Pregnancy Info HOME

I started out over weight at 205 pounds and am 5 4'. By the time I was 6 weeks I had went down to 195. Now I am 18 weeks and I am at 189. (This wasn't because of sickness I wasn't really sick at all, my body was just burning more I guess) The doctor thinks it's fine since I was larger anyway. (Just a note I am very athletic and have a lot of muscle. It's not just an excuse!!) So anyway the doctor told me to lose between 13-20 pounds for the ENTIRE pregnancy. So far I've been able to do that since I've lost 15 pounds so we'll see if I can keep with it. My goal weight when I deliver is 200 pounds so that would put me 5 pounds under my starting weight. Just another note, my first appt with the doc I weighed 195 so the starting weight for him is 195 so he said I should weigh no more then 215 in the end. I'm hoping to keep the weight gain to a miniumum.
