How much weight did you mommas gain during your pregnancies? My doc says I need to slow down, which I understand and can do that... I guess I just let it get away from me! I’m 22w5d and have gained 27 pounds 😳😳. I’m going to start meal planning and really watching what I eat!
@stevie.savoie22, I can see where that would be an issue too!!! Our bodies are so weird!
My problem seems to be that I lose weight that I don't need to lose. This pregnancy and with our daughter. With her I lost so much I looked like I was on crack.
I've gained around 20-25 so far. Gained most of it in the beginning. I'm 36 weeks
@boymom_lmb, yessss!! Lol this is our first! That’s what my husband keeps saying “you’re gonna hate yourself when you have to work it all off”... and he’s right.
@mommamustain, 1st baby? That was what I did, 98lbs of happiness 😂 .. till I had to work it
All off lol
@mercutia, that’s my problem too! 😂😂 I have just been letting myself have it!
@mercutia, 🙋🏼🤦🏼♀️ mine too but I'm almost @20 already so I doubt I'll get it right lol
@mommamustain, eh it happens to
Us all at some point or another so it seems lol I'm down about gaining what I've even gained so far but long as babies are healthy I just try to not think so much about it.. I can get real depressed lol real curious to see how much I will gain, I've been having a normal appetite and now that all my energy is usually back I walk a lot so we will see!
My goal was not to gain more than 30, but I couldn’t really control it😂😂
@boymom_lmb, I’m just happy to hear that I’m not the only one gaining weight! You guys are making me feel better!
@nickee, that is partially what I am worried about! Lol I’m a thicker girl, so it’s easy for me to gain weight!
@mommamustain that's good! Keep it up! That'll also help burn off calories and keep some weight off
@skyy12221, I wasn’t, but i have been this past week! Im a teacher and am on my feet allll day and was always exhausted when I got home! I’m just now getting to where I don’t feel so exhausted!
And I couldn’t take the meds that worked the best because it caused liver problems and I was already having them without needing the meds to make it worse
@mommamustain I know the feeling! Lol just ask yourself throughout the day if you've had water. Hot tea and hot chocolate count too! Are you staying active?
@mommamustain, I had whole pregnancy sickness with my second I was in hospital a couple days before I got induced
@mommysbabies, I didn’t even have any morning sickness. I didn’t know I was pregnant until I was 12 weeks!
@skyy12221, thanks girl!!! I really haven’t been drinking water much.. I don’t get thirsty! I think that will help a lot!
@mommamustain just snack multiple times a day, watch what you eat and how much, drink water and 100% juice and you should be fine and its ok to cheat with junk every now and then just watch how much. 😊
@rikki.ferguson, 😂😂😂😂 my husband tip toes around my cravings. He’s said things a few times like “could you not eat the junk” but then I about bit his head off.
I gained 55 lbs(I dropped like 30 lbs after giving birth though so if you are personally worried the weight will stick it won't)
@mommamustain I craved tons of sweets and if I didn't get it I had a melt down. Lol
@mommysbabies, holy moly! I wish I would have lost. I know how to manage my weight, I just wasn’t doing it and using pregnancy as an excuse. 🙄🙄 I don’t even know why I let myself!
Most insurances cover a nutritionist I had opposite problem I lost 68 with first and 12 with second
@skyy12221, this makes me feel better. The doctor just made me feel really bad about it. I mean I knew I was going overboard I just didn’t realize how bad.
@rikki.ferguson, that’s how I am too!! 😂😂😂 I have a craving and I let myself have it!! I haven’t necessarily had any like “I’m going to die if I don’t have it” cravings.. but I do enjoy sweets!!
@mommamustain my doctor never got concerned about the weight gain. Some worry about it and some realize that it's just kind of a whatever thing. I did lose like 20 lbs shortly after I had my daughter, then gained almost all of it back, then lost some again. Lol. I didn't want to get fat but I wanted to eat everything during pregnancy.. eating won. Haha.
@rikki.ferguson, that’s what I’m afraid of! I have always been really conscious of calories and my nutrition.... when I got pregnant, I was just enjoying not having to watch what I eat. 😂😂 now I’m going to have to pull back on the reigns!
I’m 22 weeks as well! I’ve been concerned about not gaining enough weight. I’ve only gained 7 pounds. This is my first pregnancy..
