weight gain

Okay so I have gained just over 50 lbs during my pregnancy. I have a lot.of extra.fluid and that's what they think a lot of it is. I wasn't small when I got pregnant but I am just wondering what everyone else has gained. Also I love my Mom but the other day she was talking about all the extra skin I will have after because my belly has gotten so big, that's where I've gained all my weight FYI LO is measuring 9lbs due 11/17 and I'm thinking I'm gunna be self concious after. my husband is great says im sexy and my stretch marks are my mommy tiger stripes : I'm lucky to have him:

Everyone is going to be different with weight gain. It should be based off your pre-pregnancy weight & height. Check this calculator out, it will inform you if you've gained too much, too little, or right on track.

I'm 33 weeks and I've gained 33 lbs. I'm not small either I was plus size to begin with. Don't beat yourself up girl you are growing life and that is hard work! that was kinda mean of your mom to say, you would think she'd be more sensitive. I'm sure you will get the weight off after your baby comes, hang in there Big Smile

That's a great resource, everyone is going to gain differently and it's not fair [to you] to compare yourself to others. GL!

The last 6-7 weeks I was gaining 4-8 lbs a week, totalling around 40-45 lbs in that time span. Obviously most of that was water weight. It was so bad the last couple weeks I would hold my thighs together and the stirrups on the doctor's table would still leave sizeable indentions in my legs. Normally I can sit with my legs apart and they are nowhere near those things.

I have no excess skin issues.

I started at a healthy weight. 120 pounds and 5'2". I've gained 18 pounds, which is under the recommended amount for my prepregnancy BMI. Our baby is measuring small (20th percentile.) Only a few weeks left! :D

I'm around 18lbs this pregnancy. I gained 60 with my first, lost 40 before getting pregnant with my 2nd and then gained 30, lost 30 after DS was born before this one. Skin will stretch. DD stretched me long, and DS stretched me out... haha, thanks guys! I was doing crossfit before this pregnancy and it really helped get my tummy back, I'm hoping the same will be true after this baby is born. A supportive husband is the best!

I have gained 22lbs so far.  I have been cravings anything sweet lately so I'm a little terrified of where I might end up.  Weight gain aside, the stretch marks have been the hardest thing for me to deal with, they are out of control!!

Not sure on this pregnancy.  I'm 30 weeks and have probably gained 35 pounds already!  Not happy with that.

With DS I gained 55+

I was around 160 before pregnant. I am 37 weels and  I have gained 23 lbs during the whole pregnancy which puts me at about 180.  this is what happens though when you lose 13 lbs to morning sickness during the first 4 months of pregnancy and then the rest of the pregnancy you really dont have an appitiete to eat anything!! I'm happy about the not so much weight gain, but not like the feeling of really feeling hungry but not being able to eat :/ kinda sucks.

Stretch marks really stink though!!  I have gotten them on my lower tummy and my high hips.  They are not super dark but a pain and look ugly.  :/ bleck!

Plus size girl here, 34 weeks and gained 13 lbs so far.  All of that has come in the last 5 weeks.  With my other two kids I gained 25 and 30 pounds.  It all just depends on the pregnancy and the person.  Not really fair to compare yourself to others.  Just focus on a healthy baby!
