So I'll be 14 weeks on Saturday. Since being pregnant I've gained just under 4lbs. Is that a healthy rate? I'm curious…

Oh ok that makes sense. So at 4 months you started her on baby food?

@mamaspatt, no no it’s okay! And I exclusively pumped. I have flat nipples so my daughter couldn’t suck when she breastfed, so I decided exclusively pumping was the best decision for me.

@princessrose did you continue to pump or anything after Sorry for all the questions lol

@mamaspatt, yes, I did quit all together at 4 months. I don’t think I’ve lost any more weight since 2 months pp but like I said I don’t even get near scales. I don’t like to work out so there’s no point for me to even act like I care about my weight. Even my doctor said don’t get in a scale while pregnant. She said eat what you want. It’s the only time you get to do so. Lol

@princessrose I've heard breastfeeding burns a lot of calories. Did you stop all together at 4 months?

@mamaspatt, no, I didn’t work out at all. I breast fed for 4 months and my daughter was only 6 pounds so idk where all that weight even was. Lol. But by the end I was shoveling food into my mouth like I was a bottomless pit. Lol. I wouldn’t worry about weight unless your doctor is. I only started gaining weight after I hit about 17 weeks.

@princessrose pp*

@princessrose l.p.*

@princessrose did you work out a lot to lose that 30 l.p.?

I gained 50 pounds my whole pregnancy. My doctor said my belly was measuring right on track so my weight gain was healthy and fine. I lost 30 by 6 weeks pp and idk how much I weigh now and I don’t stress about it tbh.

@soon2bemama yea that's my problem. I have to eat breakfast or its painful. Lunch I don't really do so by dinner time it's a juggle of trying not to stuff my face. I gotta work on the lunch part lol

@mamaspatt yes but eat small portions or until you know you won't feel blown up haha

@soon2bemama that's good. I try to do the same. I've gotten too full sometimes and it's the worst. I'll try eating 3 times a day

I’m just about 14w and have gained 2.5 lbs.

@mamaspatt Yes I eat 3 times a day a perfect amount. I don't eat to where I get crazy full cause it'll make me sick so I just eat till I'm knowingly full.

@soon2bemama is you eating alright and just so happen to be losing weight?

@mamaspatt I'm not glad cause I'm carrying baby and it seems unhealthy but I would be concerned if the doctor says there's something wrong. But he says it's normal I guess.

For those who lost weight, are you glad you aren't gaining or does it concern you? Or is it just whatever you know

@soon2bemama wow I couldn't imagine losing so much. It just seems like it wouldn't make sense but it just happens like that I guess.

I'm 15 weeks and I have lost 12 pounds this whole pregnancy. I haven't gained any weight yet. But the baby is healthy and measuring on time! So I'm sure you're good!

Yeah! As long as baby is measuring good week by week your okay😊

@lex015 as long as baby is healthy right. I guess there is no standard to how much you gain or lose

@boosienana ok so it looks like I'm right on schedule with 2-5.5lbs. I naturally don't eat a lot and the pregnancy has made me eat even less. I never really liked sweets but I tend to be eating sweet things now.

@mamaspatt yes I lost about 5lbs in the first 3 months and have gained up back to 9lbs

@lex015 but you're 34 weeks?? 9lbs for the whole pregnancy?

I've gained about 9lbs
