I'm 34wks and I've only gained 15lbs so far...my doc said I needed to gain more weight...like a pound a week to be at 21lbs the entire pregnancy. I'm 5'4 and 139lbs prepregnancy so I was below the ideal according to them. At around 31wks I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes so now I'm on a 2100 calorie diabetic diet which I hate...since I'm pretty active (normal) so I'm always starving!
Hi, I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Your daughter's symptoms do not sound like diabetes. Typically diabetes symptoms include weight loss, for example, and not weight gain. I would continue to work with your doctor to find out what is wrong.
For the last few months, I have been losing weight. I'm about 5'4" and I've always been thin, but I've gone from just over 110 pounds to 100-103, depending on the day. I feel like I look sickly and I can't seem to gain any of the weight back. I've also been urinating very frequently lately. I'm much more tired than I ever used to be. I work out normally, but lately I just don't have the energy. Also, I've been getting dizzy/lightheaded a lot.
Do you have hyperthyroidism or diabetes?
I'm 20w+1 and have only gained 11lbs after dropping 15.. So I am still regaining what I lost just slowly.
Most women in a healthy weight range gain anywhere from 25-40lbs. However I don't stress over weight gain. As long as you and baby are healthy its all good!!
Plus a friend of mine who is 37 weeks didn't start gaining till around 32. Don't stress! Just make sure you keep eating well.
Eat more frequently?? Something is obviously wrong. It could possibly be hypoglycemia or diabetes. Weight loss is not necessarily a symptom, especially of Type 2 Diabetes. Random blood sugar tests are virtually meaningless. He needs to do an A1C which is a test of the average of your blood sugars for the last couple months. If it is not hypoglycemia or diabetes then you need a doctor who will help you figure out what else it might be.

A healthy and regular meal is vital to gain or lose weight. Consuming more calories than you burn will help you in gaining weight. Try to gain weight in a healthy way. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Avoid foods like cookies, chips, aerated drinks .You can also do aerobic exercises or exercises which will help you gain muscle mass. The added muscle will increase your metabolism which in turn will lead to increased consumption of calories per day to maintain that weight.
Yes Seroquel like all currently available antipsychotics can cause weight gain and the potential of diabetes. I did gain weight on Seroquel as I did with other antipsychotics. You could ask your doctor about a specific diet that would help you cut back sugar and carbohydrates and help reduce weight and regular exercise is essential as well.
Your not alone some women just gain a lot of weight during pregnancy. With my first child I gained 67lbs. I'm 5'1 feet tall and weighed 155 before getting pregnant with baby#2. I am now 36 weeks and at my last appt I had already gained 54lbs. My doctor already checked me for gestational diabetes and he is no longer concerned so I agree unless your doctor is worried about your weight gain I wouldn't be either.
Can diabetes cause weight gain and cysts? I have a 17 yr old daughter and we just got the results back from her blood work and found out she has diabetes. We haven't found out what type she is yet just notice after she gave birth to her son a year ago that she was always thristy and having real bad stomach pains and always staying tired. If someone has any idea and can help me please do.
If your diabetes is not well controlled this could be the cause of your not being able to gain weight. If you have Type 1 diabetes, you may also be at risk for other diseases that can contribute to poor weight gain, like Celiac disease.
The other question is, why do you want to gain weight?
You can some nutrient dense foods like nuts which have good fats and proteins without too high a carb load as part of your diet. Weight bearing exercise is great as a general rule.
Generally speaking, to lose weight calorie intake must be less than you burn with activity, and to gain weight you must take in more calories than you burn. This situation (being underweight and pregnant) is about the only time women have to work to get more calories, but to do so, find foods you like and eat a lot of them. Sometimes pregnant women lose their appetite, so this will be a very individualized thing.
Its not diabetes which causes weight gain, it's weight gain which causes diabetes. Her first step is to lose the weight, make lifestyle changes with her eating habits, and start performing 30 minutes of physical exercise daily. A huge number of people have been able to reverse their diabetic condition back to normal just with weight loss. Read other threads on this forum as nutritional advice and weight loss has been discussed a number of times - what to eat, what to avoid.
If you gain too much you could develop gestational diabetes and also at risk for preeclampsia. You're total weight gain should be determined by your start weight. I.e. if you start at 120lbs or so you can gain more weight (& be ok) than a woman who starts out at a higher weight.
Could just be your body holding water as long as your eating healthy and exercising youll be fine I've gained about 6-7 lbs but I'm 32 weeks
When I got pregnant my weight gain was right where it was supposed to be. At around 16 or 18 weeks I started gaining weight quite fast. I went from 5lbs to 10lbs like over night. I am now 22 weeks pregnant and I have gained 25lbs!!! Has anyone else had this? I am not eating excessively and I still throw up at least once a day it not more. This is just freaking me out. Especially since I had lost a lot of weight before. I went from 299-175.
Ftmmom221 that's a bit rude to those women who have gained that much weight like me. I was 60kg and ended up at 80kg because I got gestational diabetes and my body was retaining water like a water balloon. Please be aware there are certain medical conditions that assist in so much weight gain. I would never say I don't know why some women only gain 10pounds that's insane. Think before you say.
