How much have you gained in your pregnancy?

[divadivine682]

Not trying to be nosy ladies!! Im just wondering because Im 20 weeks and have gained almost 20 lbs so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I know I CANT be the only one who feels like a whale...I can't stop eating and notice I get hungry every 2 hours like clockwork! I'm trying to make the right choices in food but every now and again I slip up and don't eat the right stuff (cheeseburgers and fries for example). When I was pregnant with DS I gained 60 lbs but I was very inactive and ate what I wanted "because I am pregnant"...boy oh boy if I knew then what I know now....

So my question is this: How far along are you and how much have you gained so far? How do you feel about it?

I gained 32 lbs trough out my whole pregnancy. I think you are allowed to eat some junk food, but just be careful! Don't feel like a whale, you are pregnant :)

Thanks Dell! I know I'm preggo but this past year (from May 07 to May 08) I lost 43 pounds and know how hard I worked to get those off so for some reason its really hitting me hard that I'm gaining it all back, know what I mean? DF is so sweet about it saying I look wonderful carrrying his baby again but I still feel like a whale and know I'm only half way there!!! Grr...thanks for letting me rant!

i think I have gained so far 24 pounds and that was at 2 weeks ago visit...I am 7 months now.. I am not big anywhere else but the belly and I have a lot of amniotic fluid right now...sigh-- another story..
until the doctor told me my weight gain last visit I swore I had gained between 6-10 lbs- boy was I surprised.......plus i am carrying a big baby who is measuring 2- 3 weeks ahead via sonogram....sigh again

Addisonshopper: Good luck with the baby and the excess fluid, I'm sure everything will come out perfect.....

And now I DEFINITELY feel like a whale!! I'm finally starting to look pregnant!

I just read your thread about the fluid and I'm sorry to hear you are so stressed about the calcium deposits....Im sure everything will be fine. Especially like some of the other posters said, if it WAS ds then there would likely be more prevalent signs...try not to stress out (even though I know whats easier said then done).

at almost 32 weeks, i've gained nearly 30 lbs. most of my weight gain was first trimester (13 lbs!), it seemed like eating was the only way to make the nausea better.

I have gained 2 lbs so far. My DH is worried but the doctor reassured him that his princess is growing nicely. I have a long ways more to catch up on my weight gain!

I'm 28 weeks and have gained 25 pounds! I admit I was very bad eating whatever I wanted. But I curbed ALL that since having gestational diabetes . I'm petite, so I'm hoping not to gain more than 30-35 lbs when I give birth.
