How much weight did you gain during pregnancy?

Question

Gaining more than I would like, but I can’t seem to control it. I am eating healthy meals, but retaining a lot of fluid. Wanted to see how many ladies had a similar issue.

Answer

I had pre-eclampsia with my first. Have the same symptoms with this one. A common symptom is extreme weight gain due to extreme water retention. I would ask about it. But if it’s not in your history it could just be what your body needs to sustain you and your baby. Remember “expected” weight gain is based on averages and inclusive data. 
You take care of you and that’s how it goes. 
I gained 50+ lbs with my first and lost 40 lbs due to water weight. All on what your baby needs. 😘

Answer

I am in exactly the same boat. I have gained 39 pounds at 27 weeks, but I eat healthy 95% of the time. I was even running still at 20 weeks (3 miles every other day) and I have still gained so much weight. 
But, I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring since week 12, cant put regular shoes on, and am puffy in my face as well. I am retaining so much water/fluid its insane.

Answer

Don’t let your doctor or anyone else make you feel bad about your weight gain. Obviously if all you were eating is garbage then that would be worrisome, but you’re eating well. Your body just puts on weight while pregnant. Some women have that and some don’t and for the most part, it has little to do with your diet. We’re all just very different. I’ve had friends who gained 50-60lbs and friends who gained 20lbs, and they all lost most of the baby weight within months of birth. And babies were normal weights and healthy. Don’t feel bad if you’re doing everything “right” and the result is higher than ideal weight gain. Starving yourself would be worse.

Answer

I gain 50 or so pounds every time ! I workout eat right and I gain it doesn’t matter at all. By my 6 week postpartum check I am always at my pre baby weight . I lose 30 lbs within a week of birth . Everyone responds differently to pregnancy hormones. Me? I retain fluid

Answer

I gained a total of 62lbs with my first pregnancy. This time around I'm 29 weeks & have gained exactly 30lbs my pre pregnancy pants still fit with a button extender and I only have about 10 weeks left so I'm feeling pretty good about it. Last pregnancy I couldn't get my pants over my knees & had to wear sweats & leggings.

Answer

More than what I wanted 😩

Answer

I’m right on track. I’ve gained 13 lbs at 29 weeks. As long as you’re eating well and exercising don’t worry too much!
