shocked-over-3`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll ERR!! okay..So this is my 3rd pregnancy and so far (at 33 weeks) I`ve gained 27lbs...My previous pregnancies,no matter how I ate or exercised,I STILL gained 40lbs!! My doctor has been chewing me out saying that I`m not doing what I should,but I don`t feel that`s completely the case. (I work a physical part-time job and have two little ones that keep me busy..I eat about average) Have any of you been through gaining too much while pregnant?? Even if you tried not to?

27 pounds is fine for 33 weeks, why is the doc getting on you? on this site it tells you thats in the range of what you have gained by now under the week by week.

i gained 20 lbs while pregnant and had a 9 lbs baby. I was perfectly healthy and my doc said try not to gain to much at the end. i was angry about that, i only started at 125. dam doctors. you are fine, 27 lbs is a good healthy weight to gain.

My doctor told me to quit eating cake LOL..he was kinda joking but he really did want me to watch what i ate because i began gaining too much towards the end. I gained 43 lbs :)

I gained close to 50lbs with my first, my doctor never bothered me about it.

40lbs doesn`t seem like an excessive amount of weight. If you are supposed to gain 25-35 then 40 sounds about right. Not everyone is going to be able to fall within that perfect goal.

I gained 58lbs with my first and m doc didnt say a thing about it. I am now 22 weeks and i think I already have gained 20lbs. I dont like having to think about losing the weight after but whatever. My doc didnt say anything about it this time. I also am eating normal and healthy and I wonder why the weight keeps comin on, everybody is different I guess. I think your weight gain is normal.

I gained 80 pounds during my first pregnancy and i definatly wasnt no skinny little thing to begin with. It sucked so bad...I finally only need to lose 20 pounds to be back to normal and my daughter is 18 months. I got worse stretch marks worse than anyone i have ever seen =( I definatly dont think you need to worry, the amount of weight you have gained seems very normal to me

That`s my thing is that last year when I had baby#2,I lost all of the weight plus an additional 15 lbs in 5 months-OF COURSE THAT`S when I got pregnant AGAIN!! errrrrr.lol I know I`ll lose the weight,since I lose weight pretty quickly when I set my mind to it,but the doctor seems to feel the need to call me a fat a$$

Your on the right track your supose to gain about 25-30 pounds during a healthy ppregnancy. I gained 67 pounds during my first pregnancy and my baby was a healthy 8.4 lbs. I didnt over eat.. in fact i followed the canadian food guide for pregnant women (recommended food servings of fruits a veggies, meat etc) Sometimes i couldnt even take in all the servings.. but everyone is different we are not text books are bodies are our own! your doing well!

I gained 54 lbs! My baby was just fine. It took a year and a half to work off all the weight, but whatever..

40 lbs isnt too much weight to me. I gained that with my daughter and I have almost gained that much this time. I know very few people that gain 25 or 30 lbs. You will be just fine!! Your doc can just get over it!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
