Weight gain!!!! :(((

[bubbles_cymru]

So I am 21w 2d pregnant .... I am hypothyroid i.e. born without one, and I weighed this morning!!!

12 stone 12.0.6 to be exact!!!

I was 10st 8 I think pre-pregnancy - with my first I hit 10st 4 at 27 weeks!! My legs have defo gone huge and my boobs and my circumference around my body and belly button is 40inches!!!! I am alarmed being an avid crossfitter and runner prepregnancy, running around more after my little girl and doing bits and pieces of swimming and aqua when I can....

Heeeeelllp is this normal!? I have 19 weeks to go and the top end is only 15lbs away!!!!

every persons weight gain is different hun.. try not to worry too much. If you feel its too much ask at your next appointment and i am sure they will reassure you hun. You can loose it all again afterwards xxx

I weigh around the same as you and I'm only 5ft so I'm fairly over weight, try and relax you'll probably find your weight gain will slow down towards the end.

im a big woman so i totally get the whole worried about weight gain thing. Im watching mine like a hawk and trying 100% to maintain mine as best i can.

but you can definitely loose it all afterwards. I made the mistake of not loosing after DS1 & DS2. After this baby i am 100% commited to getting rid of all of the weight i have gained since my first pregnancy. You can do it hun.

I've already gained 30 lbs. I'm hoping I don't gain too much more and am able to lose it all after baby is born

I'm nearly 23 weeks and have gained nearly the same as you which is near enough normal.

By 23 weeks with my DD, I'd gained...30lbs so I'm happy with 18lbs at the same point. I lost it all after DD too and I gained 4 1/2 stone in total with her.
