What was your 20w weight gain?

Question

Hi ladies ! So just some background, I had a horrible first trimester 🤢 and lost a little over 20 pounds. Now I’m five months and the nausea comes and goes but at least I got my appetite back ! Today for my doctors appointment I have only gained two pounds from the 20 that I lost. Is this okay? Doctor said baby is perfect and doing fine, it’s just everyone acts shocked with horror that I’ve only gained two pounds my entire pregnancy as if I’m starving myself. Which clearly I’m not. What was your guys 20 week weight gain?

Answer

Your family and friends would be mortified if they knew me. 😂 I’m 39 weeks and I have gained 5lbs. I never lost weight and had no morning sickness. I eat a ton and not always healthy— think McDonald’s, or milkshakes, fries, Chinese. Same thing happened with my son, it’s just the way your body handles pregnancy.

Answer

I can't remember for our oldest, but with our second I lost about 25lbs my first trimester and never made it back to my prepregnancy weight before delivery. I could barely eat with her though because I was so nauseous, had such bad acid reflux and it didn't help that her feet were in my stomach. I remember telling my OB and she was feeling around to check babys position and she was like "yup, that's where her feet are"  🙄😂

Answer

I’ve gained 3lbs and I’m 23 weeks my dr said that the weight you gain in the first 20weeks is what you’ll have to lose after the baby

Answer

I’m 20 weeks today and so far I think I gained about 4-5 pounds so far. If the dr isn’t concerned and baby is good then I think you’re fine.

Answer

Lost 25 pounds. Only gained 6 back. Baby was 7 pounds 1 oz and perfect. Was down almost 20 pounds from prepreg ar delivery

Answer

I was the same with my first and second. Lost 30lbs, and barely gained any back. My first son was 9lbs and my second was 8lbs. They were as healthy as can be. It’s crazy how our bodies know how to take care of them even though we’re found through a hard time.

Answer

21 weeks and I’m only back up 3 from what I lost in the first 14-ish weeks-almost 20 pounds total . So still way under pre-pregnancy weight. My doctor is not concerned about the weight at all-my baby is actually weighing in 2 weeks ahead. She always tells me to not obsess over the number on the scale, as long as baby is healthy and I’m healthy that is all that matters. Keep your head up, you’re doing great!! 
*my doctor delivered twins at 38 w and a few days, both boys were over 6 pounds and she only gained 19 her entire pregnancy. Everyone’s body is different. Baby will take everything they need and more from you, you will be the one drained and exhausted from them growing and taking extra calories instead of them suffering because of you not gaining any weight. Don’t stress 😊😊

Answer
