I'm too scared to jump on the scales
Taking anything for water retention is a no-no. I went to a health food place when I was pregnant with Gina and was told they couldn't give me anything because I was pregnant. None of the herbs etc are considered safe as they may reduce the fluid in your body too much and impact bubs]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:23:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13622&PID=277884&title=sudden-large-weight-gain#277884 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13622&PID=277831&title=sudden-large-weight-gain#277831 Author: kezplanet

May also be an indicator for gestational diabetes - I'm not sure what the markers are except for a big baby and being extra thirsty, may be good to to get some advice]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:42:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13622&PID=277831&title=sudden-large-weight-gain#277831 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13622&PID=277652&title=sudden-large-weight-gain#277652 Author: ElfsMum

i would ring her.. as sudden weight gain can be sign of PE..on the other hand you could just be like me and swollen in the heat!!:) I havent put on extra weight but it said in the info that can be one of the signs..but you are also 32 weeks..so could just be that as well:) I wouldn't worry but i would just call and check...

and as far as water retention they told me nothing i could do except rest(yeah righto with another one) ! and feet up when possible.. oh and drinking heaps of water stops it being retained...i have no idea how but it does work.. ]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:42:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13622&PID=277652&title=sudden-large-weight-gain#277652 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13622&PID=277631&title=sudden-large-weight-gain#277631 Author: emmaohara

Well I had been plodding along putting weight on at a "normal' rate and then i got on the scales this week and had put on 4 kgs, I had not been eating anymore infact had been a bit off food with the heat. Also my hands and feet are swollen but again this is probably from the heat?

I am seeing my mw on thursday should I wait until then to ask her as shes probably very busy as i'm feeling fine otherwise? Anyone else have this?

Thanks ladies

Just had a thought - is this water retention?, any thing I could take for it?
