When you were pregnant....

when did you gain most of your weight? 

ferraridreams

I gained most of my weight in the second trimester.  I think every month I was gaining 7-10lbs.  Thankfully most of it was water.  (not good at the time but great for lossing the weight afterwards)

With Evan I think it was at 6 or 7 months. I remember the dr. telling me I gained too much at one visit and crying the whole way home. With Ryan I kept my weight gain to 1 pound a week after the 13th week....

around 7 months. With Arianna they actually yelled at me for the first 3 or so months for not gaining weight, then by the 7th they told me I shouldn't gain anymore weight lol.

I remember it like it was yesterday.  Week 18. I gained 6lbs in less than 4 days.  I ate so much garbage, I sent my gallbladder into attack b/c it couldn't process all the junk.

This time- so far, I had gained 1lbs a week until my last visit.  From week 19-22 I gained 6lbs (in 3 weeks- that means I've recently doubled my weight gain)

No idea.  I stopped looking at the scale at like my 3rd appt.  I couldn't tell you how much I gained.  I may ask for the final tally at my 6 week post partum appt.

In the 2nd trimester, I hadn't gained any weight until wk18 or 20 then I was packing it on, it worried me but it kinda leveled out at the end.  Don't worry some people gain all throughout, in the beginning, or at the end, everyone is different.

To be honest, I never looked at the scale, I always turned my back and told them not to tell me what I weighed.....I was too scared!!!!!

2nd 1/2 of the 2nd trimester. I would fantasize about trays of brownies, a LOT.

I behaved for the most part and worked out, but the hunger was unbearable at that point.

The month between my visits at roughly 16 & 20 weeks.  I had gained about 2 lbs from pre-PG up to that point and then jumped like 6 lbs.  From then until about week 37, I gained about a half pound a week.   I didn't gain anything the last 3 weeks, but my belly got huge!!!

I was the oddball.  I was so sick in the first tri that all that would stay down was crap.  Combine that with the fact that I had been faithfully doing WW before getting PG and it was BAD.  I went from counting points and eating well and drinking TONS of water, to living on crappy food and juice.  I gained 16 lbs in the first 20 weeks.  However, since then, I've only gained about 8 lbs (as of my last appt).

Mine was in the second trimester also, I actually lost a few pounds towards the end, according to the scale anyway.

I lost a couple in the first tri...and then gained ALL of it in the second tri...I gained like 12 lbs in one month, got "the talk" and cried all the way home:( In the third tri I gained a little more, but I was super swollen and believe that was mostly water weight. Don't worry though, I lost half of my pg weight within like 2-3 weeks and I'm now 5 lbs away from pre-pg weight at 3 months pp, so it's not that bad getting it off!

For me it was mostly in my first trimester and early 2nd trimester. I didn't have any morning sickness or nausea, but instead was incredibly hungry!

Towards the end of the 2nd trimester and the beginning of the 3rd.  I actually lost 7 lbs. in the 1st trimester, and I wasn't even sick!  I joked with the nurses that the best diet was to get pregnant!   when I did start to gain weight, it was not a pound a week, but rather 5lbs here and there.  I just got back from my 37 week appt. and didn't gain anything from last week.

Towards the end of the 3rd tri for both pregnancies....

Kyle

2nd trimester ( a combo of eating only carbs because of the morning sickness...and then having the unsatiable appetite when that went away)

Thanks ladies!  I know there is no hard and fast rule I was just getting ready for my appointment and wondered if I was "normal"   So far I have gained 16 lbs.  Only 2 up from last month.  I have a friend who gained 65 lbs and I am trying so hard not to gain too much.  The dr said i was on track to gain about 30- so I guess it could be worse.  Good thing that I go to the gym or I would be in trouble!
