Question

I started my pregnancy overweight. My doctor recommend I only gain 15 to 20 pounds. I can say that I haven't been watching what I eat and I haven't been exercising. I got on the scale this morning at 25+6 and I've already hit my 20 pound mark. Feeling super disappointed in myself.  I really want to do better. Anyone else put there who started overweight , how much have you gained?

Answer

I started out overweight with the same weight gain restriction.... I will say that early on, the weight gain was very slow but now it's packing on like crazy. I also don't work out (my job is enough of a work out...) and the baby is making me crave pure crap. So, you aren't alone... There's always time to make improvements! 😊

Answer

I started my pregnancy at 275 (i don't look it) and the doctor told me to shoot for less than 15 lbs, specifically because I have pcos. I am 28w and have only gained 4 lbs. 
When I started to gain a lot, was right when I had to take my glucose test and I failed miserably because I wasn't watching what I was eating and drinking a ton of Welch's(horrible for you)... I got 188 when the cutoff was 135.and that scared me. So I had two weeks to get my stuff straight before I had to take the 3 hr glucose test. I cut out pasta, bread, and sugar and drank nothing but water with lemon, and lost 7lbs in a week, just because of how I was eating. Its important, and you should try to eat right for your little one!

Answer

I started out around 240, I'm 5'9" and was barely a size 14 though. I'm 27 weeks 1 day now and I have only gained 4 lbs. I haven't really changed what and how much I've been eating. My doctor wants me to only gain 10lbs so I'm doing pretty well but I've also noticed that I'm so paranoid about gaining any weight in general. I get on the scale every day and freak out if I gain a pound. I'm pretty much all baby though.

Answer

I was 250 when I got pregnant, I'm 29 weeks and have gained 10 lbs, my doctor hasn't mentioned my weight at all but I did have to do an extra glucose test at 12 weeks and then the standard test at 26 weeks

Answer

I did. And at 25 I had gained 28

Answer

Yep, first pregnancy gained 15, lost it all a week after delivery and then some.  Current pregnancy have gained 12, 29 weeks with twins. When you are already overweight you have to watch what you eat. If I don't I can gain 7lbs in 3 weeks no problem.  Which isn't good for me or baby(ies).

Answer

I started out 187 & dropped down to 177 the 1st trimester. I had an appointment today & was 186....I'm almost 27 weeks

Answer

I started @ 278 and stayed that way until I hit 20 wks. Im 25wks and 5days @ 285. I have eaten healthy the whole time and found out at 14 wks that I had to start insulin. I am pregnant with a boy and dont really enjoy sugary stuff but I have a huge weakness for burgers. I just eat them without a bun and add a bunch of lettuce, tomato, pickles, and whatever else with some ketchup and a dab of mayo with a fork. Super yummy! And when i eat mashed potatoes I mix half cauliflower half potatoes and its sooo good! Also drink water all day except treat yourself to whatever drink you want at lunch. Also try replacing regular chips with baked carrot and eggplant chips. You can put whatever seasoning on them you want! 😁 hope some of those tips help.

Answer

I was 200 lbs when I got pregnant which is over weight for my height. I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum and lost over 50 lbs. I'm now back at 173. :( They haven't said anything about it but if I keep gaining weight at this rate I know they are going to.
