Common Questions and Answers about Pregnancy month by month weight gain

Avatar m tn it's always possible to get fake negatives for hpt's and blood tests but....blood tests tend to be very accurate. i would say go to your ob/gyn or gp for an exam and additional blood work to see if there may be some other reason why you're not having your period. pregnancy isn't the only thing that causes menstration to be delayed. stress, sickness, std's, sudden weight gain, sudden weight loss are just a few.
Avatar f tn I didn't gain any weight until about 24weeks and then I gained 10lbs in a month. I am only supposed to gain around 15lbs because I am obese. At 130, gaining weight, is good for you and baby. When you weigh makes a difference. I typically have morning apts and when I had my 1 evening apt, I jumped up 5lbs but the next apt, in the morning I lost 4lbs or so. I always take my shoes and sweater off before I step on the scale.
2176548 tn?1340677817 Hence to confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn Ideal pregnancy weight gain is all based off your starting weight/height ratio. If you feel you are gaining to fast maybe try healthier smaller meals and adding some excessive (light eversizs) you can't do a whole lot about weight gain during pregnancy besides earrings right and trying to avoid binging on cravings and instead eat just enough to knock the craving out. Unless your dr is concerened (and they will tell you) just enjoy the pregnancy!
778361 tn?1309715624 THey baby at 15 weeks is not even a lb including the placenta. If this helps. THat is to much weight to gain for a pregnancy I would think it is water or a hormone problem. Maybe thyriod. I hope you are pregnant though:) I have heard of some woman gaing like that then not later in the pregnancy to even it out. BUt it was from diet and water wieght not baby weight. Hope this helps/ Hey the 19th is tomorrow!!!
Avatar f tn Oh, and I haven't tried to lose weight by the way...I had shocking morning sickness for about 4 months so I couldn't eat much...
Avatar f tn I had only gained about 8lbs by my 22 weeks, my doctor told me it was right on for my expected weight gain. The average is about 25-35lbs for an entire pregnancy, some women gain more or less, but the last trimester you usually put on the most weight.
Avatar f tn Hello, There are several reasons why a woman have delayed menstruation and this could be due to unhealthy diet, stress (emotional or physical), sudden weight gain or loss, caffeine, alcohol, and smoking. Gynecological conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and uterine cysts or polyps, can also bring about alteration in menstrual cycle. However, pregnancy is still the most common cause of delayed or missed period.
Avatar f tn I lost 8 pnds in the beginning and didnt gain any for a while. I am 33 weeks now, it took until the 5th month for me to start gaining weight and now its a slow gain. Just check with your doc and make sure they are comfortable with it. Mine was fine with it because it was because of healthy eating and I am overweight anyway. Baby will get what he needs from you no matter what so it isn't like he is being starved.
1004712 tn?1263393948 There are recommended ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and these depend on whether you are under weight, within a "normal' weight range, or overweight to begin with (and to know this your height has to be factored in). Typically, recommended weight gain ranges from about 15-35 Ibs with overweight people being at the lower end of the spectrum and underweight people being near the upper end of that range.
Avatar n tn I think that is just about perfect!
Avatar f tn m 26 weeks and have gained 16 lbs total. With my first I only gained 20 my entire pregnancy. Anyway my weight gain is perfect as my Dr said. Just had a sono my baby is 2 lbs 3 oz already.
Avatar f tn I'm due Sept 15th and my midwife said that between weeks 20-28 are when most women typically gain the most amount of weight. Between week 20-24 I gained 6 pounds, and between week 24-28 my husband and I plan on taking leave from the military and will eat like there is no tomorrow back home (where stationed far away from a lot of foods we like) and I plan on probably putting on about 6 more pounds. Just be healthy and cautious of your weight.
Avatar f tn Dont be worried about the amount of weight you gain. My pre pregnancy weight was 125 and im very athletic. But ive gained 35 pounds so far and im stacking up the weight. You have to remember that theres lots of that weight that has to do with the fluids for baby, the placenta, the uterus and the baby. You can eat as much as you want, just be sure to eat healthy. I tend to keep strawberries in a bowl that are cleaned and cut so if im hungry i go for healthy food and its all ready to eaten !
1658616 tn?1313165578 If your brown spotting last month was implantation bleeding you would have definately gotten a positive pregnancy test by now. PMS mocks pregnancy like symptoms and they can come out of nowhere (been there). Good luck to you...!!!!
1004712 tn?1263393948 Maybe, you should be careful! The doctors have told me that the normal weight gain per pregnancy month is 4 pounds. That's under the US standards. For example in Japan they say you should only gain 9kilos (that's around 19 pounds so its half of what they tell you in the US). When I first got pregnant my weight was 138(I've never been this heavy before, I wanted to cry!) then it went down to 131 (morning sickness) .
Avatar f tn s normal to put on about 500 g each week for the last 3 months, so hello 6 more kgs.. The weight gain is very individual, hope all of it will be gone a couple of months after birth.
Avatar f tn My pre-pregnancy weight was 130. I'm only 10 weeks and I've gained 8 lbs. Is this bad?
Avatar f tn I have been looking at my weight and have gained near 6 pounds in the last month. and i dont feel like i have done much different. and just today out of nowhere my boobs started to hurt sooooooooooo bad and my roomate said my areolas are a little darker than usual. is it possible i could be pregnant? its not near time for my period and my boobs are so sensitive.
Avatar f tn If your doctor thought you should be concerned he would have told you. In the last month of pregnancy baby's typically gain 1 pound a week and the month before that 1/2 a pound. Your baby will probably weigh between 7-8 pounds at birth.
Avatar f tn I topped out at thirty pound total weight gain. Of course, my son was a month early, so who knows what the REAL total would have been. Ha ha!
Avatar f tn Soo... I don't post that often, but I am freaking out. I will be 23 weeks this Saturday with 1 baby (boy), and just had a doctors visit. Everything was normal except my weight. I gained 14 pounds in 1 month. My starting weight was 176 and I now weigh 201, that's 25 pounds already and I am only half way through my pregnancy. My doctor said he wasn't concerned, but would be if it happens again.
Avatar f tn Ask her what she is basing the weight gain on??? 20 to 30 lbs weight gain is normal for the full pregnancy I can't imagine u needing to have gained 25 lbs at 28wks. I lost 15lbs and have gained back 20 so in reality I only gained 5 lbs and I'm about to be 29wks in 2 days and my doctor isn't worried. My baby is strong and healthy and no concerns.
Avatar f tn I had that for my first pregnancy and when i gave birth i was back the weight i was when i first started my pregnancy
Avatar f tn Also, you gain more weight some months than others. If you gain 7 this month, just aim to gain 1 or 2 pounds next month. It will all even out in the end.
Avatar f tn And my doctor says I gained too much weight so fast to slow down. How much weight are you actually suppose to gain in total thru out ur entire pregnancy. ?
1182418 tn?1292437001 Just try to stay away from lots of sugary things including lots of juice and milk and cheese also will pack on the weight. But normally around the middle of pregnancy you will have a month where you gain a lot and then it will taper down again. I gained 10 lbs in 1 month... OOPS!! Try and stay active as well as that will help burn off stuff. But you can also talk to your dr if you think later on you are gaining to much. The recommended is 25-35 lbs during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn What do you ladies do to stay fit during pregnancy? I've always struggled with weight and put on 80 lbs with my first! I was able to lose 50 of that but I've put on 16 lbs so far with this baby. I would like to work out and eat better but find myself giving in to naps and pizza! Any advice?
20853006 tn?1547666489 And the problem with weight gain is losing it after. I did gain weight during my pregnancy and a lot, BUT . . . I had a hard time taking it back off. So, it will be easier on you if you keep that in check even if they don't find an underlying reason for it. Glad you don't have pitting or pre eclampsia or bloating! Keep us in the know! I know I certainly enjoyed my pregnancy from the eating aspect!
