weight Gain during Pregnancy…?
November 24, 2009I am about 20 weeks pregnant. During my first Trimester i was very sick and lost about 10 lbs. my first prenatal appointment i weighed 133lbs and about 4-6 weeks later i had my second prenatal appointment and weighed over 150lbs. my doctor looked shocked and told me that i was not obese and it was probably due to the fact i had lost so much weight in the beginning i am about 5 foot 7" so he says i’m "pretty tall". now 2 weeks have gone by and i recently stepped on a scale and gained an other 10lbs. i find my weight gain very rapid even though i am not doing anything different than pre-pregnancy. my eating habits are the same if anything some days i may be eating a little less during the daytime. the only thing i am not doing anymore is hot-yoga for 90 mins once a week and sleeping more because i’m always tired. i don’t think i over sleep i am just in bed much earlier than before. i do still walk daily and do prenatal yoga (guilty of not doing 90mins/week due to lack of energy). has anyone else experienced anything like this or heard of anyone who has? i am concerned that i will gain excess weight and it will be hard to lose post-pregnancy. i’ve already gained close to 30 lbs since the first trimester and i am only half way through…
Don’t worry about it. It sounds like you’re doing just fine!
It’s one thing to gain the weight that’s actually related to pregnancy cause you will loose it after you have the baby . Like with me , i gained almost 55 pounds i think or something close to it…but i ate lots of pastry and chocolate and stuff that like (for some reason those things didn’t make me throw up and i craved them all the time…and so i just ate! lol) So the weigh that i gained wasn’t really because of the baby but it was because of how i ate…..so after i had my son i ended up being size 13….and it took me over a year to loose that weight and to get back to size 5. So….my advice is , as long as you eat healthy, you have nothing to worry about hon!!!! Good luck and congrats!!!

With my first son i gained 67 pounds don’t know why… didn’t do anything different with my others and second i gained 26 third 13 and so far this time i am 31 weeks and gained 12.
sometimes it happens are you eating lots of things high in sodium? that made me gain 13 pounds in 4 weeks with my first! i was put on a low sodium diet for the remainder of my pregnancy!
Good Luck hope you get it figured out

omg it literally looks like I have a twin.. Until I got down to the Yoga part lol I’m 5′7" and prepregnancy weight was 133lbs lost 10 due to morning sickness gained it back and then some with in a month! I gained 27lbs by second trimester, I have 4 days to go and I’ve gained over 50lbs! My doctor had a talk with me and told me I need to cut back on my dairy, and nuts and since I have I’ve finally stopped gaining. and I eat about a half bag of salad with my dinner lol so if you can just try to cut back on your favorite snacks that should do the trick..

Hey…I am not a big person. By the time I was due I had gained 80 pounds. I never changed anything. I ate a good healthy vegetarian diet. exercised regularly.
What i’m guessing is that I gained a lot of water weight. within a month of having my son I had lost 60 pounds and am now back to my pre pregnancy weight.
Good luck.

I’ve gained about the same. I got pregnant not long after being injured in the military, so I was blaming it on not doing as much physical activity as I used to… but then I found out that my mom gained about the same in each one of her pregnancies and so did my grandma. My mom is skinny now, so i’m not too worried about getting back to normal after I have my baby. If you go back to your normal routine after baby comes, I’m sure you will have no problem losing the weight either.

i gained 15-20 lbs during my first trimester, i am also 20 weeks, well tomrrow i am. i am 125 right now, i think its bc i eat a lot of junk food and dont exercise though. i walk as much as i can as long as its not raining and i go to the gym about once a week to get a good walk in.
