weight gain/growth spurt

[Anonymous]

Just curious...did you gain weight steadily (1 lb per week in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters) or were there months/weeks when you went through a big growth spurt and months you gained less?

some months were less, some months were more

I gained the most in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. I lost weight until month 4, and then months 6, 7, and 8 I gained 6 or 7 lbs each month. I'm due this weekend and have gained around 30 lbs total, which is what I was aiming for. I think that everyone gains differently. However, to all of those who say they lost weight or weren't hungry in the 9th month are lucky. I've been starving and have gained 6 lbs this month.

I gained weight steadily from about month 2, except for a couple of weeks around 17 or 18 where I was RAVENOUS and could not get full, no matter what I ate. And I was eating healthy! I actually had a minor freakout because my body felt so out of control and I was so hungry that I literally couldn't sleep unless i ate right before bed. Luckily that didnt last more than a week or two! I gained about 4 pounds that week but after that it leveled off. Growth spurt I guess

I gained the most in the 1st 1/2 of my pregnancy and then I plateaued, not gaining as much. I did this with both pregnancies.

I gained nothing until week 12 when I gained 10lbs in one week. I then continued to gain 1-2 lbs per week (sometimes 3-4 lbs) and then in the last 4 weeks, I had preeclampsia and swelled up, gaining 15-20lbs of water weight in 4 days.

I gained weight steadily all the way through - roughly 1 pound a week.
