OMG... WEIGHT GAIN!!!

ok so as you can see I am 15 weeks. When I went to the OB today... i got weighted...

i have gained 34 FREAKIN POUNDS....  I told my OB my concerns.... I explained that I didnt understand WHY i wasa gaining so fast. Because I havent been eating horrible.   From between week 4 thru week 14... i have had HORRIBLE morning sickness... even been on phenergan because its been so bad. So I Have been eating more carbs because my tummy has been so upset. But NOT 34 FREAKIN POUNDS.

My OB said she wasnt concerned ... YET. She said she could tell I have been retaining water (LOTS of humidity in Florida) because im swollen... so she said its not TRUE weight gain. Plus she said ALOT of patients gain all the weight up front.... and thats ok too.

Im just FREAKING out... obviously. My weight gain is all in my tummy too... not back or face or whatever.
   I NEED YOUR HELP... has this happened to anyone else???


(when I was pregnant with my son... pre-op... I literally ATE as much and WHATEVER I wanted... I ate so many Little Debbies... I should of bought Stock in the company.. lol    and even with him.. I gained 50 lbs but that was TOTAL....) If I keep going at this rate... I would gain like 100 lbs... THAT CRAP AINT HAPPENIN!!!!!!

Help,

no worries.....i too freaked out like u did....cept i wus freakin out  over 15lbs lol. I gained id say 90% of all my weight in the first 5months.....then i stayed pretty much the same till the end of my 8th month.....id literally gain a lb here and there in between....and thats cuz i am eating WHATEVER i want....kinda wierd that NUTHING i eat makes me "dump" or anything.....so i guess im taking alil advantage of this! haha. Over all i have gained 40lbs exactly as of today. and i have 2 weeks left till my c section. sooooo i wouldnt worry bout it till maybe u start seeing a pattern later on....and since u do live in FL im sure ur water retention has alot of lbs behind the weight gain....so again i wouldnt worry TOO much....obviously keep an eye and maybe ur gonna have to watch what goes into ur mouth alil more then usual....but itll all be worth it later on!! {and u can always go work out after the baby is born....that is what i keep reminding myself!!}

Yes - I gained 35 lbs in my butt and thighs!!! :( I went from a 12/14 to an 18/20. Granted I only had her 2 weeks ago I am already working hard to get back to my 12s before I go back to work in October :(. SUCKS!

Some of mine was water weight... how much I don't know since I don't have a working scale - my hope is that only about 20 lbs was true weight - it would be so much easier to not have to worry about 15 lbs!

Hang in there girl! I feel ya!

That's probably were I was at 15 weeks. I am 35 weeks and gained 50 lbs - but for the past two months played with the same pound. So cut back a bit on the carbs and don't snack too much its really not necessary. I was snacking constantly and said the hell with this. Stopped snacking and eating in the middle of the night and the weight stood still and I still eat what I want during the day. Good luck, write me anytime to chat I am the queen of excessive gain, and mine is NO****er because I drink so much I am swimming half the time. LOL Talk to you soon!

It's so hard to see the scale go up when for so long we've worked to bring it down!

I gained 25 lbs in the first 4 months --- and then in the next 5 only about 10 lbs.  I was freaked out too ! 

I guess I am lucky that in the two weeks since Cooper was born (two weeks, already!) I have lost over 22 lbs.  (well between 22-25 lbs depending on the day - water weight!)

I would like to lose 10 more to get to where I was before I was pregnant.  To do that I need to stop eating the carbs I added during pregnancy (dang, I love potato chips!) and start exercising again. 

Don't freak out -- this weight gain is for a very very good reason!!

You have a very nice doctor!  At my visit last week, I got totally in trouble with my doctor because I had gained a total of 23 pounds and I was 24 weeks along.  Of course, it really depends on your own body.  He wants me to only gain 25 pounds TOTAL due to my starting weight and I still have a ways to go. 

I am right there with you.  I am mortified, hungry and freaking out.  We'll see where we end up.
