Anyone else weight gain increase more rapidly in the third trimester?

Question

I was gaining weight slowly/steadily or staying the same weight for a long time in between appointments. Until I hit the third trimester 😳 my way jumped by like 10 lbs in 4 weeks. I have eaten a little bit more since the third trimester hit but not enough to gain that much weight. Damn. Feeling like a whale hoping this is some extra water retention because otherwise...what the heck..

Answer

I thought I was the only one! 😩 I checked my weight a few nights ago and realized I've gained 8 pounds in the last 4 weeks. I've been gaining weight slowly but that is a big jump. I am up 27 pounds now at 32 weeks 5 days.

Answer

I always gain more weight at the end because my feel and legs and hands start to retain water. I think it’s pretty normal.

Answer

I’ve actually lost a total of 10 lbs but I’m still down 6 lbs, it being the third trimester I might actually start to gain weight

Answer

I gained sooooo much weight in the first and second went from 135-180 😓😓😓 (dr was not concerned at all though) and now sense last week I’ve lost 3 lbs and I’m 33w tomorrow. Had my last at 35 w so my drs don’t think I’ll last much longer now

Answer

Yes! I only gained 10lbs total the first 2 trimesters. And I’ve been gaining about 4lbs every two weeks now 🥴

Answer

My doctor told me you gain a pound a week in the third trimester

Answer

Mine has been super slow and steady (only put on 20 pounds at 31 weeks), so I'm prepared to put on a chunk now especially since I'm on bedrest. I've put on half the weight I did for my previous 2 pregnancies so I'm not concerned about it at all, as long as I have a safe delivery and a healthy baby

Answer

I actually plateau late in the second and into third thru delivery.  But I don’t think there is anything wrong with what you’re doing either!! Everyone is just different.  I gain early!   And I gain a lot, ha!  Started at 125 and I’m in the 160s now🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Third trimester is when the baby puts on all their weight. So some of your weight could just be the baby getting thicker which is good! I haven’t been weighed in a few weeks but I am sure I have also gained a good amount.

Answer

As of 28 weeks I’d only gained 5 lbs but I’m plus size to begin with. So between 24 and 28 weeks I’d gained 5 lbs. I have an appointment tomorrow and I’m scared to see what I’ve gained in the last 2 weeks. But the third trimester is when women usually start gaining more weight rapidly. I’ve been more hungry too. I have to control myself lol.
