Although i think that a calculator can be helpful it definitely isn't one size fits all. i went into my pregnancy athletic and my ob actually said he would be fine with me gaining only 20lbs since i haven't gained very much as of now. having a calculator to gauge your progress is good but ultimately how much you should gain is a conversation between you and your health care provider.
I'm just now 16 weeks with my 4th baby. as of right now i haven't gained any weight. instead i've actually lost 7 lbs. i eat what i can when i can. i barely look pregnant and don't really feel like i am either. my other 3 pregnancies weren't like this. with them i had trouble gaining weight but never lost any either. i don't know if this is a cause for concern since it hasn't happened before.
I dont think this calculator is a one size fits all...we all have different bodies and needs. im at 13 weeks and haven't gained a pound yet...its my first pregnancy and i am very athletic. im hoping to gain about 1 a week going forward so i don't gain more than 30. i exercise a lot and eat well, so keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm loosing not gaining! i'm 5 '3. began at 225 and i'm down to 197. i'm 25 weeks pregnant now. my doc was freaking out. he said what are you doing! i told him i totally changed my diet. no more fast food, chips, candies, sodas. the baby is healthy and the specialist doctor i seen said everything is normal and to continue eating healthy. all woman are different!
I am 34 weeks today with my 8th child. i have always gained about 30 pounds with my kids however with this one i have only gained 5 pounds. they are taking the baby in 3 weeks.. i don't think i am going to make the recommended weight.. this pregnancy is so different i hope the baby is ok..
I am 31 weeks pregnant and as of yet have only gained 6 pounds. im not starving myself or anything but still was concerned if it was normal. at my last doctors visit a week ago my doctor said it was fine and not to worry because the baby and i appear to be healthy and that this may be one of those cases where the weight gain is all baby, however every other website i look up says to be concerned for such a low weight gain.
I will be 21 weeks pregnant on monday. i started out a little overweight with this pregnancy. i was 138 starting out and now i have gained about 12-14 lbs. i hope my weight gain tapers off during the 3rd trimester. i started exercising again this week.
I'm 5'4 and weighed 121 pre pregnancy. i'm considered to have a normal bmi. i'm 17 weeks pregnant and i'm currently 127(6lb gain). my midwife only wants me to gain 1 pound when i return for my 20 week appointment. i did the calculations and that would put me under the recommended weight gain on this site...every where i read about pregnancy and weight gain it says to gain roughly a pound a week, so that would be 4 pounds a month. my midwife only wants me to gain 1 pound a month. seems like quite the difference. any one elses ob or midwife recommend a 1 pound a month weight gain?
I must eat far to much or just carry alot of water as i 10 pound to full term pregnancy and i am only 21 weeks pregnant at the minute my extra weight as on gone on my stomach nowhere else at all this is my third pregnancy
