Overweight moms weight gains!?

Question

I started off overweight and I am scared to gain too much! I was told to keep it between 7-11 and I'm scared with these last 12 weeks I'm not going to be able to control it. (I've only gained 5) How much have any of you already technically overweight mama's gained? I've been tracking calories and walking or biking inside when it rains. Just super nervous to gain too much! 😞

Answer

I've gained 30 pounds. I am also worried about gaining too much in third trimester… I go to the doctor tomorrow, I'm preparing myself for a lecture :( i've gained 8 pounds since my last appointment 4 weeks ago.

Answer

Remember that different doctors and different countries all have different guidelines, and they are just that - guidelines. Stressing will only make things worse (wish I could take my own advice haha). I gained 34KILOS in my first pregnancy, so am really paranoid the same will happen this time.

Juat to give you a comparison, these are the Australian guidelines I received for my state. 
BMI less than 18.5 - 12.5-18 kilos
BMI 18.5-24.9 - 11.5-16 kilos
BMI 25-29.9 - 7-11.5 kilos

I wish you the best of luck with the remainder of your pregnancy love.

Answer

I am obese. When I found out I was pregnant I was 2 lbs heavier then I am now. Thanks to my lack of appetite!  Tuesday I had gained 1 lb back. My appetite is back. I am not the healthiest eater so I'm hoping all goes ok I've had nothing but cervical problems in the 2nd trimester so I don't wait anymore problems. Especially with my diabetes test this Tuesday!  GULP. My BMI at last apt was 42!  I hear it's supposed to be a lot less!!!  So nervous. Ill be 26 weeks Monday.

Answer

Answer

Lost 25 pounds in the beginning (thank you loss of apetite). I'm seven months pregnant and have gained 9 pounds total. My doctor is happy.

Answer

I'm suppose to be between 15-25, and at 27 weeks I've gained 15.

Answer

I was told I should gain 11-25. I'm 28 weeks and have gained about 16 but I lost weight during the first trimester from being sick. My doctor said don't stress over weight gain. There are plenty of other things to worry about. Just keep up your exercise. Sounds like you are doing all the right things.

Answer

At my last appt (23 weeks) I had gained 11 pounds. They told me I should gain 15-20 so I hope I can still keep it under 20!

Answer

I'm obese and have gained far too much. By 24 week, I had gained only 12 pounds. When I went back at 27 weeks, they say I gained 10 pounds in 3 week. I haven't changed my eating habits, so I don't understand why the sudden weight gain. It's frustrating, but I think part of it is I've been retaining lots of water.

Answer

I lost 8lbs in the beginning and have only gained half of that back. So I'm down 4lbs. I'm hoping to be around starting weight at delivery! But I think you'll be just fine!
