Weight Gain?!?!?! Posted: 10-18-07 13:16pm


I'm 24 weeks and before I got pregnant I weighed 113lbs. Now I weigh 136lbs. That's a total weight gain of 23lbs. That seems quit high for only being 6 months. How much have you guys gained or did you gain during you pregnancies?

53 lbs. It depends on your weight before. If you were thin for your height then your suppose to gain more. My baby is 3 months old now and I have lost all but 5 lbs of the weight with pretty much no effort. I gained all me weight in the first trimester then slowed down after

I have gained 13 pounds so far but I had some extra weight anyways. I think since you were pretty skinny to begin with that you will probably be okay.

I know what you mean. Even before I got pregnant 113 was a bit much for me. I've been at a steady 105 for years until about 6-8 months before becoming pregnant. So I feel pretty fat right now. I can't wait till she is born so I can start to run this crap off. I'm gonna be a freakin heffer when it's all said and done.
Before I got pregnant I wore size 3 jeans. I went to target the other day and all I wanted was a pair of jeans that weren't maternity. In order to get a pair to just go over my fat thighs and butt I had to go up to a size 11. That's 8 sizes up. It totally made me sick!

i was 110 pound for years and managed to maintain that until i became pregnant. Your a bit like me!! majority of my weight is going to my bum and thighs.This has always been my problem area and it does concern me that i'm going to stay that way!! I'm just going to stick to the maternity clothes until she's here and then contemplate buying 'normal' clothes again!!

rachel, how tall are you? the good news is, most women lose an average of 25 pounds right after birth (baby, placenta, fluids).

I've gained 17 lb. at 32 weeks. But I have been very active this pregnancy and usually exercise 5-6 days a week. I started off at 116 lb. I have not weighed so much in years; it's a bit disheartening to me (I have a history with eating disorders from when I was in college), but the doc assures me I'm doing well. I think I am beginning to have some water retention and swelling as well so hopefully some of that gain is water weight and not fat.

I hate to tell you Racel but 115 for 5'5 is skinny. I used to be around 113 at that height and I looked like a little stick girl with huge boobs. That was when I was like 14 though. I really don't think you have anything to worry about.

I know that I was skinny before I become pregnant. And I like being skinny. I'm just feeling uncomfortable and like I'm gaining too much too fast. I don't want to be 9 months preggers and weigh 160 or more!!!!! Sad

I'm afraid that it will be hard to lose. I've never had to try and lose weight before, so I'm not sure how I'll do. My whole life I've been blessed with a high metabolisim (sp?). I've never had to work out or watch what I've ate. So this is all very new to me.

Well now you make me feel like a big fat cow. I weigh 170 now and I'm only 6 months preggers. Grant it-a lot of mine was caused by health problems and recurrent high doses of steroids but still be thankful for being as small as you are. If you've never had problems staying small you probably won't run in to any problems getting small again. It may take some work but it will be well worth it. I think you look fine now as it is, but that's just my opinion.

i weighed myself this morning so now i can answer the original question. i'm 15w5d and i've gained 4 pounds. i only want to gain 20 all together so i need to slow down. i'm pretty sure i gained those 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks- i was stressed from my wedding quickly approaching, then we had lots of family visiting and there was a lot of eating going on.

That's what everyone has always told me. They say just wait you won't be thin forever! But NOT if I can help it!
