How much have you put on?

Question

I am I guess what you would call a "plus size" gal and I'm really trying to watch my weight gain because I'm already heavy set. I'm just about 4 months and have put on depending on the day 3 1/2 - 4lbs. For the last few days I've held pretty steady at the same weight. Is it bad not to gain anything?

Answer

12 pounds and I'm almost 19 wks. Started out with BMI at about 22-23 so doc isn't worried. I asked him how much I should gain/not gain and he was like don't worry about it. Haha

Answer

8 lbs and I'm 18 weeks

Answer

I've put on 4lb and I'm 19 weeks

Answer

They say in the 2nd trimester is when you should put on weight, but it all depends on your BMI. For instance, with my BMI it said I should gain about 15-20 pounds. Though, since in the first trimester I lost 10 pounds due to nausea and vomiting I add another 5-10 to that. You can always ask your doc what's the best weight! Best of luck :)

Answer

Talk to your doctor if you're worried, but mine said as long as you are eating healthy and throughout the day and baby's growth is on track he doesn't concern himself with the number on the scale. :) I am fuller figured as well. In my first trimester I actually lost 15 pounds (I had bad nausea/vomiting). And I'm just over 19 weeks now and have only gained 5 pounds of that 15 back. I hope that helps.

Answer

I was a size 14 before pregnancy(200 lbs). 19w4 and I have technically gained nothing so far. I lost 2 lbs in the first trimester and gain it back at my last appointment. Go Thursday for my checkup. Hoping not to gain too much weight either. Not really tracking or watching what I eat too much though. Nutrionist told me that they really dont want me to lose weight right now. But to gain 2lbs per month for the first 7 months. Good luck!!

I am 18 weeks tomorrow and would consider myself average size, but some might say a little over weight.  I am 5'8" and wear a size 10-12.  Anyways I have lost weight.  Like 12 pounds.  Haven't gained any at all.  I have a belly now and boobs are big but I can see a difference in my pants on my legs.  Much looser

Answer

I'm 17 weeks 2 days. I started off slightly overweight. I've only gained a couple pounds so far but baby is really active so I'm sure everything's fine.
