Gained 26lbs in 26 weeks!!!!

Kate

Baby #3 and I have gained 26lbs in 26 weeks. Ugh. I was 141 at 5'5" pre pregnancy this time (up almost 15 lbs from where I normally am) and now I feel enormous!!! I suffered from HG until 20 weeks and the only thing that made me not feel nauseous was to eat (tried 4 diff medications and was hospitalized once for dehydration due to excessive vomiting). Also due to being so sick I basically laid on the couch 24/7 for 4 months. I am finally feeling so much better but am just so freaked about the weight gain.

I only gained 28lbs with my first pregnancy and 44lbs with my second (same thing super sick) and was able to lose all the weight breastfeeding in 6 weeks with first and 3 months with second. Just scared that is not going to happen this time. Seems like all the posts on here talk about losing weight while pregnant or only gaining like 2 lbs. Am I the only one gaining this much weight? 😭
