Do you think this is a lot of weight???

Do you think this is a lot of weight???

I'm feeling extremely fat lately...plus I don't know who's scale is right! My pre-pregnancy weight was 135....I'm now topping the scales at 170. With 7 more weeks to go, tell me it's not going to get worse. Is that really bad?

Re: Do you think this is a lot of weight???

Don't think about it, you'll lose it once Jared gets here. I gained 50 lbs with my first born!! I weighed 104lb at my first OB appt, and I wnt up to 155. I never got back to 104, but I got to 115. My current pregnancy...forget it, it;s all down hill, I'm only 21 weeks and I already gained 12lbs and I ususally gain the most in the 3rd trimester. Enjpy, this is th only time you can gain weight and people still think you look beautiful and YOU DO Stef!!!

I'm only 5'5 1/2...I should take a butt shot instead of a belly shot and you'd see when the weight has been going!

I weighed 170 pre-pregnancy . Now I weigh 180 and I'm at 25 weeks. I'm so worried that I'm going to go over 200 lbs.

Re: Do you think this is a lot of weight???

I also weighed 135 pre-pregnancy and went up to 189. I was mostly belly. Don't worry about it, some people gain less, some more.

Stephanie do not stress over it. Anyone that has seen me will tell you that I gained all my weight in my boobs and belly. I seriously think that I gained 20lbs in the boobs alone. Enjoy this time now and worry about it later!!!! You will be able to get it off!!!!

Re: Do you think this is a lot of weight???

I think you look fabulous - I wouldn't worry about it right now, you'll be able to drop it pretty quickly after the baby is born.

Re: Do you think this is a lot of weight???

I have the same problem....I weighed like 155 before i got pregnant, and when i was at the doctors last week i weighed 185!! I was so nervous, and thinking GOD I still have 3 more months to go will i be over 200lbs?? My doctor told me to go on a low carb-salt diet! So hopefully it will help me loose a little.

I don't think its a lot. You are doing great, don't worry about the weight. I lost approx 20lbs in the two weeks since I had Alex.

Re: Do you think this is a lot of weight???

I gained almost 60lbs with both babies... I was pushing 200lbs... At then end of my pregnancy I refused to look at the scale... I had DH tell me what I 'maxed out' at when Jeremy was born As long as you and baby are healthy you can always loose weight. I lost all but 11 with Emma before I got pregnant with Jeremy. Jeremy is 3 months old and Ive lost 37lbs already. Don't worry about it. You look GREAT! Enjoy your pregnancy!!

Thanks again girls...you're all so great!!!

Re: Do you think this is a lot of weight???

I started at 155 just like MelTodd and I went all the way up to 218.
Although, the baby was only 8lbs 13oz I was 30 pounds lighter when I weighed myself at the end of the week.

Re: Do you think this is a lot of weight???

Can I ask a question - for those of you that feel you gained alot of weight - was it a steady gain from beginning or was it just at the end that you gained? I'm just wondering if the majority of people gain mostly at the end...thanks!
