Weight gain update

Hi everyone! I was going to post this in the "2nd Tri" board, but since we are all around the same wks pg (give or take a few weeks) I figured it would be nice to get answers from you girls.

I am 24wks tomorrow and although I can honestly say I have not gained a lot of size in my legs/arms, my belly and breast are pretty huge and it seems like the scale is increasing daily. Honestly, I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks, but at last months appt. I had gained 14 pounds total (that was at 20wks). I'm scared to go over the recommended amount. I'm comfortable with gaining weight, but just don't want to gain more then I need to.

This is my first LO, a boy. :) It seems like the last week I really noticed an increase in sluggishness too- increases in effort to do daily physical activities.

How is everyone else feeling, physically/wieght wise?

Feeling sluggish... lol.. I get winded just walking around wal-mart so I started walking a mile with DF every night. Also, I've noticed that my appetite has decreased in the past couple weeks and I haven't had to snack as much..

I'm at 25 wks and at my 24 wk appt i had gained a total of 20 lbs. My Dr doesn't comment about the weight gain... probably since I started out 10 lbs underweight. As long as he's not worried, I'm not going to worry too much.

See what your Doc says about the weight gain... but if he's not worried... then don't be :)

I am 24 weeks and gained 17 pounds so far. I have felt like every physical activity is difficult from day 1 of pregnancy. I dropped from 3-5 miles of jogging to 2 miles of walking every day and a few exercise videos.

I have trouble walking a decent pace, and have to constantly ask my husband to slow down. It's weird, considering I'm usually a very active person.

I figure as long as the doctor isn't concerned, then I'm not either. =)

Well,
I am 26 weeks and I have gained I think right around the 20 lb mark.. with my first DD I gained a total of 50 so I am right on track to gain the recommended amount this time around.. the weight for me seems to just pile on at the end. my whole system just shuts down and everything sticks to me kind of sucks..
