Sudden weight gain So I'm not one to worry about my weight, I'm not insecure and I know I love to work out and will work…

Sprinkles, I will bring it up just to be on the safe side. And thank you! I actually feel like I look pretty good, I don't look bigger anywhere but boobs and belly. I don't have any swelling of the ankles or anything like that. My boobs feel like they've gained some pounds as well though lol. I am SUPER uncomfortable if I don't have my bra on at all times.

I swear my boobs doubled in size this week haha I've been all over the place with my weight and I'm super careful about sodium. You could ask your doctor about it but if everything is okay with baby they shouldn't be concerned. I had undiagnosed extra amniotic fluid with my last but I gained like 15 pounds really quick and they told me I was eating too much. They only picked up on it when my cervix was measuring like 10 weeks ahead and then via ultrasound. But like I said if they aren't concerned I wouldn't worry from your pics you look amazing ??

And I know weight gain increases, I just didn't expect to see a pound every day. I probably shouldn't weigh daily though.

My visit pattern for 3rd trimester is 28, 32, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40. I told them about my family history of preeclampsia and they don't seem too concerned. Oh well.

Rule of thumb for third tri is biweekly visits to monitor any development of Pre-E. I'd check with your midwife to make sure your visits increase appropriately. And then of course it goes to weekly in the last month. I think that's all pretty standard. ...that being said, Most gals will increase weight gain in the last trimester. I think APA estimates .5 lb per week and most of that is baby. BB is typically 2-3 lbs by 30 weeks and then 7-8 by 40. If all your vitals are good, don't sweat it too much!

I weight myself every week instead of every day to avoid fluctuations caused by water retention or frequency of bowel movements. Even then I have weeks where I gain a lot and weeks that I don't gain much. I think the baby goes through peaks and valleys of growth and that correlates with my weight. Keep track of your weight gain, the journal section of this app can help with it, but don't worry if it is not linear. It has been like that for me my entire pregnancy.

Meli, you're probably right. I'll call them tomorrow and see what they say. I probably should be more careful since my mom, aunts and cousin all had preeclampsia. I feel like it will probably be nothing though. I don't notice any swelling, dizziness or other symptoms.

I've been gaining over a pound a week for a while now. My biggest jump was 8 pounds in 5 weeks. I'm at 150 now, started at 125. 32 weeks, and doc never mentioned it

If you notice a sudden increase in weight gain you do need to notify your Dr

I had very slow weight gain in the beginning, then in the second trimester I gained 12lbs, now it's back to no/very slow weight gain in the third lol. Let's just hope it stays this way!!

I'm at 21lbs at 31 weeks. Probably a few more lbs now. I had slow gain in the beginning. Then I had my 6 week gap in appointments and I was up 8lbs in 6 weeks at my 29 week appointment. My dr wasn't worried because I was at a healthy BMI before she said in doing good so far. She said 1-1.5 a week until I'm due would be normal now

Gotcha! You look great and honestly I'm sure it's extra fluid or lil man packed on a pound ?

Aprilblues, I won't see a midwife again for two more weeks. My appointments are still every 4 weeks. I'm not going to call unless I start experiencing other symptoms. She was fine with 16 lbs at 28 weeks though.

You can fluctuate a few pounds here or there any given day, especially with fluid retention and things. What did your midwife say?

At the end of pregnancy the baby is packing on mostly fat so the baby is gaining weight and so are we.

It's called third trimester ? it's the worst for sudden weight gain. I gained 7 pounds just these past two weeks ??

Shaina - i know how you feel hahaha we got this , buutttt i seee you snapping back realllly fast mama so dont stress too bad ?❤ we got a short time to go ? how exciting then we meet our boyssss

Baby has huge weight gain during these last weeks!!!

I'm 30 weeks at 20 pds , each pregnancy has been between 35-45 pds all together my last I gained 35 and I lost all of it before he was 1 , and was pregnant this time. I think your body needs a certain amount and some is water weight. Also I think babe had a growth spurt

I'll gain a few pounds one week then only one pound or nothing the next few weeks, as long as it doesn't continue like that I'm sure it's fine. Also think it has to do with constipation sometimes.

It happens to me with each baby one time I gained almost 5 pounds in one week. I was 38 weeks at the time but it was shocking. My doctor was not worried.

Over night, literally, in went from 158 to 163, then 164 The next day! Honestly no idea how it got there because I was eating healthy and going on two walks every day. But I guess baby grew!

You can't possibly gain pound a day. That's 3500 excess calories. It's most likely water retention to some degree. Unless you live on ice cream and butter ;)

Also the body will start fat storage mobilization in spurts - maybe that's how your body works and it's happening. Weekly weight sessions are more accurate.

Nelly, I don't eat terrible MOST of the time. But lately I have kind of been on a roll with the crappy food. So that could be it. But I wouldn't think it would make me gain a pound a day and I don't eat a lot. My goal is not to exceed 30 lbs but if I stay within the 25-35 suggested range I'll be okay with that too. If I keep up this pound a day gain then I'm in trouble though lol

I've already gained around 32lbs at 32.5 weeks and my doctor isn't the slightest bit concerned. She says every woman is different and the guidelines are just that - guidelines. I'm more upset than she is! But I also know that, at this point, we should be seeing about 1lb in gain a week - half of that is baby, half is us. I wouldn't stress unless you start gaining a lot more! I'm also just hoping to lose the weight quickly afterwards.

From someone whos always weight was 122lbs my doctor told me for my 30 week check up that i was 142lbs i always thought okay maybe its all my belly which she did comfirm but then said i should just take it easy on eating and goes i know its hard but just because toward the end of pregnancy thats when i guess we gain all the weight idek but ever since then im like always concern of my weight and what is eat but i also havent really eaten so bad this pregnancy its always been fruits and veggies obviously some of my cravings but idk i understand youuuu for sure ?

This puts me at 20 lb gain at 30 weeks if I stay at 153. Don't know if it's just a fluctuation in water weight. But I know it's in normal range of weight gain for me.
