Help, I think I am gaining too much weight!
| Sun, 06-26-2011 - 5:16pm |
So I weighed myself today and I've gain another two lbs in a week.
I am just about twenty weeks. I am not exactly sure how much I weighed before I got pregnant, but I think I've gained about 13 to 15 lbs already. I had a set goal weight in mind and I am only like 8lbs from that weight with 20 weeks to go.

As long as you're eating healthy and your Dr thinks you're in good standards, weight shouldn't be too big of an issue. I have to be honest and say when I was pregnant w my 1st and 2nd, I was a size 2 pre-pregnancy and gained 65lbs and 60lbs and I list it all within 6 weeks of delivering. I ate healthy but my body just gained more. With my 3rd, I gained 50lbs. I found that I gained less towards the end. This go round, I've already gained 15lbs but there's not much I can do about it, it's just my body.
If you're worried, check with your OB. :) At thus point, growth is rapid but it does taper off. Good luck.
Don't look at the scale. I learned that in my first two pregnancies. Just eat as healthy as possible and try to stay active--you'll be fine. I honestly don't even look when they weigh me at the doctor.
I think I am just going to stop weighing myself. I have my first Dr. appt in a month on Thursday so we will see if she says anything and then maybe I will worry.
Just make sure you eat healthy foods.
First, don't beat yourself up. I can't stress enough how everyone (and every pregnancy) is different.

Everyone is different with what they gain.
