I'm just forcing myself to eat as much as I can get down and looking forward to b/f these babies when I can eat as much as I need without anything in the way of my stomach.

 

34 + 4 days pregnant.

was overweight at beginning:

• 187 pounds at start
• lost 18 pounds due to morning sickness
• Currently 195 pounds.

So from whoa to go have only gained 8lbs.

Both babies are healthy - weighing perfect weights.... Doctors aren't concerned at all.

 

I am 34 weeks and have gained 24.5 pounds so far.

 

HA.. compared to everybody else I've gained alot... I'll be 35 weeks on tuesday and i'm pushing almost 70lbs...
the past couple weeks i've been swelling up... like my legs, ankels, and feet.
I'm actually pretty active and i don't eat alot of junk... but my doctors arn't concerned.

 

I gained 50 lbs.

I lost some weight in my first tri, gained 24 lbs by 24 weeks - without trying.

Just try to eat healthy! I did add a carnation instant breakfast every day to get added protein.

 

I never really had bad morning sickness and I am so embarassed to say that I stopped keeping track at 80lbs! I really did eat anything and everything in sight I was just so hungry. In all fairness I gained a lot of fluid weight at the end, everything was swollen.

 

I started out 177lbs or so when I found out that I was pregnant, and went in to the hospital at 36 weeks to the day weighing 226 lbs.
After delivery I walked out of the hospital weighing 196. After one month of breastfeeding I lost 20 more lbs. I had gained 49 lbs total and lost 50lbs after our girls were born.

Lots of love!

I have gained 9lbs since my first doctors appointment on January 14th. With my singleton pregnancy I didn't gain any weight until a month before I had her and I only gained 12lbs for the entire pregnancy. Doctor seems to think my weight gain is normal.

 

17 weeks pregnant and have only gained 1lb so far and the dr. is not concerned.

 

In the beginning I wasn't gaining any weight due to m/s. But at about week 12 I started to gain and gain quickly. I'm 19 weeks and have gained 17lbs.

 

Im a believer of dr luke too. I started at 112lb (im 5'4 petite) and went to 184- yah thats a whopping 72lb gain. But I was all belly and am now 4 weeks patpartum and weigh 138. I think its better to be on the big side when it comes to weight gain for twins.

 

I gained 14 pounds total, but delivered at 30 weeks. I was 130 pre-pregnancy and both my girls were 2 lb. 13 oz. at birth. My low weight gain was a concern prior to delivery.
