How many women gained more than the recommended weight?

Question

I was about 130 before pregnancy and I'm just shy of 36 weeks and I'm weighing 163. Apparently according to my height and prepregnancy weight I should END my pregnancy at 40 weeks being 165. Seeing as I'm two pounds from that but four weeks away.. I'd say I'm going to be "over weight" but I really don't feel like I'm over weight.. How much did y'all gain?

Answer

I started at 130 and am now 210 at 37w4 days. I'm very insecure about it and it has made me hate pregnancy. Turns out I'm a stress eater.

Answer

I'm 5'8 weighed 148 before and on the brink of 190 now 😣

Answer

I too was 130 I weigh 174.9lbs and  I will be 31weeks tomorrow 😫😭😭

Answer

Im 5'9 and was 150 ish when I got pregnant and as of today I weighed 186.4. So that's 36 ish pounds. And Im 31 + 2 weeks pregnant. C section due to medical issues is scheduled for feb 22  when im 38 + 3 weeks.

After seeing many threads like this I am CONVINCED its more normal and healthy to gain 30-50 pounds during pregnancy than the 25-35 I always hear and was personally told. Despite this I still feel insecure sometimes but this thread has helped me gain confidence once again!!! We are almlst done ladies and then it will fall off just fine :) remember too thst near the end you could be gaining water retention weight not actual fat so no stress!

Answer

5'2, 37 weeks gained 37lb so far 😣 i was really hoping to stay within the 25-35lbs range

Answer

At my 30 week appointment they told me exactly how much I had gained, despite my best efforts to NOT know due to disordered eating for most of my life. I gained 54lbs.. way more than the recommended TOTAL of 25-35...
But, I talked to my mom and she gained over 50 with all 3 of her kids. I do believe genetics plays a role here. And with my brother she weighed less coming out of the hospital than she did before she got pregnant! We also have a family history of big babies.. my maternal grandfather was 13 lbs! And I was my mother's smallest baby at 9lb and change (I always forget but it's on the higher end)
My dr even said to eat "rabbit food" for the rest of the pregnancy and then I could go crazy once my daughter's born..😂 he totally has that backwards,right?!

Answer

I started my pregnancy at 196. I lost 7 lbs during my first trimester. I'm 32 weeks now and weight 196. Smh

Answer

I've gained more but it doesn't look like it...which just confuses me. Lol. I'm like you though not WAY over....

Answer

🙋🏼 I've gained approximately 18kg (40.5lbs). I have just under two weeks left, so still have time to gain another kg or so yet. I used to beat myself up about it but ultimately it's just circumstance and genetics. My body will carry this baby however it needs to, and the extra fat I have gained during pregnancy (a lot seeing as I also lost a lot of muscle mass) will just help provide me with energy when I'm breastfeeding.
