Weight gain?

Question

Anyone super worried about weight gain?! 😭 I am the heaviest I have ever been at 165 and I am terrified of getting close to 200.. I am 5’1 and even while pregnant I’ve never reached over 135.

Answer

I’m the lightest I’ve been while starting a pregnancy. With my first I was 199 then gained 30 pounds, with my second I was 189 and gained 40 pounds. I’m starting this pregnancy at 166, and hate the thought that after all my hard work I’ll be back up near my previous weights. But hoping this is my first pregnancy under 200!

Answer

I've seen charts for how much weight women should gain based on their BMI. It looks like you should only be gaining 10 or so pounds, so I think you'll be fine! I'm 5'3", and my projected end weight is 160. 
I too am a little nervous about gaining weight, because I've never weighed that much!

Answer

I’m in the same boat it makes me so nervous. Hoping to shed it all off! Last pregnancy I was 136 and by the end of it 154. Went back down to pre-pregnancy. This time around I’m starting at 160 and hoping I don’t gain 40+ lbs.

Answer

With my last, my discharge papers said excessive weight gain in 3rd trimester. I went from 130 to 174. The weight gain has really been on my mind lately so I plan to use portion sizes and eat healthy. Even try and exercise when i feel up to it.... but haven’t felt up to that yet lol. ￼

Answer

With my first I was 160 and on the day I had her was 190! I’m terrified of this!! I hated the scale when they said 190 I cried!!! But I’m back down to 160 again, was hoping to be less before I had baby 2 but didn’t happen 😂 so I’m guessing I’ll gain the same amount again

Answer

I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been!  I was at a good weight, got pregnant and had a MMC at 13 weeks.  I gained additional weight after my miscarriage due to hormones 😕 I had one cycle and then conceived my rainbow 🌈 so I am starting this pregnancy off 15lbs heavier and I’m struggling with it. BUT try and stay positive and eat healthy.  Our bodies will gain what our babies need.  We will have forever afterwards to lose it.
