Just finished reading about pregnancy weight gain. Seen this.
7 1/2 pounds is about how much the baby will weigh by the end of pregnancy.
1 1/2 pounds is how much the placenta weighs.
4 pounds is attributed to increased fluid volume.
2 pounds is the weight of the uterus.
2 pounds is the weight of breast tissue.
4 pounds is because of increased blood volume.
7 pounds is attributed to maternal stores of fat, protein and other nutrients.
2 pounds for the amniotic fluid.
(Total: 30 pounds)
On a trimester basis in a woman with a normal pre-pregnancy weight:
First trimester: 1-4.5 pounds
Second trimester: 1-2 pounds per week
Third trimester: 1-2 pounds per week
Thanks. I guess I'm doing good so far then. I have gained 6 pounds so far.
as long as your doctor isn't worried , it shouldn't matter
honestly I know woman who look like they never had kids. they're skinny as hell and they gained 50 lbs thru out their pregnancy! I've gained 40 but everyone says that they can't even tell. tbh I can't either really. don't worry about the weight unless your dr starts to worry. there's enough shit to be stressed about during pregnancy and the number on your scale should not be one of them
39wks ans gained 20lbs.. not to bad 👀
25 weeks today and I have gained 13lbs although none was in the first trimester. I hope to gain 1lb each week from now on
now times all that bull shit times 2 plus I was already plus size before the babies now I'm just fat I hate it but I'm still cute tho 😵😵😵😉
@alainalovesmommy, I still have 11 weeks to go
I didn't like gaining the weight , but it was for my little which I thought she would of came out bigger but I was wrong but 19 lbs isn't bad
@alainalovesmommy, that's good than!
@armani711, I'm 29 weeks and already gained 19lbs 😩😩
I gained 40 all together and now I just need to lose like 4 pounds and tighten things up but doctor told me I was fine with the weight gain
@armani711, I gained like 50 by the end of my pregnancy lol
I put on 30 pounds so far I still have two months to go tho smh
Mannnnn fuck that! My uterus gotta weigh at least 10lbs lmao
Baby's weight..?
How much did your LO weigh at your last ultrasound & how many weeks were you?
Before my pregnancy I was 188... Just got weighed and I'm at 168(due to hyperemesis in my first trimester I lost about 25 pounds)....anyhow, about how much weight is lost directly after giving birth? Do you literally loose however much the baby weighs? How does that work?
How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy ladies? 🤔
I've gained over 50 pounds so far 😔
How much?
How much did your little one weigh at your anatomy scan, and how far along were you when it was done? Just curious to see what the average weight is that you ladies say at your point in pregnancy!(:
So my weight is 140lbs. My pre pregnancy weight was 135. I lost 3 pounds due to not eating a lot for 2 weeks during pregnancy! So I've gained 7 pounds. And I'm only 5 pounds up from where I started at 21 weeks!
@starienite, no problem!
