Weighing during pregnancy?

Question

Who weighs daily during their pregnancy? Just curious. My husband hid the scales from me a few months ago ..(I had issues,  ok? 🤫🙄) 
To be honest I know I’ve gained because my old pants don’t fit anymore. Its like all the weight went to the butt and thighs during this pregnancy. I guess all I can do is keep eating healthy and working out. 🤷‍♀️  
Anywho, 5 months pregnant now and wondering if I should weigh to keep tabs on everything. What are y’alls experience? Team scale or team freedom? Lol

Answer

I only weight myself at Drs office. I’ll worry about it after the baby is here lol

Answer

Your doctor will tell you if they’re concerned about your weight gain (or lack thereof). I’d say if you had issues, don’t tempt yourself. You’ll inevitably see the numbers go up and even if it’s perfect for baby, you might feel bad about it. I haven’t weighed myself at all and my doctor told me at my last appointment I needed to up my weight gain—I thought I was gaining a ton. But the point is, he told me, I made some changes, no harm done. 👍🏻 if you’re seeing your OB monthly like normal it’s nbd.

Answer

I weigh myself once or twice a week. I always way on thursday, which is my start of a new pregnancy week, and sometimes on Monday too. before pregnancy I used to weigh every day but my weight fluctuated so insanely much during my pregnancy (I'm talking gained 2 pounds one day and then lose them again the next when my weight has always been pretty consistent before pregnancy) that I found it pretty pointless so stuck to weekly.

Answer

I have decided not to be weigh for the duration of my pregnancy and my midwife agreed. I don’t feel like I need to know the exact number I’m just focusing on feeling good, keeping busy and having a balanced diet.

Answer

Team freedom!

I was a Kayla Itsines BBG freak before the baby! I felt like I was in a good place to get pregnant but my boobs are now DD's and I have chub rub in the heat.

Your body naturally gains weight when you're pregnant and you crave carbs because your baby needs it.

Give yourself a break for 9 months (without going overboard obviously) and go back to it 3 months after the baby is born :).

The doctor weighs me at every check in and I have a mini freakout, but I've only gained 5 kgs so far at 20 weeks and he's happy :)

Answer

I weigh every few days.  I wasn't gaining enough in the beginning and my doctor and husband were worried, and due to other digestive/weight issues pre-pregnancy they wanted a more detailed weight history. Now that we got it all sorted out, I don't have to track but am still in that mind set. However, if it any point I start changing my habits because of the numbers on the scale I would put it away. I go every 2 weeks to thw doctor now anyways so he would let me know if there was a problem.
