I am so nervous. I eat pretty well, no fast food or junk really (sweets I do indulge!) and I exercise 3-4 days per week at the gym still- weight class, yoga, elliptical maybe cardio kickbox each once per week.

I have gained 19 lbs and am only 21 weeks.

With my first, I only gained 7 lbs after week 25 for a total gain of 26 lbs- but I am scared I am going to get huge with this one.

Anyone stop gaining weight later if they gained early?

I am scared I am going to be fat this time :(

Oh yes. I gained 45lbs in 1/2 tri. Lost weight in the 3rd, and was below pre preg. weight by 6 mo so don't worry. (I was slim to begin with)

Sorry to say that for me - no, it didn't slow! With our DS, I gained 17lbs in the first trimester and then with each trimester it kept going up and up and...ugh. I gained a total of 65lbs with our DS.

This time, though, it has been totally different-thankfully!

I gained the most weight in the second trimester (6 lbs in the 4 month and another 7 in the 5th). After that it slowed...I gained 30 lbs total.

With my first...I gained a TON of weight in the beginning..then barely ANY in the end.
Pregnancy is different for EVERYONE....and each time it changes too!
My first pregancy..i gained a ton of weight(OVER 50!POUNDS!!GASP!)
My second daughter..i gained 18 pounds total and that pregnancy was ALOT easier

so just do your best to eat right and exercise when u can...just try to enjoy it!

I gained a lot at first and was really swollen. In the third, I lost weight and netted out at 14 pounds gained but I was tracking a pound a week in the beginning - like 25 pound by 25 weeks but then I went on bedrest and the weight fell off. Very odd!!

nvie · Oct 19th, 2009, 05:25 AM

My weight just kept piling on throughout the pregnancy. I gained almost 40lbs and was hungry all the time, ate 6 meals a day till I was tired of eating! Like you, I'm careful about the diet and exercise. Lost almost what I gained except for 4.5lbs.....waiting for the day!

MH's mom · Oct 19th, 2009, 10:20 AM

With both of my mine I gained a lot of weight in the beginning...like 5-6 lbs a month! I also didn't eat fast food or junk. However in the last trimester I was losing about 6 lbs a month and after each pregnancy I got back to or below my preggers weight. So don't worry and just enjoy being preggers!

loveBV · Oct 19th, 2009, 12:25 PM

Im at 30 lbs at 27 weeks. I was up 20 lbs at 20 weeks. I am gaining about 1lbs/week....

peanutbabycakes · Oct 19th, 2009, 08:30 PM

i gained most of my weight during 3rd tri. the water retention kicked in by then and i was bloated from head to toe!!

meluvs2shop · Oct 21st, 2009, 06:19 PM

i gained a lot in the first tri, too.
in my second tri my OB said i needed to watch my diet b/c there was a jump in my weight. but now at 33 weeks i think (i hope!) i slowed down. i definitely can't eat as much as before b/c there's no room. i get full quicker now.

I typically gain the largest percentage of weight in the first trimester when I'm ravenous ;-) Then it slacks off considerably until the last few weeks when the baby starts making big gains.
