Weight Gain

Since I am a little on the smaller side, I
wanted to gain a little weight to help
maintain health for this pregnancy. I
didn't think I was eating a lot more. I
went for my 3 month appt today and gain 15
pounds. The nurse and doctor were
astonished and said that is quite a bit
weight gain for only 5 weeks (saw them
five weeks ago). Now that's a lot of
weight. I laughed a little because I
honestly thought my belly pooch was at
least a little baby belly - nope. No
wonder I am practically wearing my old
maternity clothes. I asked the doctor if
our bodies metabolism slows down during
pregnancy...He said no. It does, doesn't
it??? For me to gain this much weight, it
can't entirely be food??
He actually told me to slow down the
eating. I really don't weigh that much
but he said at this rate, I will gain a
lot of pounds before all is said and done.
At least my husband likes a big pregnant
wife! I went home and told him what my
doctor said because it was funny, and he
said "weight is good, keep eating!!!"

Lol yay for the good hubby! 15 lbs in 5
weeks is a lot. I can't talk I gained
about 70lbs with my pregnancy but watch
that you don't over eat if you're small to
begin with.

My mom was put on a diet with my sister.
I think she had gained 30lbs by the time
she was 4 months  . In total, I
think she put on 70-80lbs!
I have gained 10lbs so far(i'm 32 weeks),
but i'm sure when I see my doctor
tomorrow, I would have put on a few more
pounds.

Geez .Chelle!!! Lol, .I went from only
have gained 18, to gaining like 27!!!!
&.Now all this talk of having to have
an ultrasound to check his weight. I
really don't think .Gabey is gonna wait

.Ladylee, .I wouldn't worry *too* much
about your weight. Just do what your
doctor says &as long as you're eating
healthy, you're fine!

I never get swollen at alllll. Ever. I'm
beginning to think that pregnancy (at
least this one) is just really good to me.
I haven't had any real problems or
complaints yet.

My swelling did not get really bad till
after I had them. They gave me some
medicine to help make my kidneys work
better but that did not work. It just
took time for it to go down.

Thanks. I will have to lay off of the
cheese. I eat cheese from morning til
night. With my first, I gained 30 pounds
but didn't start gaining until my 4th
month. I didn't eat as much cheese.
Watching my cheese intake will be hard!!
I need my cheese!!! I eat huge amounts of
yogurt and milk, too. Life would be hard
if I were a vegan.

Accoding to my sister's scales i've put on
3 stone which I find impossiable because
i'm still wearing my old clothes if I had
put on 3 stone I wouldn't fit into them
plus I think my midwife would have
mentioned something if I had put on so
much weight so quickly. I think my sister
needs new scales
