Weight gain?!

Question

Hi. I'm 27 weeks today. I have hypothyroidism. At my 6 week appointment I weighed about 150lbs. Now, at 27 weeks I weigh about 175. I'm so down and depressed about it. No matter what I eat or how much I walk i just gain weight :.( anyone else have this issue?

Answer

I'm 36 weeks and have gained 60 lbs.  I don't eat any differently than I did before getting pregnant, if anything I'm eating healthier.  I just keep gaining.  I say as long as the baby is healthy than just go with it.  Don't be to hard on yourself, you've already got enough going on with your body.

Answer

I gained weight fast (I was 130 before pregnancy, 175 at the end of second trimester) but the last three weeks it's tapered off. I'm still around 175, which is over the average or whatever. Different bodies react differently. Keep being healthy and it'll be fine.

Answer

I was 160 when I got pregnant and 185 now at 28 weeks. Feel big half the time and nervous about gaining more. Trying to maintain and walk more, lower sugar intake.

Answer

If you have hypothyroidism has your doctor talked to you about your diet? Some doctors will just put you on hormone therapy and call it a day but there are right and wrong foods to eat when you suffer from low thyroid levels.

I have Hashimoto's and with a proper diet I've not only avoided any excess weight gain but I've also been able to keep my thyroid levels from getting low.

For example, you shouldn't be eating anything with gluten.

Answer

I'm hypo too and gained 60lbs w my first. I'm 17 weeks and gained about 17 lbs. I'm hoping to only gain 40 this time around. Are you getting your thyroid levels checked every month?
