I stopped tracking my weight at about 20 wks, I'm 35 + 1 today, I went from a size 3 to a size 6 maternity...it made me feel better hearing that you drop 20 lbs soon after birth, but I chose not to have the added stress is knowing how much weight I've gained

I've never been one to watch my weight, so I haven't during pregnancy much either. I just glance at it each appt. Thankfully I'm always thin, just good metabolism I guess. I've gained about 13lbs so far - 20w.

I always walk but can't walk too far since being in the 3rd trimester my back and legs start to ache after being on my feet too much

Im sure your dr or midwife knows if you ask them if your curious.  Mine always weighs me but unless there's anything to worry about or I ask they dont say anything.

The only reason I keep track is because my midwife weighs me at every visit but I don't let it get to me. My midwife isn't concerned about my weight so neither am I. It will come off. Weight comes with pregnancy!:)

I am only 5'1 myself a little shorty lol
I hope to keep some of the weight because i was really skinny before getting pregnant but i don't want to become huge either
Thing with me is if I start weighing myself I'll become addicted to it due to my anxiety and paranoia, i just know i will :(

I am keeping track of my weight this time because with my first I gained 68 lbs and it took a toll on my self esteem and pretty much my whole life because before that I had never weighted more than 120 at my absolute heaviest (I'm only 5 feet tall)
