I was 244 when I got pregnant, went down to 238 for a bit due to lack of appetite, and am now at 258 as of last week. I’m 37 weeks.

Answer

Answer

I was 352 lbs the day I found out I was pregnant. I got sick a lot in the first trimester and well into my second and I am 33 weeks now and I am 339. Also was diagnosed with GD and have to watch my carbs and take insulin 4 times a day. Curious to see what my weight will be post-partum after they induce me around 38 weeks

Answer

I started at 265 when i got pregnant and ive actually lost 20 lbs. I'm 19 weeks and i didnt puke or anything in my first trimester. I know thats not everyones story but I feel pretty lucky. Plus the idea of 20 lbs disappearing when the baby is born makes it feel even better. I know alot of people say its not safe to lose weight like that but as a bigger girl its bound to happen.

Answer

With my first pregnancy, I started at 225 and ended at 238. I gained 10 in the first trimester (oops) and then didn’t gain again until the very end. I lost weight elsewhere in my body as my belly grew. 
We haven’t talked about a goal this time around. I had an ectopic earlier this year, so we’re still focused on confirming viability. But, my goal is to gain as little as possible. I started at 245 and in the last few days I’m down to 242 because food sucks right now.

Answer

I'm 28+2 and am 235lbs, which is still under what I was when I got pregnant because of what I lost being sick.

Answer

I started weighing myself because i started at 265. I'm now 16 weeks and I only weigh 247. I didnt puke during my first trimester at all I was just nauseous and my appetite has not come back. Ive been eating pretty healthy i think. Dont stress just relax try taking a 30 minute walk each day. That combined with lots of water and healthy snacks has done wonders

Answer

I started out at 228 and have only gained about 5 pounds I’m 21 weeks. My goal given by my doctor is 15 total.

Answer

I’m 29 weeks and am 5 pounds above my prepregnancy weight. I lost about 7 pounds my first trimester.
