How are you doing on your weight gain?

[NicMom]

Now that we're well into the second trimester the suggested weight gain is slightly over 1 pound a week. I know that's right about what I've been doing for the last 3 weeks. At this rate I'll be the same weight I was when my daughter was born probably around 175ish just shy of 180. My average non pregnancy weight is around 160 so that keeps me in the normal range.

I'm checking in to see how everyone else is doing with their weight gain. I know for some of us it can be hard to put the pounds on and even harder to make sure we don't gain too much.

I'm already looking forward to losing the weight after the baby is born!

I just checked myself again this morning and was 160 so I am holding steady.  You are right on track PetiteWonder that's great :)  I'm sure all of our babies are very active right about now too which makes it so great.

Weight at OB today was 116... I cant remember what it was at my last appointment but I think it was 113....  I recorded on here that I was 110 on the doctors Scale on July 5th.. So based on that it puts my weight gain at exactly 1 lb per week since then...

PetiteWonder I am having the same thing happen think its fluid with me, in the morning I can be at 160 like normal and then in the evening when fluid accumulates I shoot up to 163 or 164.  I'm not overeating just find myself doing smaller snacking more so than meals.

Looks like I am back on track.. I am up to 117.8..

I am feeling better now after losing that pound last week because I gained the pound back and then some... I didnt really change anything in my diet either but I did make sure since I lost that 1lb to 1.5 pounds that even if I was not hungry that I would not skip a small snack before bed..

Looks like Ill be hitting 120 in no time and it took forever to even pass the 110 mark.\

Its odd, every time I have a jump in my weight, the baby is very inactive.. it is like it is all tired out from a growth spurt...  It has passed the kick counts today but still less than it had been for a couple days.. I am noticing a pattern since  It happen 2 weeks ago as well....
