I was recommended to gain as minimum weight as possible but I’m up a full 10 pounds and I’m only 20 weeks. I didn’t gain anything the first trimester but these past couple weeks especially the past week I’ve gained like a pound a day or every other day. However I have noticed my rings don’t fit anymore. So maybe it’s just ridiculous water retention?

I’ve been checking my BP and it’s my usual pregnancy normal 100/60 ish.
I walk about 6-8k steps a day and drink 40-80oz of water. I never changed my eating habits pre pregnancy to now. Afraid my OB is going to chew my out about it. I started with a 40+ BMI.

Anyone else experience rapid gain without trying?

I’ve been put on lifting restrictions and limited to walking as exercise due to SCH. I understand why I have to do it and I will stick to it until doctor clears me but I’m a bit disappointed. How much muscle should I prepare myself to lose if this ends up being a couple month restriction? I’m what I like to call “fit thick”. I’m technically overweight with above average BMI but I have a higher muscle mass. Use to doing hour long cardio works 3 days and week strength 3 days a week. I haven’t been very good with protein either unfortunately due to aversions. Eggs give me the ick 6/7 days of the week and meat has also been finicky. All that sounds palatable is fast food or very bland things 🫣 Getting like half the amount of protein I’m use to.

I’m shaking I don’t even know what to say. I’m 8 weeks pregnant and going through a rough time. I decided to address what has been bothering me recently which is the fact that I don’t think he like going in public with me. He always walks ahead or behind, waits in the car etc. I told him I wanted to go to the mall today and he was trying to convince me not to go until I mentioned that I wanted to go alone and then he was okay with it.

I decided to just address what I was feeling and he blew up on me. He said “if thats what you think then that what it is”. He does this often in order to not take accountability for his actions. I call it gaslighting. I asked him why he was embarrassed to be seen with me and he refused to answer. Eventually I was like is it because you think I’m fat and he said “If I want to call you fat I would call you fat, you fat motherfucker” and then he left and I asked him not to come back.

I hate him I hate him so much. I can’t believe I’ve stayed with this loser for so long.

I’m 6+5 and I just went to the restroom and I wiped to find the toilet filled with blood and red when I wiped. I still feel pregnant and have pregnancy symptoms, I took a test just this morning and it was still positive (dye stealer). I would prefer not to wait 6 hours in the emergency room but I’m worried. It seems as if the BM triggered it or something bc everything was fine before there is no blood in my underwear.

What are my next steps? Do I call my OB and push up my first scan? Like I said I still have symptoms if I was full fledged miscarrying wouldn’t my HGC go down? At least that’s what I’ve read.

I JUST found out i’m pregnant. 5+1 and I feel like a stuffed pig already. I feel uncomfortable. I’m kind of shocked at how quickly I’ve started feeling this way. This is my second pregnancy and I have a higher starting BMI for both but for my first pregnancy, as discussed with my OB, I was to aim to gain no weight during my pregnancy and I did that. I think I actually lost weight my first trimester, gained maybe 5 pounds during my 2nd and 3rd which equaled out.

I have gained 5 pounds already despite keeping the same exercise routine of 60 minutes 4-6 times per week mixed cardio and strength. I haven’t been eating anymore, i’d argue i’m eating LESS because for some reason I have started getting full rapidly so I have been keeping the portions smaller and I have continued tracking my food intake on LoseIt (out of habit mostly) and my calorie intake hasn’t changed. Despite having a higher BMI I lead a very healthy lifestyle and have weight issues do to outstanding medical reasons.

Is this normal? I know it’s expected to not gain any weight at all first tri. I don’t want to cut calories per say but I definitely am not trying to gain a ton right now as I obviously still have 8 more months left.

My betas came back at almost 2000 exactly at 1996 for 17-18 dpo (don’t know exactly when I ovulated)

This seems quite high? I mean I’m not complaining but is there a reason it would be rising so quickly?
