Weight gain - Page 2

Shifter · Oct 24th, 2008, 05:18 AM

It's different for everyone, only you will know what is right for you. I have only gained 2lbs so far, having lost a couple in first tri. I can actually see that my bum has got smaller! So I'm really pleased. I wasn't slim to begin with though, so I was definitely hoping not to gain much weight. It could still all change from here on though!

I'll be breast feeding too, all being well, and will just try to eat healthily and go for walks. I don't worry too much about my weight, although I still reserve the right to complain about my size

I have put on nearly 2 stone so far! I pan to breastfeed, and take lots of walks, hopefully that will work! Not too worried about losing it really quickly, after all it takes us 9 months to get that big in the first place!

i have put on 8lb so far, most of that in the last three weeks...

I plan on gaining and loosing the weight slowly to avoid stretchmarks, so after the birth i will set small weekly targets and probably do some walking with baby and dog, healthy eating and may join the gym if i put on lots of weight.

My mum put on 3 stone when she had me, and we are comparing our weight gain and im slightly slower than she was with me but i think i will catch up! its quite weird at how close it is to be honest lol

I've only put on about 4-5lbs (I think, that was at 16wks; might be a tad more now) but I was a little bit underweight to start with AND I lost weight in first tri not being able to eat much.. My doc doesn't want to 'let' me put on more than 12kg though (just over 25lbs) 'cause he says I'll then be back to 'normal' weight almost immediately (I assume immediately means like within 4-5months)...
We bought a jogging stroller (I'm a runner, or was!) so Im hoping to do loads of jog/walks w/ LO and breastfeeding... I'll go back to playing footie too, as soon as I can pump my milk... Hope that'll do it!

I've no idea how much I've put on (don't have any scales at home) it's only bump & boobs tho have got bigger
After pregnancy then I'll be back to the gym to shift it

I've gained 3-4 lbs but was about 20 lbs overweight to begin with. I'm hoping to only gain 15lbs by the time I give birth. I completely changed my diet and I've been eating a lot healthier. I plan to keep it up and exercise after Shim is born.

I went from 118 to 122 but that was at my last appointment and that was umm when I was 6w3d grrrr I am sure I must of hit 125 or more now. I plan on breast feeding too

Im 25 weeks today (god thats scary), I weighed myself this morning and Ive put on 11/12 lb so far, I was overweight to begin with but I think Im only putting weight on my tummy and possibly boobs, not sure how I will lose the weight yet, not really thinking about it, Im going to express milk though so hope that will help, more walking and Im sure with having 3 children I should be kept quite busy

I've put on 22 pounds. But I'm not sure where? I'm just now getting a bump. My face is slightly plumper...but not much. Oh yeah...my boobs! That's where it is.

10lbs is NOT very much at all, especially for how far along you are.
