My son weighed 7 lbs 9oz and the placentia was weighed on the scale at 7 lbs 5 oz. It was insane. I always thought the placenta was supposed to be about 2 lbs, but my nurse had my placenta in a bag she was lifting with two hands when she put it on the scale. I remember she said “7 lbs 5 oz. Wow, you did really good mamma. Good job on a very healthy placenta.” Eating 3 salads a day and 3 meals a day felt worth it in that moment. During my pregnancy I would get one of every vegetable I could find and at the grocery store, wash them all, give them a rough chop into bite size pieces, and fill a giant punch bowl with that “everything salad”. I’d eat a huge bowl of it in between each meal and after dinner, no dressing. I love vegetables so it wasn’t unbearable but making shaved beets like shaved carrots is a pain in the butt. The taste was not my favorite but I got through it. That praise from the nurse felt worth it.
With my first pregnancy (boy) i started at 125lb and ended at 145 (baby was 7.5lb at birth). with my second(girl) I started at 130 and (33w now) currently at 145. The numbers add up, but I blame my metabolism and being iron deficiency 😂😅 I also agree with the first comment! Those scrubs are a beautiful and fitting color 😌
Realistically a good 20-30 lbs is normal weight gain in pregnancy. I was already very overweight when I got pregnant (188 lbs) and my weight gain was just due to me overeating. I gained a lot more than 30 lbs lol but I do recommend to keep track of that weight gain. After giving birth with my baby being 7 lbs and 13 oz I still have a lot of extra weight I put on myself. Just take care of urself the best u can!
Incredibly thankful I only gained about 23 pounds during my first pregnancy. I was projected to have a 7-8 lb baby. He made his appearance at almost 36 weeks and 6.7 lb 🙌🥰
With my 1st pregnancy i gained 10kg and baby was 2.4kg. it was a boy. With second pregnancy with a girl i only gained 4.5kg and baby was 1.9kg . Apparently everything was perfectly fine and i just grow very small babies 🤷🏼♀️ after many tests done during pregnancy and after when placenta was checked. 1st baby was under 2nd centile and 2nd baby on 0.4 centile!
I gained a lot during my first pregnancy and technically nothing so far during this pregnancy at 27 weeks. I did go up briefly once in the first trimester by 3 kg then lost it in 2 weeks and again a few weeks ago I gained 4 kg and lost it all again. No idea what the reason is.
