Weighing yourself...

[Chellebelle]

Don't do it!!! I just did last night I can't believe how much weight I have gained... but I don't know where it's all gone!! My bump can't be that much extra!! I can't even bring myself to say how much it's increased... as soon as LO is here... I am hitting the gym!

Just wanted to say everyone puts on different amounts of weight during pregnancy. I'm sure your just fine and will lose it. x

might make u feel abit better.

• At birth, your baby will weigh approximately 3,300g (7.3lb).
• During pregnancy, the muscle layer of your womb (uterus) grows dramatically and weighs an extra 900g (2lb).
• The placenta (afterbirth), which keeps your baby nourished, weighs 600g (1.3lb).
• Your breasts weigh an extra 400g (0.9lb).
• Your blood volume increases and weighs an extra 1,200g (2.6lb)
• You have extra fluid in your body, and amniotic fluid around the baby, weighing 2,600g (5.7lb).
• Plus, you will lay down some fat during your pregnancy to provide you with extra energy for breastfeeding. This comes to about 2,500g (5.5lb).

Tell me about it ... i weighed myseld and was 10st 6lbs i almost died lol!!

Given pre pregnancy i was just under 9 stone, i was gutted, then i remembered i am pregnant lol

 

[SuzyQ]

Noooooooooooooo! I refuse to weigh myself-cos I know i will be depressed!
I'm sure you'll lose it after no problem-try not to beat yourself up about it-you're growing a little miracle in there! xx

I weighed about 8.4 stones pre pregnancy and then I was about a 10 lbs over what I had been for years (not that I was that bothered) and now I weigh 10.4 stone!

I'm not worried though. This reassures me: https://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/aboutpregweightgain.html

thanks everyone... I feel a little better.

I stopped weighing myself when I hit 13 and a half stone. Given that I'm usually 10 and a half/11, I was gutted.

That was about 10 weeks ago and I haven't looked back since so put the scales away!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Don't have scales!

 

[dannyboygirl]

I put on about 21pds...Still hitting the gym after baby though....Im hips n belly lol

 

[Blob]

I weighed myself a few weeks ago and i was the same weight as i was in july so i felt proud of myself... but i REFUSE to weigh myself now i have prob put on tonnnns of weight in the past few weeks

 

[dannyboygirl]

I put on 5 in 2 weeks..lol

I don't really care how much I've gained. I figured I would gain 50 lbs and that is around where I'm at now. I didn't exactly deny myself the foods I wanted. I'll get it off eventually.

 

[polo_princess]

Isnt it funny how we get "weight" drummed into our heads so much that even during pregnancy we cant shake the thoughts of it off!!

 

[momandpeanut]

I was 10st 2llb at my booking in appointment at 6 weeks pg and this week i was 11st 4lb !!
I was really shocked because i thought id have put loads more on (im prone to putting weight on very easy) so at the minute im quite happy !

 

[Fern.x]

U crazy woman! Something i defo wont b doing.. not even tempted!

 

[nessajane]

i weighed yesterday and ive put just under 2 stone on
Dont think ill weighh again lol think id rather not know anymore!!..... dont worry about it to much hun everyone gains different

 

[kim'sbump]

I got weighed begining of this week and have put 1 stone 6 pounds which looks scary on the scales but i don't thinks its too much just need to keep a steady pace now as i have a feeling i'm going to pile it on when i finish work.

 

[Chellebelle]

Thanks everyone. It's so good to know I am not the only one!

I just remembered the midwife saying at my booking in appointment "mind how much weight you put on - you don't want to over-do it" - I think she meant it lighthearted... but since weighing myself her words have haunted me

Ahh well... I am sure all the running around after LO when he is here will kill some calories.
