2 stone at 28 weeks????!!!

[LittleMum]

Is this normal????

My MW said that I should put between 28 and 35 pounds on, but I'm already at 29 still with 12 weeks to go!!!!!!

Slightly worried that everyone else I know seemed to only put on 21 to 28 pounds in total? And a friend of mine that's only 3 weeks behind me has put on only 3lbs so far??!!!!

Oh my god, really starting to worry now

I was a size 12 before, and now I'm in a size 16 maternity, I'm gonna be massive!!! Is this normal? MW doesn't seem bothered about weight gain and hasn't weighed me or anything!

I'm sure I remember being told that the weight gain slows in the last few weeks, so maybe you've put on the majority of what you will do!
If the midwife is happy about your weight gain I wouldn't worry too much!

I had put on that much at 28 weeks, its slowed now, everyone puts on weight at different times xxx

dont worry about weight,, im a larger lady... and have only put on 7-8lbs and im 30+2 my friend has put on 2 half stone! so every one is really diffrent, if the midwife didnt seem worried dont worry yourself xxx ( easy to say i know, cause im worried about not putting enough on)

I was the same and now at 36 weeks have put on nearly 3 stone!! Midwife doesnt seem at all worried and when I look at myself I can see that a lot of it is baby and I know that I am retaining a lot of water (my feet must weigh a stone each! hehe) so I'm not overly worried! Try not to worry too much, your body will do what it needs too and I am sure you will be fine xxx

I've gained 2 stone at 29 weeks!! I was 9st 7lb before and am now exactly 11st 7lb - I have actually gained 7lb in the last week alone!! I hope it slows lol

Everyone gains weight differently. As long as you are eating healthily (most of the time anyway), your body will put on what it needs. I gained 40 lbs with my daughter and lost it all and more by the time she was 9 months, and this time I've gained 40 lbs again, but I'm not worried about it this time (I started at 5'6", 131 lb to give you a reference).

My weight gain has been in fits and starts, for ages i'd only gained a stone then all of a sudden it was two, then it's stopped again. Maybe you've just had a little growth spurt? Either way don't worry, 2 stone is not ridiculous at all.x

Apart from being weighed at my booking appointment, no midwife I've seen so far has as much as mentioned weight at all to me, let alone how much extra I should put on

I am more than 21lb lighter than before I got pregnant!

 

[LittleMum]

I am more than 21lb lighter than before I got pregnant!

Wow! Do you mind me asking how much you weighed to begin with?

I was 11 stone 6lbs but quite tall, so my BMI was quite low.
I had a completely flat stomach though so started to show and put weight on quite early on

I was 11st 6lb when I got pregnant, I am 5ft 11" tall - BMI was 21 and was a size 10-12

Now at 32 weeks pregnant I weigh 14st 9 so have put on 3stone 3lb and am also a size 16 maternity. I put most of my weight on in the first tri then it slowed in the 2nd tri and now its starting to even out i think. I hope I dont put much more on as 3stone is enough

I know how u feel hun its horrible but there is nothing we can do about it so focus on LO and deal with the weight after

If you BF then it should help you loose it

I think we must all worry about our weight at some point or other! Im up 20lbs @ 26 weeks which I think is a lot too!x
