I'm 31 weeks and 3 days and I've gained 18 lbs, and i feel proud because I've made it a point to eat right and exercise every at least other day. i push myself not to lounge too much. i didnt do this with my first and the weight took me me two years to lose. So i feel proud of my self discipline.
I'm 30w5d, I've gained 40 lbs already in this pregnancy and honestly it makes me feel hopeless. I try very hard to eat well and maintain what I gain due to already being overweight but this pregnancy has clearly kicked me in the ass. It is also very depressing to hear my Dr body shame me constantly over it like I'm not trying. I don't know how many times I've left the office in tears over it.
@rlsteidinger15, gotcha! That's probably it! I had just lost 20+ lbs before I got pregnant. & really didn't start gaining until maybe my 6th month. So hopefully I'm able to snap back.
@mid sesbellew, I was super active before the pregnancy like hard core lifting and such but when I first got pregnant my progesterone was low so I had to stop working out completely, so I'm sure I just lost a ton of muscle and gained some fat! Lol
@rlsteidinger15, that's awesome girl! Were you or are you active at all? That could be why. Not bad at all. As long as the doc is saying you & baby are healthy. ☺️
I'm only 21 weeks but I haven't gained any weight yet and it's super crazy! I'm bigger than I ever have been and my stomach is huge compared to most people as far along as I am but I still weigh less then before I was pregnant! Can't figure out how exactly that works and if it should be a concern or not!
