'Healthy' weight gain??

[Firstbaby123]

Hi, what is the normal amount of weight you should gain throughout your pregnancy?

Pre Pregnancy I was 9st 6 and im 5ft 7 in height, and my dress size was in between a size 8 and 10 .....pain in the ass lol

now at 24 weeks pregnant im 10 stone 9 and wear size 12.... and my boobs have gone from a 34 C - 36 DD, have I gained too much weight too quick? It used to upset me about how much weight I gained, but now I couldn't care less lol, I'm just a tad worried I'm gaining way too quick?

Anyone else gained quickly too?

Hi not sure if this is any help but I've gained 9 pound pre pregnancy to now 28 weeks, my mw yesterday said that was really good although I thought it was too much like yourself, I think if you feel healthy in yourself its not such a big thing its the only time we get to pile the pounds on & get a reward at the end hehe x

hey. . i was the same as you before 9st 7 - 5ft 7! Size 10 my boobs were 32c gone up to a DD and still getting bigger lol!

Im 20wks today and i weight 10st 2 now. . So give me another 4 weeks, they say u put on a 1lb a week that will take me to 10st 6! So i'd be on a similar gain to u! I think thats pretty normal??

Ive been using this to keep track of how much I 'should' gain but everyones different and I am JUST out of the range on mine (by like a pound)
Women gain at different rates through pregnancy its not something we should be worrying TOO much about xx

That sounds normal.

Ah dont get me started on this I'm 5ft 6" and before pregnancy I was 11stone (size 12) now at 21 weeks I'm 12stone 7lbs (size 12 maternity) !!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!

My only hope is there is 2 in there so I'm hoping I wont be left with too much weight but then I'm thinking they are going to be smaller than normal singleton babies...aaaggghhh!!

with my first i was 8stone 6lb and a size 8-10 (uk) at the end of pregnancy i was pretty much 11stone ;0 lol..... it was all bump though..... I never went back to my pre pregnancy weight.... i now fluctuate between 9stone and 9stone 10lb..... and have a lot more wobble, but then my fault for not exercising after lol.... and i weigh size 12 now althought slightly too big but size 10 too small....

I was still losing weight before my bfp. I had lost a total of 2st 12lbs and was 12st 2.5lbs (size14...12 if I was lucky haha). I now weigh 12st 9.5lbs... So 7lb gain. Which isn't too bad, I'm just hoping to only gain as much as I need to because I plan on continuing to lose weight after baby is born (I want to be 11st... That is my target!).

I'm sorry to ask, but how many pounds is 9stone 6 and 10stone 9? I can figure out kilograms! just have no idea what this is!! But either way without knowing, I would say as long as your doctor says your healthy I wouldn't worry. I have gained about 18 pounds all together so far and I worry about that sometimes, but my doctor has yet to say something!

 

[Lully2011]

9stone 6lbs = 132lbs and 10stone 9lbs = 149lbs

 

[Kaede351]

1 stone = 14lbs!

I've only gained 6 pounds this whole pregnancy so far. I haven't gained anything in the past 3 weeks. I'm starting to get worried but my OB doesn't seem concerned.

At my Dr yesterday I had gained 8lbs since the last appointment (5 weeks ago), i was kind of surprised because that seemed like a lot. Before that, in the first tri, i only gained like 2 or 3 lbs! But that puts me around 10lbs gained so far at 21 weeks, which i've been told is "on track" and normal for the 25-35lbs you're supposed to gain by the end of pregnancy

I think as long as you are eating healthily i wouldn;t worry about it. Some people gain 4 stone/56 pounds during pregnancy whilst eating healthily or like my friend only gain 8 pounds! Think it depends on your pre pregnancy weight and as you were on the low side for your height - think according to bmi you can go down to 9 st 2 for your height you might gain a little more than somebody like me who was already overweight when I conceived. Just eat healthily and worry about it when baby is born,.

I haven't gained any weight yet, in fact I lost a pound. I had a doctor's appointment Tuesday and my doctor wasn't concerned. However, she did say from this point forward I should steadily gain some weight. I'm chunky to begin with so I'm trying not to gain too much throughout the pregnancy. I want to gain enough so the baby is healthy but I don't want a lot of weight to lose afterward. I eat really healthy, probably the healthiest I've ever eaten so baby is getting lots of nutrients!

 

[lissaw]

I've decided if the doc isn't worried then nither am I. I've gained like 20 lbs and I'm 18 weeks She told me that eveyone is different and I've gained more because I was after loosing so much before getting pregnant.

So if you worried talk to the Dr and remeber I'm going to be a cow lol
so think I'm up 20 and now gaining .5 to 1 lb per week lol god help me I'll never get back into my skinny clothes lol

 

[nicolefx]

I'm 27 weeks and i've went from 7 and a half stone to 9 stone. I'm not all that fussed (it's a nice change having some curvy bits LOL) but I feel all flabby whereas I was completely toned before - just going to go swimming and walk the dog alot to try and tone up after baby is here xxx

My doctor told me early in my pregnancy that it varies between women, depends on your body type and your weight before you get pregnant, they told me I would probably gained between 25 and 45 lbs, as of 3 weeks ago I had gained 18 already so well see
