Well, as of the 12th I was 21weeks up 10lbs. I'm sure I packed on a few since then. My Mom and I went on a weekend getaway bus trip and lets just say we didn't go hungry. Then yesterday DD and I made chocolate chunk cookies (seemed like a good idea at the time.) I've eaten 8 of them so far! I think I'll suggest she decorates a few zip lock bags and we give some to Nana and Grandpa and Grandma and Pap as a surprise! I'm tellin ya I gotta get rid of theses things before I eat them ALL! ....(the recipe makes 6 doz. What was I thinking!!)

I gained 33 and lost 22 lbs at delivery... I had alot of water.. You will lose alot escpecially if you are retaining water which sound like it with the swelling !

I'm up 33 so far at 36w5d - I have 2 weeks left before my induction - I was hoping to stay within 35 but as long as I don't hit 40 I won't be too ticked at myself!

cake and cookies . . . yummy. I wish!  I just look at that stuff right now and gain 5 pounds. Looking forward to opening one of the boxes of stashed Girl Scout cookies after baby is born so I can enjoy them without the fear of getting on the doctor's scale every week.

Do you guys remember around what time you started gaining weight?

I'm 17 weeks and only gained 3.5lbs so far.  Starting weight 112.4 now I'm 116.  Ob doesn't seem concerned, he says I'll be putting on more weight later on.

I'm still right there with you, girlfriend . . . 40 pounds here too. I was hoping to only gain 35, but I guess I should be happy with 40 since I gained 50 with my last baby. The prenatal fitness class really helped this time around. I went again this morning since I have not been having as many contractions as last week. Just the treadmill today, but at least it's something active for me to do. (39w1d)

I'm holding steady at 35 lb and we are inducing tomorrow at 2am!  I just ate a bunch of cake and cookies since no more scale for me.

I gained more like 45 with dd and it all came off within a few months.  Don't sweat it.

Rukiyar, I think you win!  Bite me.  LOL.

stop looking! what are you going to do now anyway?  when you go to the dr.  stand on the scale backwards so you can't see!  lol.  with my first i gained 44 lbs.  and the second i said i was going to only "allow" myself 25.  yea, right, i gained 42!  i had a dr. who said as long as you weren't morbidly obese to begin with, and you don't gain 100 lbs in pregnancy, don't worry about it.  she was right, there is no point, especially as you get near the end.  your baby must need the calories! you'll have a healthy baby soon!
