Weight Gain

Kan, with #1 I didn't look prego at all, can't remember the weight gain. This munchkin is super different. Guess the muscles have been stretched once, so they know what to do. I'd say as long as your baby is weighing and measuring right, and so is your uterus..you're fine!

KAN i was the same with my pass pregnancy. when i went to the hospital wit my m/c doctors thought i was a kid with stomach cramps.

Wow Kan it's great to see things are still going on yay sorry been mia pc was down for a while.Whats new with you

The last two months is when I started to gain and even then small amounts, a pound here, two there..

Kan, I wouldn't worry too much. I didnt gain at all until about 21 weeks, and even then it was small amounts. Oh, except for that month that I gained 9 lbs in one month...lol. I gained 18 total, mainly during the last trimester.

I didn't start gaining till at least week 20. If you're a little fluffy to start with, then you don't need to gain as much. In fact, if you're really fluffy, your doc might suggest no weight gain.

Just make sure you're getting enough calories and taking your vitamins

Kan, i wish i could remember how much i gained by 20 weeks, but i'm not positive. i want to say i gained about up to 12 lbs. i do know that by about 6/7 months i had gained about 20lbs.

do you appear skinnier everywhere else? what do your doctors think about it?

ThisisMelissa, I am not even a little fluffy!! My doctors feel like eventually the weight will come. Gaining the 35lbs in completely out of reach but they said at this point 15lbs would make them happy. My mom only gained 10 lbs with me(she is smaller than me), so maybe I am following suit.

Well Kan, it sounds like you're "all baby". And it also seems that you're not going to have the trouble in dropping weight post-partum. So, for that, you can be happy, right?

Stay healthy!

Kan..with my daughter I gained 23 or so but it did not come till week 25 on...and I was pretty tiny the whole time..with my second now I have already gained 27 and am 33 weeks..

As long as as you drink lots of water and eat well thats all you can do..take care of your self..lots of love
