Weight gain so far

[callmedan]

I'm 19+1 and so far gained about 12 pounds (about 5.5kg) which I feel like is quite a lot
What is everyone else's weight gain?

[Sugden88]

[Redhead84]

Will be trying to keep a lid on it from now on

I'm currently 17 weeks 2 days and I have only gain 2lbs.

Since being pregnant I eat way better then I did before. A lot more vegetables, fruit and better portioning (I can't seem to eat a lot in 1 sitting). I am also still active with my racket sports and walking. I attribute all this to little weight gain at the moment.

Doc isn't concerned at all a and has told me that after 20 weeks is when you can expect more weight gain.

Pregnancy is also different for everyone.

[callmedan]

Wow I have packed it on then ha however my boobs have ballooned over 2 sizes and I already have a sizeable bump so I can see where all the weight is ha

 

[jenmcn1]

Weight gain depends on a lot. How you're eating of course but also your bmi previously, and it differs with each pregnancy.
I'm on baby #4 and it's been different each time for me. I'm at the low end of my bmi, healthy weight but I've already packed in 10lbs lol and I'm only 15 weeks!! But I wasn't eating like I usually do, because of my morning sickness...I ate a lot of bagels and cheese and over Xmas had too many cookies lol! I'm back to eating healthy again though and the weight gain has pretty much stopped and I've actually lost a tiny bit of weight. Which is likely water weight and retention from all the salt.
Anyyyyywayyyys....lol...I wouldn't worry about the weight thing..as long as you're eating healthy your body will gain what it needs to

I'm 24 wks and 5 days and have put on 11lbs. My bmi was 17.5 and I was "encouraged" to put weight on. Midwife seemed happy with my progress when I saw her last week.

 

[Marumi]

24 weeks and put on 20 lbs , at 15 weeks I already had gained 12 because I had no morning sickness.
Even though I gained "too much", I don't look different. Everyone assumes I did not gain.

Is something like a heavy placenta possible?

 

[Brunette_21]

I'm 24 +1 and I've lost 1lb not gained any at all don't know whether to worry or not lol xx

 

[wannabemomy37]

I'm 19 weeks and gained 3-4lbs. I was very sick with HG until about 14/15 weeks and lost more than 7lbs.
My doctor also said not to worry about weight as long as baby is getting what they need.
My boobs have tripled and my bump has definitely popped Lol so he's clearly growing

 

[SaraVO]

Almost 26 weeks and have lost 23 lbs since before I was pregnant. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and hopefully I will have gained a couple of pounds but I really doubt it. Last month's appointment my weight was still fine I'm not sure what she is going to say tomorrow.

 

[laila 44]

I'm almost 20 weeks and almost at 20 pound weight gain! Couldn't be happier though now that my HG is gone I'd rather gain than loose! I'm slim to start so it's all good for now

 

[hotpinklily84]

I'm 18 weeks and have gained 10 pounds. I'm 5 feet and 7 inches and weigh 162 pounds. I hope I'm able to get rid of all the weight gain after baby is born. I don't like being this heavy

 

[summermoee]

20 weeks and have gained about 20 lbs

 

[Tesh23]

Have gained 8lbs as of today! Heaviest I have ever been in my life! It's worse cos I am so conscious of how my body has changed.

Have to say I am Loving second tri so far! Mostly cos I can eat properly again hence the weight! Lol.

Looks like everyone is more or less on track- as long as Baby is healthy and thriving I guess that's the most important thing

 

[MrsAmk]

Just don't compare to anyone....one reason I don't like these threads. There are always women who compare and then try to restrict to compensate!

 

[wannabemomy37]

I agree, don't compare. Ask your doctor if they are concerned either way, but each person and pregnancy is very different
