Its nice to know that Im not the only one feeling down about weight gain- thought i cant say that it helps with the depression of it all. Iam 14 weeks and have gained 10 pounds, Im hoping to still be able to be within the 25-30 limit that Im suppose to be gaining. Every board I see Iam about 5 pounds over the "target" weight at 14 weeks for my 5'5 frame, where I was 125 pre pregnancy. Im hoping to be able to slow this down and feel a little better about myself since i have a long ways to go.

I totally hear you and I am so glad that I am not alone! I was a health nut with my first pregnancy gained 27 lbs and exercised almost the whole time. This time around.... I gained 12 lbs so far and I am only 20 weeks yikes! Cant seem to stay away from the junk food :( I am trying to work on that. It will come off, right??? PP 1st time 147, I gained 27lbs PP 2nd time 150, I gained 12lbs and counting at 20 weeks along :/

IVF drugs packed on weight pre-conception, but during the first few weeks after the transfer, I was on prometrum, a progesterone supository. I gained about 10 pounds during that time! Since then I have only gained about 4 more. This means, at week 14, I have gained 14 lbs. Since I'm way overweight tho, I now weigh 244 lbs. I'm ok with that. This is weird tho: the first time in my life that I'm supposed to gain a bit of weight! I'm not going wild about it and over eating or using it as an excuse or anything: just trying to eat right like everyone I'm sure. :)

hey, lolah, you should check and make sure that you put the correct due date in for your ticker that goes at the bottom (you can do this on your baby page) and that will take you to your due date group. this group was from 2008.

PP: 170 28 WKS: 188
So 18 lbs so far. Not that great considering my PP weight, but last time I started at 135 and ended at 196. So, I guess this time is better. The docs arent concerned with it, last time by 28 weeks they were getting on me about the weight gain. I dont remember how much I'd gained by this time though. Even though Im not gaining as much as quickly this time I am still miserable and fat :( Ive been working out 3 times a week since day one. Thats probably the only reason I havent hit 200 lbs yet. Its too easy for me to gain weight.

I am 22 weeks and have gained 23 pounds so far. I am 5'6 and I started out at 155 and now I am 178! I don't look like it but I feel much heavier and I am wondering how my weight gain will be for the remainder of my pregnancy. This is my first so I ahve nothing to compare it too. I have been wanting to exercise more but my energy levels are down but I am gonna try and stay on it because I still have about 17 weeks to go.

I am 23 weeks (almost 6 months) tomorrow and I am 5"5' and have gained 30lbs already. Kind of depressed about it but I'm trying to safely shed at least 5-10 of those or continue on a stable weight. I was 130 when I conceived.

At the time I delivery I weighed exactly the same as I did prepreg. I lost 15 lbs the first 5 months and spent the rest gaining it back.

I am 23 weeks along and have gained forty-five pounds. Too much I know. I did alot of stress eating while waiting for test results. Now I feel less stressed and much more inclined to eat healthy and workout. However, I am resigned to a sixty-five to seventy pound weight gain. I am going to have to work pretty hard to get this off afterward.

I haven't weighed myself since my doc's appointment but I was 132lbs before I got pregnant and I'm now 183lbs.
I had quite a squabble with my sister -- I said, I'm feeling really fat.
she said, you arent fat you're pregnant.
I said, well, I might be pregnant but I'm also fat.
She refused to give in to my self loathing, bless her heart. hehe. At the time, though, I was like, look, I have cellulite in places I never thought you could get it. I have stretch marks from my waist to my knees. And I have gained 51 lbs. There is no way a baby and fluid weighs 51 lbs.
I'm only 5'3 so I feel the weight. A lot.
I know she's just being the best sister ever. But it did frustrate me at the time. hehe.

I didn't gain anything at my prenatal two weeks ago but yesterday I gained one pound. I started at 145 and am now 171. 26 pounds so far. What makes me mad is that I'm getting little stretch marks at 26 pounds and two of my friends gained 40 pounds and didn't get any!!! ARRH

I'm going to make you feel a little bit better JINGLING - and I think we are due right around the same time.
I know I have had a lot of swelling so I'm praying for lots of water weight too. I also have no stretch marks (knock on wood) or cellulite. I'm not worried anymore - nothing to do at this point!

37 weeks = 18 pounds 13 from week 10 and no weight gain the last 3 visits (1 month). Doctors said I am stretching and baby is at the right week. Plus I just started getting stretch marks so I know baby is growing. Hate the marks but glad the baby is fine.
OK. I think I win! I am the heavy weight champion here-haha. I lost weight at my last appt and did not gain any at yesterdays but here we go...
This time last year-129 pounds Weight yesterday-195 pounds
grand total-66 pounds
For some reason, I am not too worried about it anymore, I think it will all come off with a little effort and that a lot of it is water weight.
Oh, also despite all this, I have NO stretch marks and no cellulite. My belly is just humugous and I've gained fat in some weird places like under arms and back fat. It will all be SO worth it!

Ugh - since conception 52, since doc's appt 47.
I'm just going to stop looking when they weigh me - nothing I can do about it now right? I am all belly though with some arm flubber thrown in for good measure.
Couldn't get away with nothing....

No problem.
I just had that information somewhat verified from a lady who is on a weight loss journey. She was told it is better to eat before a weigh-in than to drink anything because fluid weight shows up immediately but food weight not so much.

I have gained a total of 32 pounds this pregnancy. Soon I'll lose some of that, so I don't rightly care. Before the appt I also drank a huge amount of water and juice....so I'm going with the theory that the two extra pounds was from that.

34.2 lbs at 36 weeks. I am .8lbs away from a whopping 190lbs.
I have to keep trying to find comfort in the fact that I feel good, look good and both baby and I are healthy.
"I'm Pregnant I'm Pregnant I'm Pregnant........"
is what I now keep reminding myself.
It is just a shock when you are accustomed to being much smaller.
This morning I officially retired my wedding ring until after the birth. Every now and then it feels really tight and I didn't want for it to become stuck and restrict the blood flow in my finger.
It feels so weird not to have it on. I love wearing it as a reminder of my union and how much DH and I love one another.

Well...I gained 4 lbs last week which puts my total weight gain to -1. Lost 14 gained 13 back. I've got three more weeks so hopefully the 4 lbs a week will not be my continuing trend. I'm thinking maybe 5 or 10 more lbs before she gets here.
As for swimsuits...I love my bottoms. Tankini with skirt bottoms but a flattering tennis skirt type style as opposed to the ruffles. the ruffles I think make my thighs look bigger unfortunately.
