I gained 7 lbs in 4 weeks!!

HmmSurprise

 

I was doing really well with the weight gain until NOW.   Oh well, I guess 7 lbs is better than 10 lbs, right?

 

I have a feeling Sam is going to be a BIG baby (and my ass is going to be a big baby, too).   Mia was 8 lbs 9 oz.  I'm willing to bet that Sam is going to be over 9 lbs.

 

Re: I gained 7 lbs in 4 weeks!!

  • That happened to me too - that was the most I ever gained in one month though (except maybe the last month but I stopped paying attention to the scale then).  I hope for your sake that Sam isn't 9 lbs.  Ow.
  • They said that was probably my "spurt".  That's a big spurt, though.  It's almost 2 lbs a week.

     If I keep that rate up, I'm going to have a lot of work to do after I have him. 
     

  • If it makes you feel any better I had two big months...about 10 a piece.  One around Xmas and another back in March after my grandmother passed away.  Just had my sizing ultrasound Tuesday and they said my DC is already 6 1/2 pounds (should be about 5 at this point).  They are predicting this one to be high 8s or low 9s...good thing is I won't be pushing this one out.  Yeah for the c-section.  My DS was 8lbs 12 oz though, so it is expected.

    I also agree that my ass is having a baby as well....Surprise

  • Sorry that you found my 7lbs Melissa. Big Smile

  • I bet Sam just needed some extra nutrients from you.  I'm sure you still look great!
  • don't feel bad- I'm in the same boat.  I was doing so well until my last appointment and found out I had gained 6 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks!  I'm only up 10 lbs overall but still- that big jump was a shocker!
  • Only 10 lbs in 25 weeks?  You're doing awesome!

    thanks Melissa!  I ty to remind myself that gaining some weight during pg is normal.  I was just trying to be careful because I was already up quite a few extra lbs before I got pg.  After that +6 lb appoint my Dr. told me I should watch my juice and fruit intake.  I think it as more likely all the cadbury eggs from Easter...lol

     here's hoping it was just a growth spurt for us both!
