Weight progress?

Question

I’m 32 weeks today and weigh 162, a big jump from last checkup 😬. My first pregnancy my final weight on delivery day was 172 and I was really hoping to not gain any more than last time, maybe a little under. Do you think with the time I have left it’s doable? I have no idea why I pack on all my weight right at the end of pregnancy lol. 30lbs seemed reasonable though so I’d like to stick to it again 🤞🏼

Answer

I don't think you should add that stress of comparing this pregnancy to your last. I don't know how long ago the other one was for you but no matter what every pregnancy is different even for the same person, and even if your last one wasn't long ago your body isn't exactly the same as you were then. Just focus on being healthy. Even if you ended up weighing more in the end this time than last, some will fall away with having the baby, and the rest will follow with normal healthy exercise and eating (or with doctor or other expert if needed obviously; everyone's different).

Answer

I wouldn’t stress too much about it. I go to a practice of doctors and basically see someone different every time I go. My last appointment the woman doctor made me feel like shit for gaining as much weight as I have and when I went yesterday the guy I saw said my weight gain is perfect. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I still can’t wait to have this baby and start losing it tho I’ll tell you that lol

Answer

I also seem to gain faster and more at the end 😩 some of that I think is swelling too bc I’m super active and on my feet a lot by the end of the day I’m feelin it.

Answer

Baby starts to gain almost half a pound a week in the last trimester! Try not to worry. It may not be ideal for you, but the baby will be nice and healthy :)
