Thus far I've gained about 13lbs. Last hospital visit it was 15lbs but I got weighed again today and seemed to have lost 2lbs. But I'm a larger girl already so I won't gain as much as smaller ladies.

I saw on a tv show the other day where all our weight gain is alloted. Surprisingly it said we usually gain 1-2lbs in our breasts, 2-3lbs in amniotic fluid, the baby will bring it around 6-8lbs, the placenta is like 1-2lbs, and then our fluid retention brings in a significant amount.

They also say that right after the baby is born you'll lose about half of the weight you've gained, so that doesn't seem so scary. They said breastfeeding burns off 500 calories each time, so there's our own little workout right there

It's crazy to think how much extra weight we're actually carrying around because of the baby. No wonder our backs ache!!

I've gained 24 lbs. I was really worried because my Dr. appt. 3 weeks ago, I had gained 8 lbs. in 2 weeks, but then this one this week, I only gained 3 lbs. in 3 weeks. I swear my boobs are 8 of those lbs.!

So far, I've gained 10lbs. I still feel like a whale! I didn't gain any weight from November until a week and a half ago, when I gained 1lb.

I'm going to breast feed after she is here, and I've got a plan to lose the weight LOL. My cousin is a nutritionist, and she is moving close to me March 1! So I asked her to help me put the best meal plan together for a breast feeding mom. And my sisters kinda boyfriend is a health nut, and at the gym 2-3 times daily, so I asked him to be my trainer LOL. I'm dedicated to not only lose the pregnancy weight, but more on top of that. I gained weight before I got pregnant, and HATE it. I've never been a big girl, and feeling like crap about myself in a bikini on our vacations last summer was awful!


And Goldlion, you definitely dont look like a "larger girl"!!

30 pounds here too



But I've been eating HORRIBLY the last month. I have such a sweet tooth that I didn't have for the first few months.

I wiped out a package of oreos in two days.



Hopefully I can get back on track to eating healthily and slow down the weight gain.

But I too will be BF'ing when baby gets here, and it does help A LOT if you start to eat right and healthy then too.

thats exactly what I am thinking. I have gains 48lbs total, however, in the last two weeks I have lost 3lbs. So I am currently at 45lbs. I had purchased over $400 worth of new clothes right before I found out I was preggo ! And even though I got to wear some of the summer clothes, I had went ahead and purchased a few new pants. Well, stupid me took the tags off because I didn't know I was pregnant and they fit me then. Now I am just hoping that I can wear some of my new shorts, and then have lost all the weight in time for next winter to wear my BRAND NEW pants that I haven't even worn once!!

I've put on 25 pounds.... I hope to only gain 35 by the time the baby is born but will see. With two baby showers on the way (meaning lots of cake for me) I'm not sure it will be possible to only gain a pound a week LOL!!
