One of the most devastating side effects I experienced was the weight gain. In the time period I was on the medication I gained about 70lbs. I practiced normal eating habits but would wake up in the middle of the night, usually blacked out, and consume large quantities of food. I saw several specialist all of whom linked it to the medication. Since my doctor been eliminating medication I have been able to graduate college, get into graduated school and work full time.
Im barely 12 wks but in the last few weeks gained alot. From my last doc appt she said from a 3 wk period i gained 5 pounds which is too much. My clothes too tight. And this app/site says my weight gain is 'excessive'. I do feel I'm eating extra calories due to craving sweets. Each pregnancy affects the body differently....
My dear you and I are due around the same dates :) mine is Nov 26th
In my case I got bloated since I've been pregnant, bloating adds weight on the scale although it's not a permanent sort of a weight gain. Could it be that most of your weight gain is also because maybe you have become bloated? Dtinking more water & controlling the amount of artificial sugars & eating healthy helps :) wish you the best !!
ll have to go through getting off Paxil after such a long period of use. Prozac is said to not have the weight gain problem, but if your problem is anxiety, Prozac probably won't be as good. No way of knowing, but that's generally true. Lexapro also is known for fewer side effects, but it has its effects and it might not work for you and it too can cause weight gain. The question is, do you still need the Paxil after 10 years?
How long do your workouts usually last?
Well you're suppose to gain weight. You can't stop it. Not everyone gains weight. But as long as you're eating healthy and exercising then the weight you're gaining the baby needs and will most likely all drop off after birth.
So I know it's normal to gain some water weight during that time of the month -- however, I've been retaining a lot of fluid for over a week now. I can't even come close to getting any of my pants on and my socks are making dents in my ankles. My period has been really light and seems to have ended today after 5-6 days. Actually, I've been spotting a bit since the first of the month. The last couple days I've weighed 6-7 pounds more than normal.
and once I have completed the antibiotics is there a chance of losing the weight? or at least stopping the weight gain. Aside from the vanity point of losing the weight I am sure it makes the arthritis and numbness worse to be carrying around 40 - 50 extra pounds. I simply don't know how to fix this problem, as crazy as that sounds.
That could be a sign of many things. Most women do not gain 8 pounds in the first 3 weeks of pregnancy. I would say wait until your period is due and then take a test.
re the same symptoms of when AF visits. The weight gain is probably from water retention, since most healthy pregnancy weight gain happens after 2 mos. - 5 lbs. would be excessive for the first month of pregnancy. Give it another few days, AF is most likely on her way! If not, do another HPT. Good luck!
